OF that time less than half of them
were in fit condition to return to the
ship. They had gotten themselves
into all sorts of trouble. Last summer
the same officer took an equal number
Of men ashore at New York. It was
liberty party in exactly the conditions
Of the previous one. But it served to
illustrate what a change had taken
place in the navy in these compare

to the landing at the appointed time
Instead of passing their time brawling
about, as had been the fashion in the

these men had attended theaters and
