The VIM. P. Frye is one of the finest
| salIIng vessels in the American mer-
chant marine and the time taken in
coming from the Philippines is some
thing extraordinary for her. The other
Sewall line vessel due from the same
port is evidently experiencing like
weather conditions. Contrary to the
sailing dates of these two vessels as
published, the Frye left the Philippines
eight days before the Sewall, the lat
ter going into quarantine for five days
after her reported sailing. This makes
her out So days today.
In other respects the trip of the Frye
was d good one there having been no
sickness nor accidents among her crew.
She brings here 400 tons of coal for the
navy, part of a cargo of 5000 tons
brought from Norfolk, the remainder
having been unloaded at Cavite.
After discharging this at the Navy
wharf No 1, she will load with 5000
tons of sugar for Delaware Break
water.

the change in her sailing plans.

TATTOO TABU.
WASHINGTON. August ENLISTED |
men in the navy have instituted a |
movement to do away with tattoo
marking. which was formerly so popu-
lar with sailors.
Since the conviction of a Brooklyn |
man through the efforts of officers of
the Humane Society for mutilating the /
arms OF young boy by decorating
them in India ink designs tattooers |
have shown unwi1lingness to embellish |
the bodies of men who are not known
to be of age, and as few adults care to |
have their bodies decorated the prac-
tice may soon become a thing of the /
past.
