LAUNCHES.
As last year, I again submit a tabular Statement of the work of the
Launches, and the average daily cost of their upkeep, as being of interest.
The Launches were used during the year in making a total 13,200 visits.
Of these, 4,371 were made in the "David Burnett," 4,416 in the
" Clotho," and 4,413 in the "Denton."
