We left New York on the Havana

day noon.
AS we steamed out of the harbor
of New York, 1 fancied that it was
about the coolest place in the world.
perhaps excepting Greenland. The
Thermometer was at zero and a stitf
Northwestern made it rough and
thcppy. Every one was bundled in
furs and rugs for the occasion. For
the first day out there was but little
indication Of the pleasant weather we
were to experience later. Our steamer
was capable of speed, of about four
teen knots per hour. so that about
the first day out we were off the coast
of Virginia. By this time the weather
had somewhat moderated but the sea
was still running high and many OF

yised me that it would become more
noticeable as we reached tropical

The third day out was considerably
q ailder. We were running off tbs
southern coast of Georgia. A south.

it mild and pleasant We forgot tbs
rigors OF the winter and in fancy We
could hardly imagine the unpleasan,

The sea was as smooth as a pont

HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS
GIVEN FOR PRISONERS
County Court Organ Over
looks Large Amounts
Paid by City
SHo WIN BY RECORDS
Mayor and Water Board Be-
lieves City Has Been
Cheated.

Rushing to the defense OF the
county court in the controversy over
an agreement between that, body
and the city respecting the free use
of water and the free care OF city
prisoners, the official organ of the
court in its issue OF this morn
ing makes the following sweeping
assertion:
while the water works and sew
erage board claims that the county
court has violated the above con-
tract, the city nevertheless is using
the basement of the county jail for
a city lookup and prison and is not
and has not paid one penny to the
county for the use of the same,
which would indicate that the city
expects to forfeit the contract upon
its part and continue to demand that
the county court continue to per-
form its part of the same without
charge to the city"
When this assertion was brought
to the notice of Mayor Frank R.
Moore and members OF the water
works and sewerage board, they
declared that It was a palpable mis-
statement as the city had been pay
ing more than $500 month TO:
Support and lockage fees of the
city prisoners during the time the
agreement was in effect and after 1t
was cancelled by the city council .
In support of their statement, Mayor
Frank R. Moore looked up the cen
celled vouchers that had been issued
and paid by the city for the support
and lockage fees" of city prisoners
during the last year. There are
other like cancelled vouchers bat
those for year were deemed suf-
ficient to substantiate the city's
declaration. Those; that were is
sued and paid during 1911 are as
follows.

rounded the extreme southern point
of Florida that night and the stars
which heretofore had seemed most
brilliant had increased in number in
an astonishing manner. We had the
most beautiful Moonlight night that
ever saw. We of course were all
anxious as it was the last night out,
and in the early morning we would be
