THEBANbROFq'S VOYAGE

BosphoPus.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 1S9e-Fornal
sailing orders to the Bancroft have been
issued by the Navy Department directing
Commander Charles Belknap, her COM
manding officer, TO leave. New. York, on
Saturday and after taking explosives at
Tompkinsvilie, TO proceed to Gibraltar
and report by telegraph to Admiral Self
ridge, commanding the European station
for further orders. The department has
been officially informed that the vessel

ders.
This is the second formal step in car
rying out the Presidents determination to
have an American National vessel on
guard in the Golden Horn to support the.
American Minister and in emergencies to
serve as q refuge for American citizens
at Constantinople. 1t is stated that Com
mander Belknap has no specific orders
as to whether he shall stop en- route for
coal at the Azores but at any rate the
Bancroft should reach Gibraltar in less
than three weeks.

The Bancroft carries over 200 tons and
should easily cover the 3,202 miles from
New York to Gibraltar at the rate of 8
knots an hour, which would take just
fifteen days. If her commander decides
to stop at Faval, 2,09S miles from
New York, she can be speeded up
TO ten knots and reach there
in eight days. A three days stop there
for coal and four days steaning at u
knots over the remaining 1,2o0 miles
would fetch her to G3braItar Septemher
2f, the same date as if she had sailed
straight-away. The stop at Fayal would,
however, be safer, and if the weather
should be extremely fair. as it usually
is at this season, she will be heard from
at the Azores within ten days after leav-
ing Sandy Hook.
Admiral Selfridge, in accordance with
Instructions from. Washington. will have
the Bancroft ready to enter the Bospho-
rus about the middle of October, and con-
fidence is expressed that Minister Terrell
by that time will have secured the desired
permission from the Sultan for the shin
to pass the Dardanelles.

by a high wind and a score of monster

rolling and vouehing for the names of
nine men in the Second precinct. After
being duly sworn, Winfield Dunn, a prom

he asked

Certainly replied the Captain haugh-
tily.
Then issued series of accusations.
Dunn said that Rose had heavy collar
answered that Dunn had never been free
from a heavy collar and chain. The

It will be remembered that Captain Rose

cused of downing the ticket which was con-
