come dropping in by twos and threes
till, in New York and Philadelphia,
and Norfolk and Frisco, it looks al
most like a naval review. According
to long established custom, they are
there to give the boys in blue a run
on the beach ("liberty," as they call
it in the service), and every man jack
who is not actually undergoing pun
ishment is allowed and encouraged to
take his look at the bright Ights-go
home on leave or uptown for fun or
anything else he likes as long as his
money lasts but away from the ship
in any event. This custom applies
not alone to the enlisted men, but to
the officers as well and, when Christ

there are not likely to be many more
persons on board any man-o war than
the regulations call for in the mini

they lack in numbers they invariably

ways being the complete satisfaction

IL matters not much whether the

So they go at their potato races ana
