MADE VOYAGE FROM
CUBA IN THREE DAYS
TUG SEA KING, IN CHARGE OF
CAPT. OLSEN CAME FROM
HAVANA TO PENSACOLA IN
RECORD TINE.

Three days from Havana to Pensa-
cola was the remarkable trip ended
yesterday By the steam tug Sea King,
which reached Pensacola yesterday
shortly before noon. The Sea King
came from Cuba light, and upon en-
tering his vessel at the custom house
yesterday, Captain Olsen was asked
several times whether or not the de-
parture date from Havana was not
wrong. so remarkably rapid had the
fast tug negotiated the distance.
After reac1ing port the Sea King
was IN excellent shape and could have
turned about and again started for
Cuba, 50 far as the tugs condition
was concerned. In fact, on Monday
another trip TO Cuba is likely for ear
~ In the week, probably ON Monday.
Those who were familiar with the
remarkable voyage Of the well known
tug say that even better time than
that ended yesterday is possible, and
that SO hours from Key West to PEN
sacola is an everyday possibility, pro-
viding the weather is good.
Captain Olsen was in charge, and
he stated that good weather was en-
countered all the way to Pensacola
with the exception Of a squat of some
proportions which the Sea King ran
into very early yesterday morning
while nearing Pensacola. Had It not
have been for that little disturbance
it would have been possible to have
clipped off several hours Of the time.

TWO MEN FOR STUDENT DUTIES
IN AVIATION CAMP WILL
COME TO PENSACOLA WITH
IN A FEW DAYS.

Two officers Of the coast guard SER
vice, formerly that Of the revenue CUT
ter branch, have been assigned to
student duty at the Pensacola aero.
nautical station, and WIN arzfSe dur
ing the week. Names Of the as
signed officers have not been made
public, and the only thing known
here Of their assignment is the fact
that such an order was authorized q
few days ago, = copy Of which has
been received IN this city.
A few days since q proposition IN
congress was that an appropriation be
allowed for the coast guard, or life
saving branch, take up aerUnautics,
but this matter has not yet been dis
posed Of. The fact that tbs former
revenue cutter service Is interesting
itself IN aeronautics Is something new,
at least TO local officers Of customs,
revenue or IN general, the coast guard
service.
According to what n learned Of the
assignment, two ofIAcers, yet % be Sc
lected, are authorized to proceed TO
Pensacola for general Ainstruction II

TOOK GOVERNOR FOR BUTLER
Smiled BlandIy and Got Archie
Roosevelt Napkin.

Here's a good one that ex-Gover-
nor Walsh of Massachusetts told on
himself at a dinner given to some OF
his friends in Washington recently,
the Boston Post states.
Some months ago, while he was
governor, Mr.. Walsh was guest at a
reception given by Mrs. Mabel Hunt
Slater in Boston.
The governor arrived and was moi
introduced to all of the guests be-
cause of their large number. Some
time in the early hours of the morn
ing Archie Roosevelt approached him
and said:
"John, will you please get me a
napkin ?"
Certainly" Governor Walsh said
keeping grave face, Gin minute
sir"
The governor promptly found the
napkin for young Roosevelt and
smilingly handed it to him. Some
thing in the governors smile made
Roosevelt suspicious. A well-trained
butler does not smile.
"Aren't you the butler?" he asked
doubtfully.
"No, my name is Walsh; I am
governor of Massachusetts," was the
reply.
Roosevelt apologized profusely.
ooh, that's all right" Walsh said.
81 can understand your mistake. /
frequently have noticed that the
butler is the best-looking man in the
room at Back Bay party"
