ton force in the federal building.
Heath was with Capt. Ten Eyck
Desbitt Veeder in Admiral Sperrys
division on the sail through the Ma,

est thing on the trip was the big ball
which the San Francisco women gave
in honor of the fleet upon it's arrival
at the Golden Gate. He says that the
American girls are certainly ''it,' as
compared with the South American
beauties which the sailors met on
their long voyage from New York.
Heath has many interesting stories
to tell of the trip. Ten days and
Christmas was spent at Port of Spain,
Trinidad; ten days at Rio de Janeiro;
seven days coaling at Puenta Arenas.
Straits of Magellan; twelve days at
Callao, Peru. At Lima six bulls were
killed in a fight and two matedors
were injured while the sailors looked

practice and where Heath shone with
