History of N inety-N ine. 64 T,S a burning shame, roared Father Time, closing his book with a ' slam. I gave pages of history to Ninety-nine, and not a line has been recorded these two years. I suppose all will pass into ini the dark forgotten, just as did the hopes of Second Class summer at the Academy last year. How little people value the treasures of timef' Qlt was a bleak day for Ninety-nine. A black eye in lfather Time's estimation was worse than a bad name in the Commandant's office. XV ho was to take her part? An- other outbreak was imminent when in walked Neptune. There was no question as to whose part he would take, for Neptune himself was once a naval cadet. He bilged on his Plebe Semi-Ann, but squeezed into the navy through other channels, was twenty numbers ahead of his class when they graduated, and then, by rapid strides, made his way to his present billet-Ruler of the Seas. His trident was rusty from salt water, an occasional barnacle fell erustily from his clothes, and the threads of his long beard, usually so silvery, showed yellow and tangled from neglect during war timesg but for all that, he was the same old Neptune. The same warm heart that befriended the comfortless Sep QIq'lebe during the few raty days of his academic life Cfor he was a May Plebej, was ready now to befriend those in need of his aid. A friend in need is -- the sick list if pulled at the right time. Father Time fairly jumped when he saw Neptune. just the man I am looks ing for, he exclaimed, hanging l1is seythe on the bell shade. Have they silenced the batteries F Completely, replied Neptune. The Spanish loss is not known, but it is believed that many were killed and wounded. l suppose the victory is due to the skill with which our ships were handled. Precisely, answered Neptune. Largely due to a naval cadet named Mad- ison. He had charge of the poker deck, so the Admiral was relieved of a great deal of anxiety along that line. By the way, what's become of N inety-nine. They seem to have cut me com- pletely in regard to this history businessf, Never mindf' said Neptuneg wait till you see the third volume of McClay: then you'll hear of themf' Neptune was always ready with a jmffus gigantibus for his children. 28
