At Seattle the party will disband and the officers will enter the of fees to reduce the notes of the summers work to paper so that the charts can be corrected before the next issue.
 Capt Colbert this morning stated that the party. started at Berner's Bay in the Lynn Canal section and worked south through Favorite and Saginaw Passages into Stephens Pas sage and as far south as Point Young. .tk
 "These passages are remarkably free from Instructions to naviga- tion," said Capt Colbert today. We dragged the entire area to a depth of S5 feet and found but very few shoals which show less water than that depth and these showed over 40 feet. They will not interfere with the navigation of any boat but a submarine. In bays where the water was less than 85 feet we dragged to within about 4 feet of the bottom" aa safi.-t .s
 It is the present intention to re turn next summer and continue the work from Point Young south out through Frederick Sound. In addi- tion to the drag work a shore sur vey of the topographic features was also made.
