cry Sunday from now on, when the
river is open for navigation, according
to Commander Joseph A. Dempf, the
vessel will make a short cruise down
| the Potomac in order to give the mem
bers of the battalion an opportunity TO
familiariZe themselves with duties
aboard a cruising vessel of the navy
Last Sunday evening the vessel re-
turned from cruise of four days down
the Potomac river. The vessel touched
as far as st. GATHERINGS Island at the
mouth of the Wicomico river, but about
two days was spent with the Sylvia
tied up at the dock at Colonial Beach,
Va. 1t had been the intention of Com
mander Dempf to cruise up and down
the river, keeping on the go the greater
part of the four days, but heavy fogs
were encountered.

the cruise aboard the battleship Kear-
sarge last summer Thursday night re-
ceived the last of their pay for that
trip. Checks for the one day consumed
in returning to Washington from Old
Point Comfort. Va, where the local
sailors were put ashore, were distribut-
