FIRE Isr I.icITIsop>E,
LONG ISLAND BEACH, Jan. 18th, 1912.
Company at the L,ght House-An Excursion
Robert Tyler, &c. &c.
JAMES GORDON BENNETT Eso-
DEAR SIR
Your ready insertion of articles of interest to your
readers, especially if those articles be in the form OF
correspondence from some summer resort, induces
me to write the following, but whether you will
find it sufficiently interesting, is question.
The beach upon which the Lighthouse is situated,
is daily rcsorted to by many of the inhabitants of
the villages on the opposite Shore which excursions,
together with cunning, seem to be their principal
amusement The parties at times composed of
two hundred PERSONS and are seldom less than
twenty or thirty. AS description of one Of these
excursions will show your readers what life is on
Long Island, propose to describe one that visited
the Lighthouse on Saturday last, and which will be
found apropos for all. The company assembled at
early hour from several of the small villages OPP
pose, and among them were many from New York,
procured boat and sailed for the lighthouse. There
were about forty or fifty, the majority of whom
were ladies, and were such as we usually find on
such occasions-some pretty, others indifferent.
Miss KIN OF your city seemed TO be the most
admired certainly she was the pretiest. Her fair
cousin of sweet little village on the opposite side
of the BAY, possesses fine figure, and sang better
than any other lady present Many others deserve
Much more might be said of the gentlemen. w.
W%*****, of New York. displayed aplentlful supply
/ of small talk. w. s. has beautiful and manly
face, sings enchantingy, and altogether, is ere

blood, sports his moustache sings comic songs adj
mirably well, intelligent young man, but some
thing Of a fop. Many others, J. x $,
| e. K, &c. &c, deserve notice, but they must
take the twill for the deed" When they arrived
at the lighthouse, they enjoyed the luxury OF battle
in the Atlantic, and then sat down TO an excellent
dinner, served up by mine host of Fire Island.
| The pleasure derived from these excursions far
surpasses what many of your readers imagine, and
the battle alone is worth visit.

Assistant Surgeon GuLou took the stand for the pur
pose OF making correction in his testimony of yesteray
Thecorrecon was that he examined the papers Wash
ngton IN the early part of July and that he obtained per-
mission from the Secretary of the Navy examine the
files in the latter part OF May beginning of June On

Department was made in my presence. On my second
visit, Mr. Harding the Register Of the Department exa.
mined the files.
The Judge Advocate called en- Lieut.. Wilkes for two
general orders bearing date August It, 1885, and Februa
ry 49, 1899.

ccted to this manner Of proceeding and contended
these general orders papers addressed to other
sons that those should be subpenaed produce
