aboard, should meet each troop ship
outside.

the exigencies OF the occasion the
ships would stay here only long
enough to coal. He doubted if the
men could go farther away from the
vessel than the wharf. In that event
provision should be made to let the
men enjoy a fresh water bath GOO
showers on the wharf) and to have
their clothes washed ashore.

tors could pay for nothing while in
