The Japanese warship Naniwa

Have q Drink.
"Have a drink ?" is what Van
Doom, the jolly storekeeper in
lower Fort street, has been asking
his friends today. Van has an
enviable reputation on account of
his fine fruit favors, which he
puts up himself. When the boys
on the waterfront are thirsty, they
walk into Van Doorn's, where
fresh, cool soda is served them. A
first class soda fountain of the
"Arctic" make now occupies the
place of the old one in the little
shop. 1t was imported all the way
from Boston, the city of beans,
brown bread, and tea parties. Van
wishes all the fellows to test his
new fountain, so he is furnishing
free drinks today.

one and half inch hole, from the
inside, through the planking be-
tween the timbers. Although the
wood was bored clear through,
only the worm or small part of
the auger had gone through the
copper. The amount of water
which leaked through was, there
fore, comparatively small, but if it
had not been discovered at the
time it was, a great deal of dam
age would have been done to the
cargo. Ii the ship had gone to
sea in that condition serious con-
sequences would undoubtedly
have occurred.
After locating the leak, Captain
Co!y and his carpenter drove a
long wooden plug into the hole
from the inside, which stopped
the water. At six o'clock on Mon
day morning, John Iaukea the
diver went under the ship, which
was done with difficulty on ac-
