men engaged and orders have been is
sued which will reduce this number by
two-thirds.

dispensing as rapidly as possible with
transports for which there is now no
necessity. Considerable labor is invol-
we'd in this work as board of survey

various incidental questions that arise
pending the return Of the vessels to
