During the past week the oars in the tank have been much improved, and the men like it very much better. Instead of having the oars full width with a large hole in the blades, they are now paired down and a number of small holes made in them. It is now possible to row eighteen strokes a minute on fixed seats without any trouble. It will no doubt be possible in the future to improve the tank...
