EXPLAINS THE MISSION
Of INSPECTION YACHT
Capt. Dryden Also Pays Com
p|iment to Washington
Boat Owners.

On her first visit to this city since she
took up vessel inspection work on Chesa-
peake bay and it's tributaries about q year
ago. the power yacht Tarragon, under the
command of Navigation Inspector A. Lin
coin Dryden, is still in port today. She
was to have remained here but an hour
or two after her arrival yesterday, but
trouble with her engine detained her and
it will be some time today before she
gets away.
AS Capt Dryden explained, the present
visit was merely of social nature and
no inspection of power boats was made,
though on her way up the river Sunday
night the attention of several power boat
owners was directed to improper adjust
ment of running lights and such matters.
Although nothing definite is known, it is
probable that the Tarragon will return
to this city in the next week or two and
she will then give the commercial and
pleasure craft an inspection to determine
that they have proper equipment aboard.
Compliments Boat Owners.
Commander Dryden pays Washington
pleas craft owners a compliment, say
ing he knows they do not require much
looking after, and that they have their
boats equipped as required by the marine
regulations.
Il wish you would correct the impress
sion that the Tarragon's duty is to give
pleasure craft owners trouble said Com
mander Dryden. THAT is not the idea Of
the duty of the boat at all. She APP
breaches pleasure craft in a friendly spir
it, to keep it from getting in trouble as
well as to protect others, points out
weherein it is violating the regulations
and treats the motor boat owner who is
found guilty Of infractiOn of the law, not
as a criminal but one who has made
mistake and has but to have his error
pointed out to have it corrected
1t is sometimes necessary to impose
fines on motor boat owners who are
but minor infractions are often over
looked.
Is Handsome Craft.
The Tarragon is handsome craft and
not only looks after the pleasure and sail
ing craft to see that the navigation rules
are observed, but keeps watchful eye on
the FISHERMAN accused of ill-treating his
crew working his men overtime and not
giving them proper food When such mas
tiers as these are found the law is applied
to them in it's fullest severity.
The light draft of the TarragOn allows
her to go into any tributary of the bay
that any other vessel can go and her
speed enables her to catch anything that
attempts to sail away from her While
i'm port here the inspection launch was
visited by a number of pleasure craft
owners.

process for two days, with an idea of finding something interesting
 The four nails were found about eight inches in from the bark, while the spike was Ioz<ted about Is inches in and not a great distance from the heart of the tree. The estimate Is that the nails have been in the tree for at least century, and were probably placed there, it is thought, for they were in row. to hold sign of some kind. No theory to account for the presence of the big spike has been evolved.
 The nails and the spike are all in 8 fine state of preservation, showing barely any rust.
 All of the great tree. excepting a stump about 20 feet in height, has been taken down during the past two days, and this stump will eventually be re- moved. MT. Adams has haa nearly a dozen men at work on the dismem- berment process, which was big job. The estimates of the amount of mate riai in the parts of the tree already taken down vary from 12 to 20 cords.
