Pensacola NelUS. Capt. Ben Rocheblave
of the naval reserve is the owner of mus
tang mare, which, il yet alive, is entitled
to the championship belt for swimming
Sunday night the mare left home and went
into the navy yard. She was discovered
Monday morning, and, when the guards at
tempted to put her out of the yard, she
| took to the water, and, for an hour or more,
swan around in front of the navy yard
She then struck out across the bay, and,
after swimming at least three miles,
landed on Santa Rosa island, in the
rear of the life saving station. Crossing
the island to spot near the station, she
boldly plunged into the gulf, and when last
seen was well out to sea, swimming to the

larsled at any point west of the quarantine
station, but she may have landed at some
point east of it, and Capt. Rocheblave has
parties living up the sound looking out for
her.
