The magnetic survey vessel, Carnegie , arrived safely on June 10, at her home port, Washington, D.C., where she will be put out of commission probably during the period of the war. During her cruise from Buenos Aires, Argentina, around The Horn to Valparaiso, Chile, and Callao, Peru, and thence through the Panama Canal to Newport News, she was in command of Dr. H. M. W. Edmonds; the other members of the scientific staff were: Messrs. A. D. Power, Bradley Jones, L. L. Tanguy, J. M. McFadden, and Walter E. Scott. The scientific work of the Carnegie suffered an interruption of nine months in 1917, when it was necessary to detain the vessel at Buenos Aires on account of the methods of sea warfare practised by the German government. For similar reasons, the work of the Carnegie , now that she has reached her home port, will have to be suspended for an indefinite period.
