The navy department today issued a report describing work accomplished by the navy aeroplanes at Vera Cruz. “The live way in which the work was done is typical of the navy avia- tors,” the report said. “After making a record in getting away when or- dered into service from Pensacola, the ‘Mississippi, under the command of Lieutenant Commander H, C. Mustin, arrived at Vera Cruz at 9 p, m., Fri- day, April 24. At daylight the next morning the Mississippi anchored in a berth assigned by Admiral Badger and five minutes after the anchor was dropped Lieutenant Bellinger was in the ‘air in a flying boat and making a scouting trip. Both aeroplanes on board were ready the night before and cculd have immediately taken to the air.” It was necessary, however, to re- port to Admiral Fletcher on shore and get his orders for scouting. “The next day, Sunday, a station cn the beach inside the breakwater, was established, and flights were made daily. Railroads, brjdges and the Mexican troops were located. Por- ticns of the rallroad were found torn up and some bridges burned. It was definitely determined that there were no mines in the harbor.
