cover and his condition was so much
improved that on the afternoon OF his
death he was TO have been taken on
deck to enjoy a social evening with those
aboard ship. When the nurse returned
to Cadet Steinhagen's quarters he found
him reclining ou the bed, as though rest
ing. Returning again in few minutes to
medicine, he found the patient
in the same position. and on investiga-
tion, it was discovered to be death. A
weak heart and the lever had proved
fatal. A cablegram was received here the
same night with the sad intelligence for
the wife OF but six months, who was ex-
tremely i'll at the time.
