be precisely similar to those given to the
commanding officers of foreign stations
upon their departure from the United
States. In that case Rear Admiral Schley
will be instructed to proceed to his sta ton
direct and inspect the ships on the station.
That task usually involves months work.
After that, IL the commander of the station
decides to go to South Africa. he will be at
liberty to do so. without explicit orders
from the department, inasmuch as Cane
Town and Dslagca bay are within the limits
Of his station.
The department, however. is not disposed
to authorize any important departure from
this regular procedure, such as would be
involved by sending the Chicago around to
South Africa by way of the Mediterranean
first and before going to Brazil.
