CRUISER GEIER
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
German cruiser Geier Commander Peters.
steamed out of the harbor and started on
her voyage to Chinese waters, where she
will join the German squadron and very
possibly see active service. She sailed

day the noble little craft will return to
these waters with the smile of victory en-
robling the sun-burned countenances of
her gallant crew.
