This was the ninth day of Kip,ing's
ILLNESS. In pneumonia cases the crisis
is usually reached by the seventh or
ninth day, but II may be delayed until
forty-eight hours during which the
physicians hardly left their patients
side. During that time Kiplipg suffer
ed greatly In his conscious moments,
but he was frequently unconscious or
suffering from attending delirium.
The patient began TO breathe more
freely early this morning and after
few hours dropped into a refreshing
sleep, the first in days. and the one cs-
sentini to restore his fast waning
strength. Later the temperature drop
ped rapidly from 1O4 to 90. which is
about normal. This Is the ordinary
course Of the disease.
That the crisis had passed was quick
ly known throughout the hotel. DR.
Dunhan came down stairs at 8 n. m
and he hardly had to tell the glad
news. In response to inquiries, how
ever. he said: Il am well pleased with
Mr.. kipllng's condition. He is now
resting quietly"

Of our navy are made. A large ves-
sci carries forty American flags, and
a smaller vessel almost as many. This
does not include the feet and interna-

There are three rooms In the equip-

the others at either end are much
smaller. The flags are all made by
women, though a few men help to
cut out the stars and do the finishing.
The wind and weather destroy flags
SO fast, and new vessels are put into
commission SO rapidly that it is nec-
sary to employ a number of people
even in time Of peace.
The working hours during the pres

in the morning to 5 O'Clock in the
evening. In one week 1900 fiags were

prawl.x water Under Fire.

The following breezy anecdote OF
the Santiago campaign Is sent by a
Rough Rider. He was wounded in
the blockhouse fight, but lives to tell
his story.
A fruitful source OF suffering, and
one OF the principal causes of the dis
ease which later assaulted our ranks,
was the lack OF good drinking water.
During the lurid first of July the San
Juan river. rolled and muddled by con-
stant fording, furnished our only
means of liquid refreshment; and in
deed 1t continued to be our chief
source of supply throughout those
weary days spent in the trenches, be-
fore the surrender of the city.
On the night of the first, under cover
of darkness, Spanish sharpshooters
took up commanding positions in trees
near all the principal fords. and made
the task Of filling canteens extremely
dangerous.
However, we of the Rough Riders
discovered a well near the blockhouse
on the hill we had taken and were
holding, and from It we drew our sup
ply OF water during the days we re-
manned In this position. The location
of the well was an exposed one, and
was commanded by the fire of the
sbarpshooters posted well within the
Spanish lines. where It was difficult to
dislodge them.
Already several men had been hit
while drawing water. 30 that when, on
the morning OF the third, was order

My companion was big, burly fell

along under cover Of the hill until
we had come to point opposite the
well, when my comrade stopped me for

we both started, crawling forward on

and where we thought the Spaniards
were posted. BY going slowly and
