 While attempting to steal through the lines to join his company he was captured by the plckets and thrown into the guard house. The next day he was tried before I court martial. He candidly admitted to the board that he left because he wanted to see his mother. During the investigation, General Wheeler, with his well kuoa restlessness, continued to pace about the room, his hands locked behind his back, closely scruiiniz:ng the young soldier from all points. The accused never knew the findings of the board, but early the next day he was brought before General Wheeler, at the time busily engaged with the de- tails of the movement of his force, and given written furlough, grant ing him fifteen days in which to find his regiment. The old general knew that fourteen days and half of that time would be spent by that boy, in not hunting his command, but with his mother Jerome Reporter

THE TERN SEALED ORDERS

The custom Of having warships
sail under sealed orders has
arisen from the desire of maratIme
powers toprevent their plans from
becoming known 10 the enemy.
In the American navy such or
.ders come from the president, and
are delivered 10 the commander Of
a ship or squadron by a conadeutial
messenger, who knows nothing Of
their contents.
Sometimes they are in cipher,
but they are always sealed With
the Official seal Of the navy DEPART
meat, and the package cannot be
opened until the time marked on IT,,
which is usually several hours after
the hour Of leaving port.
By this precaution the neWspa-
pers are prevented from disclosing,
prematurelv, movements which
NAV be Of the greatest Importance,
and the spies Of the enemy are rem
dered useless so far as their ability
10 discover the secret Of such move
ments concerned.
Sailing under sealed orders is
now the common naval practice In
time Of war. These instructions
are found 10 the packet Of sealed
orders, which is opened when vel.
