 The marines and sailors of the North Att lantic squadron eight battalions of them, attracted much attention. The marines, with their brass helmets, marched with a peculiar step-nether seamens roll nor landsmea's tread-but a combination. The men of the Brooklyn got perhaps the most applause. The provisional brigade of the army lacked the confident, easy step for which army veterans are noted.
