CHAPTER XII.
The City Among the Leaves and the
City Of Deaaars.

The night was moonlcss and warm.
An impalpable haze dimmed the star
glow, only the diffused illumination Of
the open sen enabled the passengers
of the Fair Play to Identify that
blackcr darkness on the horizon ahead
of them as land. Major Ramos was on
the bridge with the captain. Two men
were taking soundlngs in a blind
search for that steep wall which forms
the side OF the old Bahama channel.
When the lead finally gave them warn
ing, the Fair Play lost her Roadway
and came to n stop, rolling lazlly.
Major Ramos spoke In n low tone
from the darkness above, calling for a
volunteer boats crew to reconnoitcr
and to look for an opening through the
reef. Before the words we're out Of
his mouth O'Reilly had offered HIM
self.
Ten minutes later he found himself
ut the steering oar Of one of the ships
llfchoatS, heading shOrcward. There
was n long nights work ahead; time
passed, and so O'Reilly altered his
course and cruised along outside the
white water, urging his crew to lustier
strokes.
A milC-two milcs-lt seemed like
ten to the taut OarSmen, and then II

plorcd it briefly then he turned back
toward the ship. Soon he and his crew
were aboard and the ship WIS cropping
her way toward the break in the reef.
Meanwhile, her deck became Il scene
of fcveriSh activity; out from her hold
came cases of ammunition and medical
supplies the iieldpicce ON the bow was
hurricdly dismounted; the small boats,
of which there was an extra number,
were swung out, with the result that
when the Fair Play had maneuvercd
rs close as she dared everything was
In readiness.
ORcilly took the first load through,
and discharged it upon n sandy beach.
Every man tumhled overheard and

dropped this in the sand above high
tide mark, and then ran back for an
other. 1t "a swift, hot work. From
the darkness on each side came the
sounds Of other boat crews similarly
engaged.
Daylight was coming when the last
boat cast Off and the Fair Play, with

whistle, faded into the north. her part
In the expedition at m end.
Dawn showed the voyagcrs that they
were indeed fortunate, for they were
upon the mainland of Cuba. and as far

collected within the shelter of the
brush. Then he broke open certain

With the American Army in France. March 12. (Tuesday) After weeks of rain, snow. wind and murky weath- CT, there came to the American front today it's first bath of genial spring sunshine. The skies were cloudless and in the moderate temperature that prevailed sweaters were discarded by the men fer the first time since last summer. While in the villages where they are billeted and in the canton- ments in the training area, the camps were decorated with rolls of bedding being given an airing. Meanwhile the transport work was being expedited by rapidly drying roads.
 in the training areas fullest advan- tage was taken of the open weather, the officers crowding the men to re- neWed efforts to make them fit for front line service. The troops, both on the front and in the training areas, are on tip (. toe for the arrival Of Secretary of War Baker, whose pres ence in France was announced in the Paris morning newspapers and took the whole army by surprise. Word of the secretary's presence in France was spread rapidly by telephone from the bases to the furtherest out post
