Once a Spanish Boat.
Among the smaller boats is the steam
launch Mercedes. tender of the War De-
partment She has quite an eventful his
tory and one of interest. Built at an Eng
lish shipyard, she was one of the launches
of the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes,
sunk by the Spaniards to block the narrow
entrance to Santiago harbor. She is a war
trophy, and was refitted especially for the
service she has been engaged in. For the

beautifully fitted out and is an elegant Mt
tie vessel Her hull is said to be of teak,
and she has a speed of ten miles an hour.
The steam launch Santa Barbara is the
tender to the naval proving grounds at In
dian Head, Md, and is almost a daily Wis
itor to this city, bringing up the ofilcers
from the station and taking back supplies.
She is the fastest launch on the Potomac,
and is fine little craft,
In addition to these vessels the harbor

Firefighter can also be classed as govern

to the public to need any extended descflp-

speedy launches, and there are numerous
launches also belonging to the government
doing duty about this city. but they are
not dignifed by names and need no de-
scription. While these are all the govern
ment vessels stationed here, there are 9TH
ers that are such frequent visitors as al

be Included the big naval tug Rocket, and
the light house tenders Holly, Maple and
Jessamfne.
Within the last year or two the old naval
vessel Fern has been sent from this city to
the Great Lakes, where she is doing duty
as a training ship for naval militia: the old
