 Schools of porpoise and several grampus were viewed from the decks in a sea that was almost glassy. Though porpoise are a common sight, the larger fish almost the size of a small whale, are somewhat rare in these waters, accordine to sailors.

This drill which is an essen tial of warship routine is most inter esting and is said to be accomplished with every man over the side of the ship in less than 10 minutes in the At lantic fleet. The local militiamen and regular sailors cooperating did re- markedly well today.
