band of sailors and it is rather remark
able that the boys sought the soda
fountains rather than the bar rooms
when they struck Kenosha. The crowd
was an orderly one throughout the
evening, but they lost no time in find
ing some OF the pretty girls OF the city
and within an hour after the men start
ed for shore leave most of the boys
had a sweetheart in port. The shore
leave ended at eleven clock and by
that time every member Of the division
was back on board for the night. The
Dorothea left this morning for Mil

another chance this morning. It is evil
