From the Chicago Chronicle.
"If the old naval officers who framed
the department rules were ever to hear
OF the use to which a certain section
OF them was put some time ago | am
afraid that their wraiths would for all
time haunt one young man who now
holds a lieutenant's commission. rms
was the way in which Lieutenant W.
j. Wilson, i'm charge Of the govern
ment photographic office, began a story
the other day while seated among a
number of naval reserves who had just
returned from the war.
THE officers name was Cleary," con-
tinued Lieutenant Wilson. THE con-
fesslon OF his ~perversion of the rules
came out during the examinations for
entrance to the navy which were held
in Washington early In the war. Cleary
was an Annapolis a who. ape his
graduation. drew a cadetship aboard
one of the small unprotected cruisers.
He served for a time, but the duh life
of those piping times of peace and the
smallness OF the pay drove him TO re-
sign from the service and TO accept a
position as first mate on an ore carrier
on the lakes. For a time he was salts
fed. but the beginning OF the war. with
its call for men, saw Cleary In Wash
ington on the still hun for a commits
sion. He was told that he would have
to stand an examination, but this was
no bugbear to him. for IL there ever
was a man at the academy who was
strong on the mental tests II was this
same Cleary.
THE old retired officers who were
giving the mental tests fired question
after question at Cleary. but he an
swered them as promptly and as accu-
rately as II he had Just come from a
he would do IL he were the master of n
ship and the cry Of man overheard
were to be given. Cleary told them
Just what he would do. and II anything
the answer was better than the one
given in the manual. This led N OF
the examiners TO say Why. Mr.. Cleary,
that In really very good! What III OF
service have you been in that you
have such opportunities for using these
rules for navigation
And Clesry replied: Well. I always
did like that section OF the rules when
I was studying In the academy and
some way or other II clung to me. one
day last summer. during one of the
hottest days I ever saw. the freighter
on which I was serving was on Lake
Superior. Suddenly there came a cry
OF man overheard" and looking over
the rail I saw that our last keg OF beer
had accidentally gone INTO the lake.
Gentlemen. that last key OF beer was
Of more value To us han some OF the
lives on board and we had TO save IT,
