The Christiansted was unable to complete
her route last week, and came into port OF
Friday night. Captain Jensen tells us that
he was at Saba at 6 o'clock on Friday
morning, when the weather broke on him,
and finding the barometer falling and hurri-
cane squalls occurring, he left at $50 direct
for st. Thomas as he could not in the face
of the northeast storm make st. Martin.
He states that he had the worst of it at
about 10 o'clock. He says the storm was
considerably south of him, but it had a much
straighter course to the west than is usual,
aud perhaps it had a slight dip to the south;
it was, probably, owing to this eccentricity
that he was able to get into fair weather so
soon. as it was quite. fair as soon as he
reached the Virgin Gorda.-MaJ Notes

they won't leave a nickel. They'll be there
from three weeks to month, you see,
and the understanding is that all hands
will be allowed liberty there. Well, itll
be the tightwad of a man for'ard who
won't leave from thirty to fifty dollars

A Deep Plot.

"A deep f1OC.
But what a deep deep plan it is on
somebody's part to give all hands for'ard
of the fleet that liberty at Magdalena bay!
And maybe it won't make heart-burnings
among the crews of the battleshps when
he feet reaches San Francisco!
Because. you see. there's many man
who'll 60 ashore at Magdalena bay for
the crude joys of that place who will
never set foot In San Francisco. They'll
euchre themselves out of the chance to
see the best man-Owar's man town in
America by their way of doing things
while on Magdalena bay liberty. Therell
be absolutely nothing on the Magdalena
bay liberties for the bluejackets to do ex-
cept to get themselves picked. nudge up
against monte and mustang and the othe r
TO per cent gambling games of the greaS-
erS chuck the more or less pulchritud-
nous Mexican girls under the chin. and
drift around generally in that kind OF an
atmosphere.
We'll, it'll take the old-timers of the
feet to stand up against temptations Of
that sort. The younger chaps will hardly
have the spine to flag all of these made
to order joys al Magdaiena bay. and the
result will be that the marines will be
rounding them up day and night and hot
footing them back to the ships, and the
brigs will be SO ohock-a-block filed up
that they'll have to jam the rest of the
souses into the sick bay or somewhere. /
don't say this because I am one of these
gruesome prophets. but it is simply bound
to happen. that's all. Men-owar s men
will behave right up TO the handle when
they're in a big port that offers some
other forms of amusement except the pur-
posely constructed honkatonk and so on.
but when they hit up a ready-made orgy
dunn like that temporary Magdalena bay
camp. with no particular necessity for be-
having-With no eyes of citizens upon
them that is-the things that they'll do to
give the beach tone and to slap color
onto the landscape are sure few.
Will Lose Liberty.
TT wouldn't be anything wonderful if
at least one-half of the whole fleet force
for'ard got themselves enrolled on the
fourth-class conduct list while the fleet is
anchored in Magdalena bay. And that'll
cook their goose as far as their hitting
up the enticing beach at San Francisco is
concerned. The best the fourth-class men
will get when the fleet swings into San
Francisco bay will be a chance to peek
over the rail at the town they've heard
all the rapturous stories about all their
lives; but they won't see San Francisco or
any part of it, and all because they've
fallen for the greaser delights of Magda-
lena bay with such a thump that they got
in wrong on the conduct books.
Il believe that if l were I'm the service
right now. and with the battleship fleet,
I'd play foxy and not go ashore at Mag
dalena bay at all For I'd have old San
Fran in mind and I'd rather hit up the
San Francisco beach for twenty minutes
than to prowl among the Magdalena bay
honkatonks. however alluring they've
made them, for twenty years.
