If such a nomination was offered to me

some of it from Mr.. Guffey, and follow

Is not named by the war department,
but in his time he was a popular mid
shipman and ensign aboard a battle
ship of the Atlantic fleet.
No disgrace attached to the young
ensign's resignation. When he came
up for promotion to the rank of junior
lieutenant he failed to pass the re-
quired examination and. with his
career thus cut short, was permitted
to resign. He was devoted to the serv-
ice, however, and, at the advice of
friends, decided to enlist for commits
sion in the army.
1t was hard to be a private in the
ranks, but for q year the rookie
stuck to his duties manfully. Then.

NJ rted him absent without leave. the
absence heightened into desertion.

old Annapolis man when the gates of
Castle Williams closed behind him,
and it was so difficult for a former
officer to realize that the enlisted
guards were his masters that he
sulked, grew obstinate and surly, and
finally had to be assigned to a solitary

The holes are to be put down at the extreme lower end of the bench just below the town, at the point where the slope to the hills be- comes abrupt. They are being sunk in the hope of picking up a possible second tier run of pay, as 1t Is believed that the main run of the Cleary pay has never been picked up on 1, 2, and below. On these claims the pay found did not con- pare with the pay on discovery, or that found again on below. If this theory proves correct a good stretch of pay should be brought un- der operation.
