case of the GarOnne came under my
| own observation while at Honolulu and
was reported by me to the Superinten-
! dent of Transport Service who caused
an investigation and submitted report
to the Quartermaster-Gene This
vessel put i'm at Honolulu on account
of a shortage of her supply, both the
master and her chief engineer stating
that they had receipted for 1929 tons at

short pieces. The corral master pro-

Ennis commanding Camp Mckinley,

regarding the inferior quality of the
| forage furnished.
