strumental in bringing Alex into
companionship with Harold, who
is another young gentleman with
whom we have a most agreeable

that they will become fast friends
and be mutually advantageous to
each other in the coming years.

Among the Crew Of the Nicksburg.-
Clipping From the Newport News
of August go.

United States Sunboat Vicksburg,
Commander A. B. H. Lille, arrived
in port this morning, five days from
Key West, and anchored off the
Training Station.
This vessel has already slight ac-
quaintance with Newport, having
been here last autumn for the purpose
of taking draft of apprentices on
board.
The Vicksburg is fresh from the
war, having been under fire of Hav-
ana's batteries only ten days ago., on
the very day in fact that peace pre-
liminaries were settled. If faithful
endurance be any index, then this
vessel has an uneXcelled record, as
for more than 80 days out of the 113
of the war she kept watch before
Havana, varied only by the search
for Cerveras fleet and by chasing
blockade runners off the Cuban coast,
during which period she captured
three prizes unaided and participated
in two others.
The Vicksburg is not without some
scars. Five times she got within
range of the heavy guns of Havana
and had to haul off from the enemy's
shell, until it got to be an old story
Though not more pleasing in the re-
petition) and the officers got to tax
ing out their watches and counting
the seconds elapsing before the shell
struck. 1t was nervous work, will
no compensations, for the 4.incl
rified guns of the ship were not abl'
to reach the forts. In one of thes,
engagements, when attempting t.
cut out schooner, shell from tn,
enemy exploded in her rigging, cut
ting wire ropes and signal halliard
and scattering dust about the decks
but fortunately no one was injured
: The Vicksburg will probably re
main in port for some weeks, to ref
and to recuperate the crew, of whom
some have not had full nights res
|, for four months. The vessel is

boat of one thousand tons, has
speed of eleven knots and is able to
keep the sea for forty days. She is
sister ship of the Newport.
Following is list of her officers:
Captain, Commander A. B. H H.Lillie;
executive officer, Lieutenant James
G. Cresap navigator, Lieutenant
Jphn B. Blish; watch officers, En-
sign G. r. MARVEL, F. P. Baldwin, G.
B. Barnes and J. r.. Harrell; en-
gineer officer, Passed Assistant En-
gineer G. B. Price; medical officer,
Assistant Surgeon M. X. Johnson ;
paymaster, Assistant Paymdster r..
G .Schenck. Two other officers came
north as passengers. They are
Lieutenant Commander w. w.
Kimball, who commands the torpedo
boat flot1lla, and Lieutenant Com
mander H. Winslow, recently in
valided from command of the Fern.
The Vicksburg did not look much
like her old trim yachting self as she
slowly steamed in and picked up one
of the Training Station buoys. Her
topmasts and yards were housed,
! and that ugly looking "war," paint
covered everything but the big
American flag which foated from
her mizzen peak and was gracefully
dipped as passing yachts and steam
ers saluted this, the first fighter
home from the war. The Vicksbure
was anchored last night off Block
Island.
Two drafts of rs boys each are be
ing made up at the Training Station
one for the Vicksburg and the othe
for the Annapolis, which is expected
here soon.
