Edwards then opened the door and

Big Mussels.

Some very fine specimens OF mus.
sells we're brought to this city from
Mendocino City by Purser w. H
Paddock, of the steamer Point Arena,
which came into port during the
morning. He brought q sack of them
down for Ned Short, the wharfnger
on the dock, but that individual had

Any single one of the mussels would
make fair meal by itself. The hi.
valves ranged in size from five to eight
inches in length, were from an inch
and half to two and a half inches
wide. and from an inch to two inches
in thickness. They are monster mus
sells. The meat is not as coarse as
would naturally be expected and the
mussel flavor is all there.
These bivslves grow on the rocks all
along the coast. At Mendocino City,
where the specimens drawn in the cut
we're taken at low tide, the mussels
grow very fast. They are dislodged
from their holdings on the rocks by
means of sharp spade. Cossting

doing the work Of the blue jackets and
those in the first class acting rs Off
GERS, under the guidance and super
vision of the regular officers. They
learn to tie knots, Chamber up the rig
ging, loose and furl sails, heave the
lead, and, in fact, to perform all the
many duties of a sailor. The open sea
air and plenty of exercise make them
strong and healthy, and, in spite of
the fact that their hsmmocks are hung
rs close as can be done on n poorly
ventilated deck, and the food is often
not particularly enticing, they come
back from the cruise glowing with
health and bronzed by SUN and sea.
The amusements aboard ship are few
for cadets on practice cruise. Smok-
ing and card playing are crimes in the
eyes of the regulations, yet a little
danger only adds zest to the enjoy
ment, and wherever they can escape
the vigilant eyes of the officers and
cadet officers groups of cadets enjoy a
few puffs or n game of cards. On one
cruise several cadets made a practice
of wearing shirts and hats exactly like
the blue jackets when the evening
shades came on, and smoking a clay
pipe such rs the sailors of every ns-
tionality use. With their hats we'll
pulled down over their eyes, there was
little danger of detection. On one oc-
cssion cadet was thus enjoying the
stolen sweets of his evening smoke
when the officer of the deck came up
suddenly, and taking him to be blue
jacket, ordered him to attend to 3 very
disagreeable duty, that cadet would
not be expected to do. To refuse was
to be detected and ''spotted," which
would give him enough demerits to
restrict him from going ashore, so he
swallowed his pride and did rs he was
ordered, considering that he had paid
dearly for mis- smoke that time.
Target practice, boat drills, and
even landing parties for drill fill up
the time in port and give the cadets a
preliminary practice in their future
duties aboard ship. When they be.
come officers and look back upon the
days when they pulled at ropes and
rowed an oar they may appreciate
what the enlisted man under them
have to do--for it is maxim of a
cadets training that she is not able to
command until he is first able to do
the same thing himself" Upon this
maxim his education is founded.

where the regulation clothing is kept
neatly put away and ever ready for in

leave through that gate after an un-

the gate seems like view of lost para
disc and the sentry seems a bar be-
tween them and their ioudest hopes.
To the others-those who pass the en-
trance examinations with flying colors,
the same sentry seems like a prison

discipline, daily, hourly discipline, is
hard TO learn, and the course of daily
study and drill seems long to look for
ward to; but once through success
fully, the reward is reached and the
Government gives the successful cadet
n commission that is certainly most
honorable, and reasonably sure for
life. Once passed, he takes the "iron
bound" oath of allegiance from an old
justice of the peace in Annapolis,
whose Office is in the building that
