ONE of the most importment branches of the Washing
ton police department is the Harbor precinct COM
manded by Lieutenant Russell Dean
Hundreds of persons have been rescued from watery
graves by the Harbor police since its organization
thirty years ago. Many others have ben resus
citated when dragged from the District waters.
During the past ten years the Harbor police annually
have dragged for and recovered average of between
80 and 40 bodies of drowned persons in the District
waters.
Most of the drownings have been in the Potomac
river, just about the Aqueduct bridge which is the
mecca for canoists and excursionists.
Scores Of fires have been discovered by the night
patrol of the Harbor police Prompt discovery of these
blazes have probably prevented much destruction of
property.
The Harbor police also have captured hundreds of
river pirates thieves who prey launches yachts and
motor boats, as well as the commercial wharves.
Other important duties of the Harbor precinct are
enforce the game and fish laws well the harbor
and anchorage regulations. This activity in recent
years has practically brought to minimum this sort
of depredations.
Night and day the Harbor police patrol the District
waters in motorboats and in elton steamboat known
as the Vigilante.

HAVE HUGE TASK.
Not many Washingtonians real
ize the huge task which confronts
the harbor police. Organized in
1883, the harbor precinct has de-
veloped into one Of the most impor-
tant adjuncts Of the Washington
police department. Today there
are fifteen policemen detailed to
the precinct, and five civilians.
The precinct headquarters are on
Water street southwest, adjoining
the Harbor fire department and
the District morgue.
With it's organization. the harbor
police had only two men detailed to
patrol the District waters. They
were Commodore ]. r. Sutton, now
dead, VINO was IN command; Lieu
tenant Dean, as pilot, and Thomas
b. Kendall, engineer, of the sixty
foot Joe Blackburn, a steam launch
which had been bought in New
York by the Commissioners. Later
the force was augmented, and when
the very popular Commodore SUIT
ton died a few years ago Pilot Dean
was named as lieutenant Of the
precinct.
During the thirty-six years Of it's
existence the harbor police have
lost only one of its crew from drown
ling. He was Adolphus c. Con.
stantine, who, on September 16,
1891, fell from the launch at Stump
Neck, Just below Indian Head. His
fellow officers recovered Constan-
tines body after the river had been
dragged for hours.

line at Eastern branch, and from
there to Jones Point light, near
Alexandria.
There are approximately 500
yachts, motor boats and launches
In the District waters. Many Of
them already have been anchored
for tho winter. 1t is these boats
that the Harbor police have to
particularly guard against river
pirates.
Not SO long ago three river
pirates stole thousands of dollars

other craft lying in the District
waters and one night the men were
captured redhanded. In a stable
