transmitted 20 the superintendent of the

afternoon session the court took up the
case OF Midshipman John p. Miller of

OF Judge Advocate Harrison decided that

where he may have landed. The last

presence was marked only by the
prints of feet as he struck for the first
and last time on the LEDGE
1t is evident that Tupper bounded
from this ledge over precipice of 700
feet to bench almost at the floor Of
the valley, where the boulders are SO
large that 1t seems impossible for any
human being to cross.
Tomorrow some one will be lowered

the bottom will be made. 1t is be-
lieved the body is lying In some rock

He is highly commended for his 'dar-
