Hartley 10 BE Repaired
In spite Of the fact that she is too
small for the service required OF her,
lacking in power and not particularly
seaworthy, the Treasury Department
has decided TO patch UP the little old
revenue cutter Hartley, which has been
doing duty with the customs service
in this harbor almost Never since the
discovery Of steam. once upon a time
when steamers like the Barracuda
were the crack liners Of the Pacific and
scarce as sailing vessels are today, the
Hartley was quite a dashing affair and
fully able to take care of the duties to
which she was assigned. IL is differ
ent nowadays. Where the cutter on
customs duty used to carry half
dozen officials she is now at times re-
ouired to carry several score. The big,
able cutter Golden Gate is at times
hard pressed TO accommodate the Gus
toms and immigration officials whose
business takes them TO meet incoming
Messenger liners. When this crowd
piles aboard the Hartley the Hartley's
freeboard is reduced to a matter of
inches and the groans OF the overtaxed
hull are painful and alarming. Uncle
sam. however, in his big chair at
Washington. has decided that the
Hartley will serve with a few repairs,
although inspectors Bolles and Bulger
would put her in the City OF Peking
class II she was owned by private
citizen. The Golden Gate towed the
Hartley 10 BODIES yard yesterday and
there the crippled little veteran viii be
put into the best possible shape.
