The word naval is substituted for belonging to the Navy of the United States to eliminate unnecessary words. The words Secretary of the Navy are substituted for Paymaster General of the Navy because of section 1 of the Act of March 29, 1894 (ch. 49, 28 Stat. 47), and 10:5061. The words the account of the paymaster are substituted for him for clarity. The words such portion of the, on their books, and of a public vessel are omitted as surplus.
