Standing-E. Gullage, H. R. Makes,

The above photograph was sent The
Times from Bremerton Navy Yard, on
Puget sound, by one Of these in the
group. He explains that when the Chi
cago visited Santa Barbara the firemen
OF the trusty ship formed q boat crew
that had all the earmarks of being the
real thing. The firemen swelled out
their chests and did so many fancy
stunts in the aquatic speed line that
the petty officers of the engineers de
partment of the shop became weary,
and formed a crew for the special pur-
pose of taking the wind out of the sails
of the BLACK watch" There was much
excitement aboard, and every man made
wager. The course was two miles
straight away, and the firemen won by
six lengths. IN. The splendid time of y
minutes IS seconds, incidentally cleaning
up nearly all the ready money on that
section of the high seas. Most of the
victors are known in Washington. and
as they wanted their prOwess to get the
greatest NpOssible circulation here, they
naturally sent an account of their brave
deeds TO The Times, thereby showing
they are POSSESSED OF that rare com
bination of Drawn ard brains. The
Times is always glad to receive and
publish such pictures and stories.
