Along the shore TO the south Of Manila
faint glImpses of the villages Of Las
Pinas. Paranaque, where we landed more
than a year before; Bacoor, Cavite and
Wei could be seen through the tropical
foliage.
Near by was Cavite, in her trimming Of
white. the most conspicuous structure be-
ing that of the old arsenal, which suffered
so from the guns of Uncle SamuePs sea
dogs on that memorable May day, and
near the shore around the town and Sang
ley Point the station Of the Spanish fleet
that essayed to do battle with the fleet
of Dewey, protruded from the blue water
of the bay a reminder of the awful fate
that befeu so many hundred of the haugh
ty dons. Rocky emeragd-crested Corregt-
dor was passed at about 8 o'clock. and
soon we were out upon the rolling China
sea, which was unusually rough.
A HEAVY SEA.
The following afternoon. Aug. 49, the
anniversary of the fall of Manila. the
hind and we We're steaming along small
rocky isIets which dotted the sea on eth
er side of the boat.
Smooth sea and fine weather was the
order until the morning of the 10Th. as we
neared Nagasaki, when a heavy sea
struck US. and under a strong wind. the
boat rolled and pitched, and the first men
TO become sea sick made their way to
the ratings. It was about 1:S0 p. m. when
the Sheridan steamed into the narrow
mouth of the harbor Of NagaSaki and
anchored q haif-mile from shore. Scores
of sampans were bobbIQg up and down
alongside the Sheridan ere permission
was granted at o'clock to men to go
ashore. Not many minutes elapsed be-
fore the jinrlksha men were doing
rushing business, and blue coats, and
brown coats, too, for the South Dakota
men wore. khaki uniforms, were to be
seen all over Nagasak.
Nagasaki is a pretty place to look at
from the bay, snugly hugging the spfen-
did harbor, with tall bluffs, almost noun
tains, towering up above 1t on all sides.
1t has a pretty park upon the bluffs over
looking the city and the harbor, and It's
temples are many and wonderfully odd.
There were many interesting sights about
the city and the men visited them all,
saw everything that was to be seen, and
came away with good opinion of the
Japanese people, especially the women,
whom they voted as very pretty, be-
witcl2ing little ladies.
VISITOR FROM SHANGHAI
Consul John Goodnow came in on the
City of Rio Janeiro from Shanghai Aug
II to see his regiment, as he expressed it.
and spent the time, up to his departure
the following day, in renewing old ac-
quaintances.
Three days were spent in Nagasaki to
allow for coaling the Sheridan, which was
done in the most primitive manner by
men, women and children, who passed
baskets OF coal from one to another into
the ship from bargas
Before arriving at Nagasakt the men Of
the two regiments were informed that any
one desiring to go overland by rail to Yo-
kohama might do Sc. A number of officers
and men took advantage Of the oppor,
tunity and were repaid by a very pleasant
trip, stopping at the more important
points and places of interest Those
who remained aboard ship have no occa-
sion to regret not having taken the
overland trip, for the course was through
the inland sea of Japan, than which
there is no finer scenery in that part of
the globe.
Leaving 4NdSdSdhl DIT 4.tU o CLOCK on the
afternoon Of Aug. 10, the straights were
passed before daybreak the following
morning. It was with a sense of re-
gret when, at last on the evening of
Aug. q, the panorama passed from view
like a dream.
Passing out into the Pacific again, "a
the stars began to twinkle, the good
ship Sheridan plowed the briny deep for
a few hours and then came to rest in
the outer harbor of Yokohama at about
o'clock on the morning Of Aug. %.
Pleasant was the surprise that was
in store for the men when they got
ashore. Cards with the following an
nouncement printed in neat American
style were handed to each man when
the steamer was yet in the outer harbori
