WHAT SAILORS CALL
DEATHS AFTERMATH"
They Claim That Strange Odor Clings
to Battlefields Where Many
Men Are Slain

One of the jackies of the battleship
Massa chusetts, speaking of the acci-
dent on board his ship, was heard to
ask visitor If he noticed pronounced
odor Of powder. The visitor answered
that he did, and wondered mildly why
there should be an odor of powder
when the accident had been caused by
an explosion of steam only.
That's one of the things which can
not be accounted for replied the
sailor, "but it's what we all call
deaths aftermath Have YOU ever
heard Of the persistency with which
the odor of powder clings TO a battle
field after an encounter with the en-
emy?
clings to the field of strife in proper
impossible to account for 1t, but those
great many killed in the battle the
smell of powder clings to the spot for
days after, while if only a few are
killed 1t soon disappears. It's the same
when death is the result Of any kind Of
an explosion. But II must be an ex-
plosion.
THE fact that the odor clings to a
battlefield can be easily accounted for,
but why IT should be present when a
foreign agent has caused the explosion
no one can account for. We won't
get rid of this smell until we get out to
sea Amt ii funny?" concluded the
tar

mitted that 1t was.-Exchange.

Gives Port a Surprise.

Gives Port Surprise.
The new British steamship Camosun,
bound from Troon, Ireland, to Van
couver, B. c.. unexpectedly put in an
appearance in port late yesterday aft
ernoon. She crossed the bar at full
speed and did not come to an an
chorage until she landed UP midway
between Alcatraz Island and Yerba
Buena Island. having passed the quar-
antine line as though 1t had never ex-
listed. The quarantine boat, the GUS
toms boat Golden Gate and launches
from every boathouse dashed out into
the bay to board the stranger and as
certain what brought her here Visions
OF mutiny, lack Of provisions, lack of
water and similar suggestions were
passed along the line on the water
front.
Captain C. J. Smith, her commander,
explained that he had been longer on
the run than he expected, and thought
as this was the maiden trip of the ves-
sci she might need some repairs, and
possibly she might need to be dry
docked. He thought the work could
be better attended to here than up
north. This was the reason he gave
for coming to port.
The Camosun was launched in Feb
ruary of this year. She was built at
Glasgow. Scotland, for the Union
Steamship Company of Vancouver, B.
c., and is intended to run between
that port and Skagway. She has ac-
commodations for $50 passengers and
400 tons of freight. She is comfortably
arranged and is a valuable acquisition
to the coast fleet. She is 793 tons reg
ister. On her trial trip she made 13h
knots. She was "a days from Troon, "a
days from Dublin, SO days from Sand
Point and % days from Coronel. She
