Survey Work by Dolphin Ends in Exhaustion and Hazard
Captain Southerland reports a hazardous month long survey of the Orlusco river by the Dolphin. Officers and crew faced high winds and seas as small boats nearly swamped, two officers and several men were hospitalized, and the commanding officer injured a hand. The shallow mouth bar limits navigation to depths of 10 to 16 feet for much of the year, yet the Dolphin completed in weeks what coast survey crews deem a season's work. The ship is at Washington navy yard for refit and future orders are pending.
