ntlon TO give up, and as they anti
clpated, to get into some great feast,
that they supposed might be spread
for the prisoners of the German fleet,
but were all taken back to- Germany
without having received a morsel of
| food.
Young Everman was with his
ship when it acted as one of the con-
voys for the President from England
to Brest, France, a few weeks ago,
and witnessed all of the great DEM
onstrations given the Chief Magis-
trate Of our nation.
"He had the rare opportunity of
being with his ship in many parts of
the world during the last eighteen
months, including Russia, Norway
and Sweden, Holland, England, Scot
land, Ireland, Wales and France, be-
sides many other countries.
"Mr. Everman will return to his
post of duty early next week and
will go with his ship to Southern
waters around South America until
spring, when he anticipates being
sent with the fleet around the world.
He has greatly enjoyed meeting
his many friends in Corbin, where he
spent about three years previous to
going into the war as a clerk in diff
ferent places in the round-house in
the employ of the L. & N r. r.
His knowledge of the great ma
val forces of the Allies is truly inter
esting to those who enjoy the power
. of our country among the other ma.
