compose it have reached high standard
of efficiency. With equal fortitude they
have borne the two extremes of climate
presented by the torrid region Of the
Mexican trail and the last refuge of Sit
ting Bull on the confines of Canada.
A peculiar feature of the composition
of the Ninth cavalry is the fact that it
was originally recruited of ex-slaves Of
almost pure African blood, and today
nearly every trooper is as black as
ebony. This characteristic does not
seem to have followed the other negro
regiments in the service recruited at
about the same time, for they contain
many mulattoes.
Another feature which gives the
Ninth distinction is that it was the first
of the colored organizations to receive
its baptism of fire. 1t had been predicted
that the negro would not stand in battle
like his white brother. The behavior of
the Ninth dispelled this idea and gave
the colored soldier the standing he de-
serves.
Six months after the Ninth's enlist
ment it fought its first battle. That was
in the spring of 1867 at Fort Lancas-
ter, small post out on the Texas
plains. The thousands of Indians who
surrounded the fort made sport of the
black troops. The day they met them
in battle their opinion changed. The
negroes fought like demons. They obey
ed their white officers perfectly and
were more ready to fight than to eat.
The result was revelation to those
who had ridiculed the negro as c SOL
dier.
From that day it has been one long
fight with the Ninth. Its deeds of dar.
ing wo1ld fill volumes, and though its
ranks have almost wholly changed since
the first enlistment the command has
always managed to get the best fight
ers. The Ninth remained on the Mex
lean border until 1876, seeing all the
horrors of Indian wars. Then it was
moved into New Mexico with head
quarters at Santa Fe, Here it continued
10 see hot service until 1881, when it
went farther north, with headquarters
at Fort Riley, Kan, and later at Fort
Mckinney, Wy, in 1855,

enth cavalry. The troopers kept their
horses on the run for 20 hours and
reached the agency, distance Of 100
miles, in that time. Without getting
out of their saddles or stopping for food
they rushed off Ii miles to the rescue
of the Seventh, which was threatened
with total extinction at the battle of
the Mission. If the Fighting Ninth"
had been an hour later, Clusters old regi-
ment might have suffered the same fate
as he and his men did at the Little Big
Horn. The Ninth unlimbered for action
on the run and faced the Indians after
that terrible ride without slackening
speed for moment. The Indians rec.
ognized the regiment as it came over
the hill north of the Mission buildings
and scampered off in a hurry,

1t is the man with the slate and pen.
Gil who works the destruction of the
modern armada. To be more precise,
fighting with big guns is now an exact
science. In the old days the gunners Of
the great smoothbores guessed and then
pulled the lanyard. Now they figure
and press the button.
They did good execution, those old
gunpers, on occasion, but it was at short
range. With an enemy five miles off
they waited. Even at three miles it was
little more than a waste of powder. To.
day the monster coast defense guns be-
gin to bark when hostile feet is still
10 miles out at sea. They are likely to
bite at that distance too.

guns stake little on guesswork; they

The frequency of divine services de-

what on the chaplain. The latter may
suggest, but the former must give the or.

time for holding services aboard. 1t is the
general custom to hold morning prayer
each day.
A more elaborate service always takes
place on the first Sunday of the month,
