good wishes OF all who have made the acquaintance
OF her eficers and men. We have been so accus-
toned to the presence OF the English ''bue jackets
that the presence OF few hundred seamen did not
command any direct attention. The 1oity OF the
sailor when ne Is well pleased Is irrepressible and
the excellent conduct or the men Is the theme Of
universal commentator. We hope their visit has
been as pleasant to them as 1t has been to us.

nothing To complain OF In our hospitality.
