Baltimore, Nd, Jan. S.-The new rev.
enue cutter Mcculloch, which has spent
two weeks in the harbor of Baltimore,
starts today upon her journey around
the world on her way to San Francis
co. where she will report for duty for

be the most interesting and novel ever

will be taken on board From there she
Will sail Wednesday for Funchal, Ma
deira: Gibraltar, Malta, Port Said,
thence through the Suez Canal to Alden,
the Red Sea and Indian Ocean; thence
to Colombo, Ceylon, Singapore, Yoko-
hama and Honolulu. She is expected
TO reach the end of her journey, at San
Francisco, about the middle of May.
The officers on the McCulloch have
before them cruise that has never yet
been the luck of any to make on one

ciate the selection made of them for
the duty and are looking forward to
cruise which will be beneficial in a
thousand ways to them in their profess
