MISSOURI SAILORS TIMID.

Storm BuRets Their Ship.

Storm BuRets Their Ship.
The Navy Department has 10 appre-
hension over the fate Of the training
ship Huntress. which has been turned
over 10 the naval militia of Missouri.
II has been reported that the vessel
might have met with disaster on her
way from Pensacola TO New Orleans.
The facts OF the case are that when the
Secretary of the Navy decided TO turn
the ship over 10 the Missouri sailors he
intended that the naval militia should
take her from League Island TO st. Louis.
The militia authorities. whose experience
in Navigation was confined chiefly q
sidewheelers on the Mississippi feared to
undertake the sea Journey from Philadel-
phia to ST. Louis II was then agreed
that she should be conveyed by a naval
vessel 10 Charleston, and there turned
over 20 the MissOurians
This proposition was about To be ac-
cepted when the St Louis sailors learned
that there was Gulf Stream which they
would likely encounter. and again they
pleaded with the Navy Department to
take the vessel a little nearer 70 the
Mississippi. Finally, it was decided 20
send her as far as Pensacola. where she
was turned over TO the State authorities.
She left there on Monday, but when a
storm was encountered IN the Gulf. the
frightened sailors Of Missouri put back
20 Pensacola and remained until the
storm was over. Wednesday morning
they again started for New Orleans, and
it is expected that she will reach there
to-day The Missourians think they viii
be able 70 steer her up the Mississippi
without running into a mud bank.

one Of the oldest nuts In the world is
the candle nut, which grows IN the Pa

the fact that the kernel is so full OF oil
