We had access to a number of plans without any restriction. After January the plans an sketches used for instructional purposes were checked, and some which had been issued to Mayers were missing.
On March 12 Captain Brodie in control of the command wrote to Mayers on the subject, stating that the matter was rather urgent. How Plans Were Found. Mayers had had under him a named Goldsmith, petty ofcer who at some time in March was alloited other duty. Two letters addressed to the petty officer were opened by Captain Brodie, ene bo ing a large meial envelope of Messrs. Vickers and the other an ordinary letter.
Inside the large envolope ware found the missing plans and a let ter from Mayers to Goldsmith stating:
