Admiral Davis reports to Secretary of the Navy Metcalf that he has left two orders for the USS Celtic through the Vice-Consul. First, the Celtic is not to leave supplies as there are enough in Kingston (following the earthquake). Second, the Celtic is not to allow shore leave but to proceed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after as brief a stay as possible.
