Last June two lads residing in the
Annex named Mckenzie and Connors
rowed down the harbor and it was be-
lieved they were drowned. Search was
made, but the missing boys were not
found and their parents were doubtful
of ever hearing from them again. There
were some, however, who were of the
opinion that they had enlisted in the
navy, and now it turns out to be true.
At least an artilleryman who recently
came back from the West Indies has
informed the father of one of the boys,
Mr.. Mckenzie, that he met the boys in
Porto Rico on board one of Uncle Sans
warships. He is sure that he saw young
Mckenzie and Connors, for he knows
them very we'll 1t is probable that
they enlisted under some other names
than their own. Mr.. Mckenzie is going
to write to Porto Rico to ascertain more
definitely in regard to the matter.
