The picture shows Captain Dewey upon
the bridge of the Pensacola as she then

here that the commissioned officers have
their quarters. Much of this covered
space is also utilized for other purposes.
On the top of this roof affair. which
makes the Pensacola look like Noahs

it ascend the mast and riggings, and 1t
is here that the apprentices are drilled in

every morning. For this purpose are ar

After they have enlisted they are as

show them how to care for their clothing

plicant to become petty officer before
his term of service is up.
One Of the most striking facts connected
with the teaching of these apprentices on
the Pensacola TO become sailors is the
kindness of the instructors. Captain Glass
has issued an order whereby the officers
are required to be gentle and firm, to en-

and never TO forget that while they are
officers they are also instructors. No haz-
