Trigg and Company, the builders OF the
torpedo boat Stockton, have asked the
Navy Department to accept the little
vessel on the record made in the last
trial trip about two weeks ago. The
boat made a quarter knot less than the
26 knots minimum speed prescribed by
the contract. But her machinery is re-

the boat underwent the severest kind of
a trial. In several instances she exceed
ed the 26-knot mark, but an accident in
each case prevented the record being es-
