  to

  On

  Ensign

  I 
  regret 
  to 
  record 
  the 
  loss 
  of 
  the 
  services 
  of 
  Passed 
  Assistant 
  En- 
  

   gineer 
  William 
  L. 
  Bailie, 
  who 
  in 
  February, 
  1884, 
  was 
  ordered 
  to 
  duty 
  

   with 
  the 
  Commission 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  steam 
  engineering 
  work 
  of 
  

   the 
  Wood's 
  Holl 
  Station, 
  being 
  transferred 
  from 
  the 
  steamer 
  Fish 
  Hawk. 
  

   The 
  efficiency 
  and 
  completeness 
  of 
  the 
  work 
  at 
  the 
  station 
  is 
  due 
  in 
  

   large 
  part 
  to 
  the 
  ingenuity 
  exhibited 
  by 
  him 
  in 
  planning 
  the 
  necessary 
  

   arrangements 
  and 
  combinations 
  and 
  in 
  carrying 
  them 
  out. 
  

  

  His 
  services, 
  also, 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  steam 
  engineering 
  and 
  

   plumbing 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  Fish 
  Commission 
  cars, 
  of 
  the 
  Central 
  Station 
  at 
  

   Washington, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  carp 
  ponds, 
  &c, 
  have 
  been 
  of 
  

   very 
  great 
  importance. 
  

  

  In 
  consequence 
  of 
  physical 
  disability 
  Mr. 
  Bailie 
  was 
  placed 
  on 
  the 
  re- 
  

   tired 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  Navy 
  on 
  July 
  1, 
  1885, 
  which, 
  of 
  course, 
  relieved 
  him 
  from 
  

   official 
  duty 
  with 
  the 
  Commission. 
  He, 
  however, 
  volunteered 
  his 
  serv- 
  

   ices 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  completion 
  of 
  the 
  work, 
  and 
  remained 
  at 
  the 
  

   station 
  until 
  September 
  1G, 
  when 
  he 
  left 
  to 
  take 
  up 
  his 
  abode 
  in 
  Balti- 
  

   more.
