CAMP LUDLAM
SEA ISLE CITY, n. j., August 8, 1893.
Owing to the fact that many Of the men
desired to go sailing afternoon drill was
omitted yesterday and the camp was COM
paratively quiet. Those who stayed in
camp enjoyed the bathing in the after
noon. the water being at high tide at 3:45
and although the air was very cool and
disagreeable the bath was enjoyed by all
who took it. Sergeants Roberts and
Hodges were again the envy of the camp
FOR they were the only ones who had ladies
go In with them. and IL is needless to say
that they had good time. Promenading
on the board walk was then the order of
the day until supper time. Immediately
AFTER which the company donned their full
dress uniforms and took their positions on
the porch of the Colonnade Hotel and
stood under the fire of camera Of one of
the local photographers. As soon as this
ceremony was over the company was form
ed for dress parade. The fact that the men
wore dress suits added rather a vim to
their drilling and the drill was very well
executed. AS soon dress parade was
over the company was dismissed and the
boys immediately sought out the first ser
geant for passes out of camp after taps
and when they were received moved for
the board walk and the flying horses At
O'Clock many of the members OF the COM
pany reached the Excursion House, where
hop was given. and dancing INDUCED in
until near ii O'Clock.
After Those without Passes.
Immediately after taps Major Campbell.
with permission of the officer of the guard,
formed guard patrol and went out to
find the men who were out without passes
Those who had them were made to show
them and were not molested. The first
man to be found without pass was Prof,
Branson. who was arrested before he real
lied what was up. He was apparently
walking along very peacefully when sud
denly he jumped of the board walk and
hid among the piles. where he was found
after long search and was started for
the camp under guard, when he again
long chase before he was again caught
and landed In camp Among those ar
rested by the detail were Sergeant Orrison.
Corporal Suydam and Privates McCor-
mick. Copeland. Thomas and Hopkins
Notwithstanding the vigilance OF Major
Campbell. Sergeant Hodges not only kept
out OF camp without a pass, but succeeded
In smuggling a watermelon into Sergeant
Gilbert's tent at about II o'clock. but had
to wait until after ! o'clock before he and
fruit.

sounded and Capt. Williams took the COM
pany out on the beach for instruction in
extended order drill. ten rounds of blank
cartridges being issued 20 each man. The
men drilled very well. considering that il
was the first time that many Of them had
gone through the drill. Corporals Lang
tree. Evans and Phillips were In COM
mand of squads and handled them very
readily and satisfactorily. Altogether the
entire drill was extremely satisfactory. As
soon as drill was over many of the men
went in for their morning dip and although
the tide was very low seemed to enjoy 1t
very much.
Camp Notes.
DR.. Gallagher was called on this morning
to look out for Messrs. Kiser. Lewis and
Suydam. but none of them were seriously
Ill and are now doing well, most Of them
suffering from the effects Of the water.
Prof. Branson managed to slip out of
camp this morning before filling the water
barrels and a guard patrol. under COM
mand of Corporal Perkins. was sent after
him. After about an hours time they re-
turned escortng the professor and he re-
manned In camp until plenty of water was
supplied. Since dinner time watermelon
seems to be the order Of the day, many OF
the men having purchased the fruit near
the hotel.
Afternoon drill has been dispensed with
and bathing will be INDUCED in during the
afternoon.
