Mr. Humphrey. The entrance to the
sound Is three and a half miles across.
and IN fOCgy weather or at night even
a secOnd-class cruiser could enter with
safety and blow Seattle and Tacoma
to smithereenS. The water is so deep
IN the sound entrance that mines could
not be placed there, and the only pos
