This Navy Is a Joke.
And when the four-oared boat took
us ashore, one of those aboard was
the chief engineer, who carried in his
hands the broken part of the pump and
who was setting out on his endeavor to
pick up or borrow piece which could
be used in it's place.
In the Panamaian navy they do not
regard such things as of any impor-
lance; yet Jeffries is a man of force
and capability. Given time, he may
succeed in making something out of
the material with which he has to
work He has not yet taught either
officers or men that on a man -of-war
ropes, marlin pins and Delaying pins
should not be left lying round the
decks in a most perfect state of con-
fusion. Neither has he brought them
to any realization of the benefits of
discipline; but he has only begun.
Ashore or afloat, Jeffries is fitted to
command, and it is the common state
inent that in the little time he has had
he has succeeded in markedly raising
the morale of the service. There re-
mains, however, infinite room for inn
provement.
Seriously considered, this alleged
navy amounts to nothing as an arm of
the national defense. The Chuquito
and Medelin are wholly worthless in
point of availability for actual naval
service. The Tres Noviembre would
make as good showing against an
other boat of her class as she did
against the Lauterra; but against any
thing bearing any actual resemblance
to a naval vessel she could offer no
more resistance than could a paper
shell almond to the fail of steam
hammer. Nor is there cause to hope
for much improvement. OF the Chu-

At the time of his death Mobley was

Mobley was less than Is years old
