INTERNATIONAL. ICE OBSERVATION AND ICE PATROL SERVICE. 3 



9. While on ice-observation duty, you will make reports in tripli- 

 cate to Headquarters from time to time as opportunity affords. 

 These reports should be as full and complete as circumstances will 

 permit and should be accompanied by charts, graphs, and photo- 

 graphs as appropriate. 



10. During the period of ice observation the Seneca will base at 

 Halifax, Nova Scotia. Arrange for fuel and supplies at that port, 

 and for delivery of mail, express, and freight to your vessel. 



11. The work of the Seneca on this duty will be of international 

 character, and, as the various maritime nations of the world have 

 intrusted the management of the ice observation and ice patrol 

 service to the United States, it is important that the work be done 

 as thoroughly as possible in order that the record of the United 

 States, and the Coast Guard in particular, for efficiency, shall be 

 sustained. 



12. Upon befng relieved of this duty return with your command 

 to New York, N. Y., and resume your regular station, reporting to 

 the commander. New York division, for duty in that division. 



13. You will acknowledge receipt of this order. 



W. E. Reynolds, Commandant.
