ahead Of time and was pulled out on
the ways 10 have the barnacles taken
off her and TO have a fresh coat Of
paint applied. She came off yesterday
morning and gave place to the naval
water tender which will also undergo
a proper scrubbing.
Arcona Leaves Late.
The German cruiser Areona left the
Channel wharf at eleven clock last
night for San Francisco. The lateness
of her departure was due to the fact
that the captain received orders to sail
yesterday and, as some of the men still
had shore liberty coming to them, he
decided to make the departure as late
as possible.
There was a large crowd down to
see the pretty vessel leave the harbor
The visitors have made many friends
while they have been here, not only
among the local German population,
but with everybody, as nearly all OF
them speak excellent English and are
the pleasantest companions in the
world.
