RLAME sOMEMHERE-

1t is safe to say that all who read the
graphic account of the danger to which
the three companies of the Thirty-first
Infantry, under command of Lieut. Webb
Hayes were exposed and the sufferings
they endured for twelve days on the trans
port Manauense on the voyage to Manila
feel that somebody is TO blame for the al
legged unseaworthy condition of the ship.
The officials who inspected the ship and
the parties who sold her to the government
say that she was all right when she left
San Francisco. 1t is to be expected. how
ever. that they will insist that she was
staunch and in every respect prepared for
the service for which she was purchased
and fitted up, but the evidence seems to
be strong that she was an old hulk that
had cost but S45,0O0 and had been folsted
on the government for S15O,000 If she was
such fine ship why was It that portion
of her crew deserted her at Honolulu for
the alleged reason that she was unsea-
worthy? And why was II that as soon as
she got into storm her engines gave out
and she began to leak?
We do not know Of course that all that
has been said by the brave soldiers who
battled for twelve days to keep the ship
aloat respecting her machinery and hull
is true, but it is undoubtedly true that the
story of their sufferings and Of their heroic
conduct in the face of death, working in
great part Of the time in absolute dark
ness, is true.
1t Is the duty of the government to
make most searching investiga ion of the
condition of the ship, and if it be found
that there was negligence in inspecting
her or criminal conduct on the part Of the
agents of the government who purchased
her, no mercy should be shown the guilty
| parties. No punishment would be too
great for men who deliberately sent SOL
diers, going TO a distant land in defense
of their country's flag, to sea in an unsea-
worthy ship.

You know" she said Il had step
father, and he liked to see me working
about the house instead of playing with a
kitten, so he ordered me to throw it in the
brook which ran through our meadow.
Il was forced to do it, though l cried a
