134 THE EFFECT OF WAVES UPON A TAFFRAIL LOG. 
paper. We will now take up the paper on ‘“‘ The Raising of the Dry-Dock Dewey,”’ 
by Naval Constructor L. S. Adams, Member. I understand Constructor Adams 
is not here, and our good friend, the Secretary, will give a brief statement of the 
paper. I went over this paper myself, when it was submitted to the Publication 
Committee, and found that it is a most interesting paper, and that it will repay very 
careful reading, but our time is so limited that we can only pay it the respect of 
giving it a very brief notice this afternoon. 
SECRETARY DANIEL H. Cox:—TI think it is unfortunate, not only that Mr. 
Adams is not here himself, but that the time at our disposal is so short, because I 
think the paper is exceedingly interesting and well worthy of careful consideration, 
particularly in view of the historical voyage that the Dewey made over the sea. 
The Secretary presented the paper.
