To Sail Around the Horn.

WHY TIE BkOOkLYN Is ORDERED so FAR FOR REPAIRS
ihere were, 1t seems, number OF reasons for
ordering the U. s. 8. Brooklyn to sail direct to
New YORK from Nagasaki, Japan, where she is
now lying disabled instead OF sailing to San Fran
cisco 10 be repaired. In the FIRST place at this
season Of the year the trade winds IN the Pacific
would render 1t impossible for a vessel
10 reach the American coast without q long detOur
SO that 1t Is not greatly out OF the way to con-
tnue around the cape into the Atlantic; again the
Brooklyns boilers are in a bad condition, so that
she was before the accident incapable OF making
more than knots an hour. 1t Is thought she can
sail almost as quickly as she could steam. Then,
too. the navy-yard at Mare Island is ilied at
present with vessels under repair, and it is prob
able that the work on the Brooklyn, II undertaken
there, would consume TOO much time.
