must cut out all fats, including
butter, all starches, must eat no

she wants, and any vegetable

JOINING FLEET
On leaving Seward the Gannet
will clear for Kodiak and then
take her station with the Argonne
and Swallow in the Aleutians.
The Argonne will serve as flag
ship of the survey expedition, and
in addition to these ships there
will be two destroyers assigned to
assist in the work of surveying the
waters of the Aleutians beginning
at Unimak Island and extending as
far west as Attu Island, only a few
hundred miles from the Asiatic
mainland.
The plans call for surveying
75,000 square miles, working west
ward over 1,500 miles of this for
bidding chain, guarded by sunken
rocks, uncharted reefs by the score
and tide rips and cloaked by sub
arctic fogs and storms.
It is possible that the transport
Vega will later join the squadron.
This would bring the personnel up
to approximately 600 men, includ
ing besides regular navy crews,
civilian experts from the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
the United States Weather Bureau
and the Navy Hydrographic Office.
CHART WATERS
Commander Hyatt of the Ar
' gonne will have two expert navy
I advisers, Commander H. A. Bodt,
' who conducted last year’s difficult
surveys of Central American wa
ters for the navy, and Lieut. J. P.
W- Vest, naval aviator expert in
aerial meteorological surveys.
Some of the Aleutian Islands
have not been surveyed since 1855
and. Commander Hyatt believes,
i this new and accurate survey will
reveal the existence of numerous
| harbors valuable for either naval
operations or merchant vessels.
It is planned to chart waters
around the islands out to the 1000
fathom curve, thus revealing reefs,
banks and safe anchorages un
charted by previous surveys.
The Weather Bureau and the
Navy plan joint establishment on
Adak Strait of a radio sta
tion, which will transmit daily to
the United States barometric pres
sures, wind direction and velocity,
humidity and the like. Adak be
ing only 200 miles north of the
trans-Pacific Great Circle route,
resultant weather data from the
projected station would be va’u
able to merchant shipping in ad -
dition to possible future strategic
The work of the expedition will
' continue until mid-August.
