NAVAL VETERANS.

fdTTdguU ASSOCldUlOu Ol NdNdt Nttc-
rams, port of PROVIDENCE, met in It's hall,
"a Eddy street, Saturday night, July 2,
Capt. Thomas d. Tophff commanding.
Considerable routine business was trans

All the local associations Of Naval
Veterans, of which there are thirty-eight
in the United States, are enthusiastic
over the meeting Of naval veterans to
take place in Baltimore. Cumberland
Association of Naval Veterans of New
Bedford will probably go with Farragut
Association of PROVIDENCE. Quite a
number of outside parties have signified
their intentions TO go with the naval
veterans.
Property Clerk Blanding of the Farra-
gut Association Naval Veterans told a
good story about himself when he was
on board the receiving ship North
Carolina. He was ordered up aloft.
Now, Banding never climbed anything
but trees before his enlistment, and il
looked difficult job to him to climb up
into the top; but there was no alterna-
tive but to obey, 80 up the shrouds he
climbed, slow but sure, almost squeez-
ing the tar out of the shrouds In his
ascent. He finally reached the futtocks,
but, instead of ascending those, he
crawled through the lubber's hole and
with sigh of relief seated himself in
the top but his peace was of short
duration. AS he sat in the top getting
his wind, there came gruff hail from
the spar deck
"Aioft there i" from the boatswain.
"Aye, aye, Sir !"
Lay down." came the command.
Blanding obeyed by stretching himself
out at full length, and thought that the
boatswain was good fellow. A few
minutes elapsed when there came more
emphatic hail.
"Aloft there!"
"Aye, aye, Sir!"
"Why don't you lay DOWN."
81 am laying down Sir"
There was loud laugh on deck which
was drowned by the hoarse voice of the
boatswain crying out
"Come down on deck, you lubber,
come down !"
"Aye. aye, Sir 7"
Blanding had no sooner touched the
deck than he was ordered aloft second
time with the admonition that IL he Gid
not 90 into the top by way Of the fut-
tocks, instead Of through the lubbers
hole, he would get no supper that night.
A. B. Slater Jr.. Of the PROVIDENCE
