The defense Of our harbors is a
duty the navy shares with the army.
The coast defense batteries and, with
in their field of fire, the mines, are
in charge of the military arm. But
the long sweeps of coast line between
forts are patroled and controlled by
the navy, and in this field we are
fortunate in having large fleet of
motor boats. In the, sport of motor
boating we have been pre-eminent-
both in the boats themselves and in
the qualities of the men who handle
them. Here the navy finds ready
made force that will require no more
training than Jackson's squirrel shoot

that will be equally efficient!
