it seems, when they are away from

The transport is painted white. but
the ship sharps hereabouts knew her oE

knows where for.
one of the Southern Railway folks at
Pier No 4, where the Rawlins lay last
night said cautiously this morning over
the telephone that ne could rot say accu-
rately where the Rawlins Went.
The piping voice of q messenger-hoy,
probably who was bristling with infor-

he interrupted the gentleman who was
