ton. Gu Tuesday at noon the ship
steamed into Newport, greeted three 9th

a stay OF scarcely more than an hour,
headed down the coast toward Long Is

As thesLong Island shore line faded

Squads Detailed to Guns.
Wednesday morning the real work be

big guns. Later there was a boat drill
and in the afternoon classes were formed
for practical and theoretical instruction
A full crew from among the civilians
reported for each big gun. Men were
stationed in the shell room at the lifts to
load, aim and fire the u inch and eight
inch guns. 1t was probably the first
time that any of the men had an idea OF
the skill and speed it takes to fire a gun
in battle and surely the first time any
had taken actual part.

How Preparedness Counts.
It took the civilian crew Just five min
utes from "hOist away" to fire. Yet a
trained crew goes through it all in 20
seconds, shell after shell, to the end. 1t
was a better lesson than any amount OF
preparedness talk in the necessity of
trained men.
For boat drill the men are divided into
regular full crews. they man the davits
