TO AID NAVAL CADETS.
Need of Deeper Channel in the Severn
River

Secretary Long has received from Sup
erintendent Richard Wainwright and for
warded to the House Naval Committee
the following communication bearing
upon the necessity for navigable waters
for the Naval Academy ships entering the
Severn River from the bay
THE necessity for a deeper channel up
to the wharves of the Naval Academy is
becoming more apparent as the number
Of cadets is increased. Last summer the
Indiana was assigned to the Naval Acad-
emy a practice ship to carry about
one-half of the cadets. Fer want OF water
IL the channel she WIS Obliged TO anchor
well cut in the bay and caused great loss
of time in preparing the ship and fitting
her for the summer cruise.
When the Puritan was ordered to Nor
folk during last winter she was detained
more than two days waiting for sufficient
water over the bar. and when she left
there was barely enough. Last year sew
oral foreign vessels visited Annapolis to
enable their officers to see the Naval
Academy and they were Obliged to an
chor Wei out in the bay. Several of our
Ships, such as the Baltimore. Philadel-
phia. and Atlanta, were anchored out in
the bay
Possibly many more might have been
sent TO Annapolis but for the want OF
water over the bar. The Chesapeake,
which was built specially for work at the
Naval Academy. draws SO much water
that it is impracticable 10 use her for
afternoon work in the bay owing to the
length Of time lost waiting for higher
water. The new practice ship requested,
which is necessary for the cadets Will
not be able to enter the river unless the
channel is improved. II will be greatly
TO the advantage OF the naval cadets 10
be able TO visit and inspect various ves-
sells which come to Annapolis, particu-
larry battleships and foreign vessels. The
length Of time occupied in going and
coming when they are anchored out in the
bay frequently results in their getting
not more than passing inspection of
these vessels.
