Captain Quinby asked for a court of inquiry, which was granted, and the trial was held ait the Norfolk yard. While the trial was in progress, Admiral Doyle withdrew the charge of inebriety, but the court went on and found several minor charges were sustained by the evidence.

Ponderous Gatun Lock Gates of Panama Canal to Close July 1 as First Step Toward Operation On July 1 it was planned to shut the great gates of the Gatun lock and to close the sluiceway gates and then allow the water of Gatun lakes to rise to the operating level. This will take four months. The towns of Gorgona, Matachan and Obispo will soon be under water. These are ancient villages, which were founded by the Spaniards.

The illustration shows the immensity of one pair of the Gatun gates. Notice how small the workmen appear at the foot of the gates. The great swinging doors are about 100 feet high and are very ponderous. They can be worked by electricity as easily as one would close the door of a house.
