pushed off from the ship at o'clock,
which at that time of the year, NO
vember, was about an hour before day
light, and it took me about twenty
minutes to pull into the dock. The
contractors market was on Fulton
street, about two blocks up from the
slip of the Fulton Ferry, and l had to
land at the dock just around the slip.
1t was quite dark when had to land,
for electric lights were unknown at
that time. The ferry landing was well
lighted, but that was few rods away
and at that time in the morning there
were thousands of people going and COM
ing to their days work, and | knew of no
way to prevent the men from landing
and making their escape by mingling
with the crowd if they were so minded.
True, l could have placed them under
the surveillance of the police, but it
was very uncertain as to whether a
policeman could be found at moments
notice. All this ran through my head
while being pulled into the dock, and l
finally came to the conclusion that
would put on bold front and make the
men think that their desertion was the
last thing l had thought about and to
appear as though 1 had perfect conf
dence in them and treat them as
would like to have been treated had
been in their place.
therefore pulled boldly into the land
ing, selected one man whom | thought
might be their leader to take the mar
ket basket on shore for the meat and
vegetables for the officers messes, and

the same time l ordered the coxswain
of the cutter to push out from the dock
and have the men lay on their oars I'M
til my return; and L did not leave the
dock until my orders had been obeyed,
which | may add was done quickly.
Then | made long strides up the dock
to the contractors. Meeting a police
man on his beat near by | requested
him to keep an eye on my boat. L
made all dispatch in doing my business
with the contractor and telling him
where to deliver the goods hurried
back to the boat, not knowing that
should find either boat or crew when

had no way Of preventing it If they
took a notion to do SO in my absence.
Later, when we became better &C
quainted, Pat Larin, the Coxswain of
the End cutter, and also the captain of
the forecastle-one of the best sailors
in the ship-told me that they had all
made their plans to desert that morn
ing. They knew they were to go on
shore for meat at O'Clock in the morn
ing, which would be before light. Most
of them had two months advance pay
with them and they all had put on two
suits of clothes. They had each drawn
REFER from the purser the day before,
and as the morning was cold they had
their REFERS on. Pat said that when
we showed off from the ship that morn
ing he thought it was for the last time. l
asked him why they did not 60. His
answer was simply this: "You placed
so rauch confidence in US by your &C
lions we could not 60 back on you, and
during the few minutes that you were
absent we talked the matter over and
concluded that we we're going to sea in
some ship any way. We then had
good little ship and one officer that
showed by his conduct toward us that
we are men, and would treat us well; and
why not stand by?" And they did stand
by and they were as faithful to me as
it was possible for men to be. This
action gave me the entire ships COM
pany, solid, and as l intended to per-
form my duties in every particular to
the best of my ability l was fast gain
ing the good graces of the captain and
the executive officer, under whose eye
was during most of the time. In my
next chapter l will tell you how well
| succeeded.
This brings me to the matter of grog
in the Navy. l have said that most of
these good sailors told me that the
reason that they left the British Navy
and came to ours was because we
served two tots: day in our Navy
while in the English Navy they served
but one Early in 1862, while we were
trying with all our might to build up
Navy, and needed all the men we
could get from everywhere, the silly
sentimentalists, led by Senator John P.
Hale of New Hampshire, whom the old
sailors called "Cold Water jack" had
the grog ration stopped in the Navy,
and this order, coming at the time it
did, was worse for the Navy than any
possible defeat that we could have had
at the hands of the enemy.
By that act alone the Navy lost from
ten to twenty thousand seamen. The
sailors who were then serving were
nearly all one year men. Indeed, in
the first of the war they all shipped for
that term and do not remember that
we had in any of the ships to which L
was attached any but one year men;
and they simply would not re-enlist
after the adjustment of the grog
ration. The sailors at that time were
so constituted that their grog was next
to their hearts blood; and if on the
other hand the government had passed
law giving them three tots per day,

Notes From Washington

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Whatever is the ultimate out
come in Cuba there is no ques-
tion that Judge Magoon has on
his hands one Of the most diff
cult jobs that has ever fallen to
the lot of an American official.
Official advices from Cuba indi-
cate that everything is going

question OF few months before
the new elections will be held,
and the reorganized government
put on it's feet and everything
run just as it would be run in
this country after a Presidential
election had been held.

an official standpoint and is
nice diplomatic way OF stating
the case. However a great many

island, tits doubtful if the Cuban
