CHAPTER XII.

CHAPTER <I.
II Is two months since | wrote the
last chapter. The next day the
ships surgeon quarantined me with
five others up in the mainmast.
where we spent day and night
before coming into the port OF Yoko-
hama, and on the following morning
we were lowered into cutter and
towed ashore.
These details are less vivid to me
than n troubled dream: they were
followed by weeks of oblivion. for It
was smallpox all right. However,
the contagion did not spread beyond
the original six, and in no case
proved fatal nor left us peck
marked.
Uncle Sam Is a mother to his sail
ors when they are sick. The United
State Naval hospital is situated on
Yokohama's bluff in the midst of its
most aristocratic European colony.
Beautiful courts with fountains and
flowers make an environment that
the convalescent is 10th to leave.
The physicians and nurses are
both eficient and attentive, while
every delicacy. one might demand in
private sanitarium Is gratutiously
melted out. Should the admiral him
self get III he will be taken to the
Naval hospital, but II will be impos-
sible for him to receive better care
than that bestowed upon blue
jacket.
As was leaving the hospital !

said to me, Shipmate. it's UP sticks
with me. I am losing my mind"
"Man-owAr cocktail" replied,
for I remember II was he who intro
duced II to me when we came in
last fall. He told me 1t was the life
assurance Of . tenderfoot In a cold
climate.
A man-o'-war cocktail Is made by
putting one can of condensed milk
In q gallon Of hot water; pouring
one quart of alcohol over six we'll

sugar and some nutmeg (if you can

ed, but I am q very small fraction
of Q ships crow, and my withdrawal
has In no degree diminished either
supply or demand for man-o.war
cocktails.
November was drawing to q close
when We left Yokohama, again pass
ing through the enchanted Inland
Sea on our course to Nagasaki. Our
anchor chains had not ceased rat
ting when we espied the Russian
batteship Runik In port.
II was the chance Of our lives;
II was an opportunity to repay In
& measure some OF the hospitality
showered upon us when In vladi-
vostok.
Purdy proposed that we play
Uncle Toms Cabin" or Twelfth
Night" for them. but after long and
mature elaboration II was decided
that, owing to the differences Of
dialect In the two navies. the only
appropriate entertainment must be
one to appeal equally to guest and
host. Plain a. the nose on your
face. Nothing but banquet.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-A Washing ton dispatch to the New York World says the program decided upon by the Republicans to accomplish the defeat Of the government merchant marine project had for It's inspiration two oo- iects which were closely related. The first was to convince the business men Of the country that the Republican par ty is thoir friend; that t only can save business from the destruction which ,ho Republican Senators have proclaimed is to result from the un- dertahngs of the Wilson admInistra. hou.
 The second purpose of the Republi- ean fight was to bring back under the Republican banner every man who east his vote either for Mr Taft or 1Ir. Roosevelt in 1912
 A feature of the plan that fell down. according to the Democratic leaders. is taat the Ship Trust failed to arouse anything like patriotic protest against the Administration.
