WASHINGTON, June 9t--NolCantc dust
SO affected the bearings of the ma
Chiucry of the cruiser Potomac during
her recent relief trip TO Martinique
that she will have to undergo at least
two weeks repairs
So reports Lieut., Il. H. Mccormick
in n communication received at the
navy departments Tho report covers
all details of the trip The volcanic
dust contained fine PARTICLES of min.
erals So brittle as to badly cut the
bearings.
Another interesting point In Lieu.
tcuant McCormiCks report is the
seeming disCourtcsy Of the command
ing officers of the three French war
ships, TaEc Suchct and Dassas,
Lieutenant Mccormick states that
on May - the Potomac arrived at st.
Pierre and that the three Fronch war
ships were IN the harhOr They did
not send aboard an officer 20 pay
visit 20 the Potomac, he says, although
they had been informed by Consul
| Aymc who was aboard the Tagc, OF
| the PotomaC's mission of relief In
Martinique waters The failure to pay
n visit to the Potomac Lieutenant Nc
| CormiCk has deemed worthy of note.
especially as II was IN such contrast
to the orCr Of clvtlitcs received from
the British ships under similar cir.
| CumstancCs,"
Tho explanation for ,his failure 70
extend Courtcsies may he found In the
fact that short time previously u
! boarding officer from ono of the
| French ships came aboard the Poto-
mac rs she was on the way 60 Fort do
! France. Because the Potomac was IN
a great hurry on an important mlssiou
the visit was not returned and the
French may have felt slghted,
Lieutenant Mccormick reports a
generous spirit Of solf.sacrinnco on tho
part of the governor OF st. Vincent
After leaving supplies at Fort de
France tho potomhc went to st, Vim
cont, whore the governor was anxious
togct relief, but declined TO accept
that offered by the Potomac whom he
heard that Martinique was worse
stricken than st, Vincent
