Dewey, this firm of Floyd, Lawson, Lee, & Co., had invested a large amount of capital in S , and by their liberality and enterprise greatly benefited the town, they were entitled to all the favors it was in the power of the bank to give; more particularly as the firm was one of great wealth "solid as gold" and the interests of the stockholders would, therefore, be best served by keeping the line of discount mainly in so safe a channel.
General Anderson was the first officer of the American army to arrive, and says Admiral Dewey gave him "every possible assistance," and favored him "with a clear statement of the situation."
The late Admiral Dewey gave the following opinion about this submarine to the committee, an opinion which since then has become rather famous: Gentlemen: I saw the operation of the boat down off Mount Vernon the other day.

By morning the Dewey had slipped through the Strait of Dover and emerged at last into the North Sea -the field of her future activities! There, in due time, the subs reported to the American admiral.
