In the course of her letter Mrs. Robi-
son says:
1.-THE other day we took a trip On

interesting things. For instance. sew
eral torpedo boats; hydro-aeroplanes,
one of which had been upset on the
water and was giving those in charge
of it some trouble to readjust; two
submarine boats, that were at inter
walls in and under the water. The lat
ter are ferocious looking things and
rather uncanny when they dive below
the surface and reappear in some un-
expected place Then, the Maryland,
big battleship, was in the harbor.
She had been out for target practice,
and, in some way, the men in using
1t had put one of the ten-inch guns
out of commission and the vessel
came into port for repairs.

Maryland and were able to appreciate
the great size of the battleship by
comparison with our own puny craft.

boat, from all sides was a treat, al

out of the water and turned over

Coronado is indeed beautiful
