steward, and five Junior lieutenants
have had a building built for their
special accommodation, and have been
fitted out with sailors clothes from the
navy yard storehouses. Their ward
room is fitted out with hunks and
abundant furniture. DR.. Suarez, who
speaks English little, says that while
there will be a good deal for the doc
tors to do, they all expect to enjoy
themselves in camp.
The civllizing influence of a short
piece of rope is still to be seen at Camp
Long. In olden times the rope was
used to COW starved and ill-treated
prisoners. Today 1t serves a different
purpose. The members of the officers
mess hardly got new clothes before
they began devising amusements, and
jumping rope has become very popu-
lar. Two of the more sedate officers
swing the rope while the others take
turns jumping.
The horrors of war already seem far
away, and the most important things
in the world seem to be the delights
of good living. Admiral Carpenter,
who is in temporary command of the
navy yard, has closed the island to
curious visitors. who are not annoying
when they get long range views from
the New Castle and Kittery shores.
Altogether the camp promises to be so
quiet that Colonel Forney may lay out
new golf links, and perhaps allow
the Spanish officers to learn the game.
