For some days after that l was in q

positive information that Agatha Fifth

assured me that the prettiest spot for
our luncheon was little island in the
center of the stream where the current
ran broad and deep, about three miles
below the castle.
The day was fair, the girl was fairer,
and the moments were full of Joy to
me. We had crossed a little bridge
about a mile from the castle and were
proceeding up the left bank of the
river when a sudden turn of the stream

CRUISERS TO TOW
TORPEDO BOATS

The armored cruisers Tennessee.
Washington and California will sail at
l. o'clock today for San Diego, each
with torpedo boat destroyer in tow
The mosquito ships that will be- towed
are the Perry, Preble and Farragut.
The cruise has been undertaken as a
towing test and by the time the cruis-
ers and their tows return, in about 10
days, 1t Is thought that the problem of
rendering the mosquito feet independ-
ent of coaling stations will have been
solved. The ships will remain at San
Diego about two days and will then
return and prepare. for the longer
cruise In which the eight cruisers will
take part, each with a destroyer tag
ging on behind.
Different methods OF towing will be
tried during the short cruise. The tor
pedo boat destroyers will also be
turned adrfft In daylight and dark to
afford practice to the crews of cruisers
and ,destroyers in the sometimes diff
cult task of recovering lost tow. The
South Dakota was to have taken part
in this cruise, but trouble with its high

FIRM EXPLAINS DELAY
IN BUILDING SEWERS
Oscar Heyman 6 Brother In
form Mayor Taylor They
Await Change in Grade

Oscar Heyman & Brother, real estate
dealers, against whom complaint was
made to Mayor Taylor that they had
failed to live up to their contracts and
build q sewer in Gladys and Santa Ma
rina streets, replied to the charge yes
terday, stating their side of the con-
troversy.
The complaint was made by Mrs. A.
NJ McAulay and others who had bought
lots from the firm on the understanding
that sewer would be put in within
three months at cost of $50 q lot. If
they failed to do so the real estate men
agreed to refund the money paid for
the land. The purchasers stated that
firm was willing to refund the money,
but inasmuch as the property had been
improved the refunding of the price of
the lots alone would mean a distinct
loss.
To this complaint the firm replied In
a letter to Mayor Taylor, saying that
after having entered into g. contract for
the building of q sewer 1t was discov-
cred that the surface of Gladys street
at a certain point was 20 feet above the
sewer grade. On this discovery, they
stated, they made formal application to
the board Of public works for a change
in the grade of Gladys street and that
as soon as this was recognized work
would proceed.
Heyman & Brother also complained
that. progress in the building of the
sewer was blocked by the refusal of
some of the property owners to sign
contracts for doing the work.
