Secre tary of the Navy Bonaparte explained the charts while I waa In his office and we found that 2 or 4 miles off Tybee Is the nearest the new battleship can safely get to Georgia waters. The Georgia draws 25 feet § Inches, but If Is not considered safe for her to go Into water less than 22 to 10 feet deep Secretary Bonaparte slated It would be the middle of December before the bat tleship could be sent to Georgia, but that this would ba done If we desired It. Of course we will have her com*. I expect to have a conference with Mayor Myers, of Savannah, who Is very mueh Interested in the matter and also of the presentation of soma suitable gift to the new vessel. We will doubtless be able to arrange to have the people who want to visit the Georgia taken down to Tybee on vessels of some kind.
