Midshipmen May Stay Ashore.
1t is considered probable that the Sec
ond class Of midshipmen at Annapolis will
not take in the annual summer cruise
with the rest of the brigade in June
This plan was followed last summer. and
a regular course Of practical instruction
was put into effect. The reason for keep
ing the class home last summer was that
the number of ships available for the
cruise was insufficient to accommodate
the whole brigade. This is not the case
this year. but the officials were SO much
pleased with the results of the summer
course at the academy that they are
thinking strongly Of pursuing the same
plan this year.
