rig was not returned Saturday Mr.. Bond
became convinced that it was stolen.

MYSTERY FLAGS. TF~
Trophies That Are Souvenirs OF Long
Forgotten Battles.

forHotken oattIchs
n the midst of that wonderful col
lection of the souvenirs of battle that
are on permanent exhibition in Trophy
hall at the Naval academy In Annapo-
lis are the nations unknown trophies.
Flags that were captured In now for
gotten engagements are hung in the
cases side by side with those whose
glorious history is known.
Two OF these souvenirs Of forgotten
battles are British flags One is a
lack marked Avon and nothing more;
the other is the ensign OF warship
and is marked Bereford. From the
condition OF both Of these flags IL is
supposed that they date back to the
war of 1912, but history gives no rec
ord OF ships bearing those names be-
ing sent to American waters by Great
Britain.
Another OF the mystery flags Ia the
"s14" flag. In great white figures this
number appears on field Of blue. ana
the entire Gag is bordered with red.
From some engagement in the war
with the Moorish pirates the flag that
the officers at Annapolis came to call
the house flag" seems to have come.
Yet no one knows where that battle
was fought or under what circum-
stances OF heroic sacrifice it was added
to the long list Of the trophies OF our
naval Observation-Disclosures Herald.
