C March 1 There is considerable satisfaction among the offi cial of t te N ivy Oc partme.it over the reports of the safe arrival of the Dewey Dry Dock off t'e Canary islands. It was not expected that there would be any difficulty encountered by the txpedition. for it waa known that the weather con ditions were reasonably good, the trip of the dock having been timed by the hydro graphert to as to take advantage of the fair winds across the Atlantic It is now realized, however, that those who esti-' mated the time to be made by the exce ditfoh gave the dock too much credit for speed. The builders of the structure have insisted that under the boat conditions the expedition could hot make greater epeed thaii ninety miles a day on the average, making no allowance for the accidents to the hawsers and the transfer of the stores. The officials of the Navy Depart ment maintained that tha Dewey struc ture Could Dot make the trip, and it was realized that tha mobility of the dry dock would go a long way toward supporting the theory of the strategic usefulness of the dock and assisting tha plan to obtain anNsppropriatlon for another in the pre sent session of Congres.
