MARINE

The cruiser fleet which is now locked
in this port will remain here till Sep
TENDER IS, making a total stay of six
teen days, instead of the two weeks
which was promised at first. The SAIL
ors as a rule are very well satisfied with
the treatment which they are getting
from the merchants of the city and
have no complaints to make.
They are an orderly lot for the most
part, though now and then, with the
aid of a little liquor, a few perform
some funny stunts. Two of them Gre
ated a good deal of amusement up
town yesterday, as they wabbled along
the street. One shouted to the other.
20 Lee, o Lee; here comes my auto
mobile" Just then a Chinaman came
past with a wheelbarrow filled with
merchandise and the sailor calmly de-
posted himself on the top of the load.
There was quite a crowd at the corner
of Fort and King streets, where TINS
happened, and it amused many. Both
men were arrested later on for drunk
enness, as they became rather too
loud in their remarks, and were hardly
choice in their language.
The proposition to arrange races Tor
| the members of the cruiser crews was
hailed with great delight on board the
| vessels yesterday, and all those on
hoard hope that it will not disarranga
| any plans of Admiral Dayton to stay
over here till Regatta Day. The native
| crew of boat boys would be only too
| glad TO row. but state that they have
no oars. In case challenge was sent
! thev would probably find these at once
and a fine contest should be seen.
