And the morning and evening wa.
the second day.
1t was some day for the FIorida
Press Association, what with a bust
ness session in the early morning
another of Charlie Hervey's compli-
mentary luncheons at / d. M, a bay
party at o'clock. tour of the Navy
Yard at $3.50 o'clock, surf bathine
party at Fort Pickens at o'clock
followed by supper at the fort, the
return trip at twilight and a reception
at the home of Mrs. Frank L. Mayes
last night.
To begin with Reynald's Music
House presented each of the editors
and editresses with a picture of an
H-16A seaplane in the act of hop
ping off, and a bouquet. The editors
We're more fortunate than their ladies
because a half dozen good looking
girls pinned the flowers on the gen.
tlemen, whereas they merely present
ed the ladies with gold pins with
which to fasten their bouquets.
The quartermaster boat, General
Swartwout, carried the party to the
Navy Yard where the first stop was
made. Capt. III. H. Christy, the COM
mandant, had a guard and band wait
ing to receive the visitors, and a
dozen aviation officers were detailed
to show the editors about the yard.
To make the occasion more interest
ing a free balloon was started on a
flight. The CT, sister ship TO the
C-5, which flew from Rockaway to
Newfoundland, and would have made
an attempt to negotiate the Atlantic
passage, was also examined.
In the heavier -than-air department
even more was exhibited. Planes OF
the N-9 and Mo type landed along
side the Swartwout on the trip to the
station, H-16A's circled overhead, and
twice the NC-2, which negotiated half
the journey to Europe with the NC-4,
flew low over the quarternaster
boat.
From the Navy Yard the editors
were taken to Fort Barrancas where
the Coast Artillery Band joined the
party. The Swartwout then started
for the open gulf, but the water was
q little too rough and the vessel
turned back. The landing at Fort
Pickens was made at o'clock and
4 surf bathing party was next in or
der.
Those who didn't bathe watched
The others, and after half hour ev-
erybody was glad to hear Charlie
Hervey pass the word that Chow"
was ready. Roasted oysters "a Ia
Hervey," San Corlos lunches, much
1ear-beer and ginger ale comprised
he ''eats."
During all this time the Coast Ar
iHery Band was busy keeping toes
apping to the music, and after sup
Der an impromptu dance, led by Com
nander Stevenson of the Navy Yard
md Miss Phillips, was organized.
Tho return trip was uneventful. At
