WARSH|PS INSIDE
THE HARBOR HAVE
FINISHED COAuNG
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Colorado VIII Come
Inside Tomorrow---DetaIs of Maneuvering
Cruise Have Been Worked Out.

Shortly after one O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, all of the cruisers in the har-
Dor, with the exception of the West
Virginia, finished coaling, the West Vir-
ginia completing the work at five
o clock last evening. It was long,
hot, weary day for the sailors, and q
great sigh of relief went up from the
entire division when the work was pau.
There were few visitors on board the
vessels on account of the coaling during
the day; indeed, it was day of much
work and little pleasure for Uncle Sam S
officers as well as the sailors.
Early in the morning something of
sensation was bruited around among
the men, when the word was passed
that a sick. coal passer had escaped
from the sick bay, leaped overheard
from the forecastle deck of the Colo
RADIO. and had been drowned. The story
became exaggerated a little by the time
it reached the cruisers inside the har-
Dor. and there were rumors to the eff
feet that the sharks had grewsome
fight for the body of the man when IT
struck the water This was untrue,
however, as ]. NJ Heiden, the coal
passer in question, is now in the sick
bay of the Colorado once more, and Is
on the fair road to recovery. He owes
his life to the prompt work of Passed
Assistant Surgeon Hayward OF the
Colorado, who brought the man to con-
seriousness when Others thought that
life had departed.
Heiden became sick shortly after the
fleet left San Francisco, and was taken
to the sick bay. Here he was confined
until yesterday morning early, when
he managed to get out on deck and
leap overheard. Afterward his body
was noticed floating, face downward,
in the water near the ship, and boat
crew picked up the apparently hfeless
form
To all outward indications, Heiden
was dead. But Surgeon Hayward
making quick examination of the man
thought he detected the faintest move
ment of the heart. He straightway be-
gan the use of the most strenuous re-
suseitating remedies, and for nearly
half an hour it was grim battle be
tween Surgeon Hayward and death
Twenty minutes after Heiden was laid
on the upper deck came a futter of his
eyelids, and it was only matter of
few minutes until he was returned tc
the sick bay.
Admiral Barry Calls.
During the morning Admiral Barry
of the second division paid an Official
call on Captain Rees, Z. s. N, com
mandant of the local Naval Station
and on returning to his flagship was
given a salute of thirteen guns from
the Naval Station. No other officia
calls were made during the day.
