  • Revenue steamer Wolcott.—Capt. M. L. Phillips, First Lieut. W. E. Reynolds, Second Lieut. H. B. West, Second Lieut. John L. Davis, Third Lieut. W. W. Jaynes, First Asst. Engineer W. J. Phillips, Second Asst. Engineer R. W. Champlain, Second Asst. Engineer H. N. Wood.

It is probable that in the near future there will be detailed an executive officer in place of Lieutenant Carter, and two additional ensigns as watch officers. P. A., Engineer Emil Theiss, U. S.

As soon as the Department is advised of these proposed changes you will promptly be informed.
