EDITORS .. WILLIAM HENRY STEINHAGEN, Indiana RUFUS SUMNER MANLEY, Kansas GEORGE CONRAD WESTERVELT, Texas HOLDEN CHESTER RICHARDSON, Pennsylvania MANLEY HALE SIMONS, Rhode Island ERNEST JOSEPH KING, Ohio Annapolis, Maryland, May, 1901 To PROFESSOR PAUL J. DASHIELL A man whose name stands out clearest and brightest among the names of those who, by their fairness, cordiality, and gentlemanly kindness, have built up pleasant memories of the Academy in the hearts of the Class of 1901; whose hours and energy have been freely devoted to the advancement of the Academy’s interests; whose ener- getic life and sunny temper have inspired in more than one mind the desire to serve something better: is this volume dedicated as a small token of the esteem and affection with which he-is held, not only by the Class of 1901, but by the entire battalion of cadets. Foreword. In life, under whatever environment it exists, sorrows are more easily remembered than joys: and history, which commemorates the progress of centuries, illuminates only the sterner side of the common life. In the pages to follow, believing, as we do, that no ray of sunshine has ever fallen upon our lives to be forgotten, have been traced the happier out- lines of a four years’ union; so that, in the years to come, when more serious duties leave small space in our lives for levity, though separated by seas and continents, and never again to be united as a class, those occurrences that have caused younger faces to grow bright with merri- ment shall again make our hearts light and our faces merry. Hardly is it necessary to add that the intent to wound or to embitter the feelings of those with whom the reader laughs has been far from our thoughts. If any one would carry a thought away with him as he closes the pages of this volume, let that thought be this: that the remembrance of pleasant moments is the best antidote for pain. We are deeply indebted to Mr. R. F. Zogbaum, Lieutenant W. P. inched, and Miss Louise West for their valuable assistance in the illus- trating of this volume. To them for their cooperation, and to friends for their good wishes, the Class of 1901 returns its hearty thanks. 6 The Naval Academy The Naval Academy of the United States of America was estab- lished as an institution of the Federal Government on the tenth day of October, eighteen hundred and forty-five. The steps that had led to its foundation were varied and numerous, beginning with the plea put forth in 1814 by the Honorable William Jones, then Secretary of the Navy, and ending finally in the early spring of 1845 with the successful effort of the Honorable George M. Bancroft. Secretary of the Navy under President Polk, to secure an appropriation from Congress for its main- tenance. The selection of Annapolis as a site for the Naval Academy was advocated to the Secretary of the Navy in 1826 by the House of Delegates for the State of Maryland; and. by reason of its excellent sani- tary conditions, easy access by water, and its few distractions, this town was finally selected for the situation of the first Naval Academy in- stituted as a national school by any government in the world. The Naval Academy was a necessity. Through years of the train- ing of young naval officers at sea by schoolmasters, whose pay was so limited as to prevent men of learning from accepting a tutorship, to the naval school on shore where the sciences could be taught effectively, was a long, hard stride. Neither was the change effected suddenly. Schools were conducted at irregular intervals at New York and Phila- delphia. The upsetting of the old ideas of the naval officer's education, where valor was held to be the summation of his instruction, was effected, .not so much by the quick change to the combination of brain power with courage, as by the slow, steady increase of scholarly men in the personnel of the Navy. The success of the Naval Academy and its effect upon the efficiency of the naval service are, to-day. the best proofs of the foresight and ability of Secretary Bancroft. (The Academy (T.olors.

An unknown quantity, may be integrated, however. When under the influence of Math, it varies rapidly from stoic to sky-poodle, may be controlled by application of rice (paper) and beef (Durham)- Recipe for duplication: To one-halt pound of mathematical ingenuity, add one pound of plain common sense, half a spoonful of thoughtfulness and a liberal quan- tity of misfortune. It the mixture shows a tendency to smoke, add half a dozen drops of extract of demerits. 21 Allen. Burrel Clinton. “Cherub.” Two Stripes, Ottawa. Kansas.

Step lightly.—this is sacred ground; this is the Cherub, who with the beauty and freshness of his features combines a freshness of a distinctly different nature. Always has a date—be it only a portion of some one clse's date. Lives with Sid Henry. The two of them, when turned loose in Kansas, Cherub’s native hunting ground, two years ago, had the whole unmarried feminine element on a little piece of string. Allen.

A recipe for dupli- cation: Warm six ounces of affection, mix into a peck measure of quick-rising temper, pour in one gallon of grievance, and add one-half pound of genuine South Carolina vengeance; mixture must not be soaked. Ladies like him.--best proof oi his ability. We all like him.—best proof of his popularity.

There ure a hind of men so loose of soul That in their sleep will mutter their affairs. Hard luck (4, 3, 2. 1); Bachelor’s Club. When a plebe his favorite pastime was hooting like an owl for the benefit of un- known benefactors. A great pedestrian, walks even in his sleep; generous beyond hu- man nature, even offering to give his mattresses and hammocks to whomever they belonged. Bass, Ivan Ernest. “Ptolemy.” Four Buttons, Mississippi. The light of forty centuries looks down upon its.”- Napoleon. Bachelor's Club. A man of few words whose motto is Silence is golden; a direct descendant of the Ptolemies of Egypt. Now the legal agent for Egyptian pressed bricks, and other presses. Made a clean sleever by request, and. consequently, is not down on the Striper Brigade. Crew (2). He would like to be a Frenchman, is now a Naval Cadet, but who can tell what he may be when he becomes an Ensign? Knows a good joke when he hears it. and laughs at it. He laughs, too, sometimes when there is no joke, and, is, consequently, a great friend with the ladies on account of his mirth. 23 Blair, George Frederick, Georgie. Buzzard, Michigan. “An idler is a watch that wants both hands: As useless, if it goes, as if it stands. Color Guard (white); Gym (September, 1897). An agent for perfect hair restorer: has worn out two looking-glasses watching himself brush his hair.

A favorite with the little girls in Annapolis. V. M. C. A. (4. 3. 2. 1). A very good and righteous man whose chiefest aim has been the bettering of his battalion. His doing of good for others is unceasing, but his efforts are unappre- ciated by the sin-hardened members of his class. “Plebes succumb with ease hut get over it with youngster” year. Bruff, Charles Lawrence. ‘‘Billie, Shorty. Buzzard. West Point, N. Y. He is not short, he is quite tall. He is the lad that courts them all Mop Committee (3. 1); Hustlers (4. 3. 2); Team (1); June Hall Committee (2). One of the few social beaux. This came from his great power of expression in few words: can express the most unutterable feelings by one word. Always has lots of girls to take to the hop and has an eye which would do an eagle credit, as lie never had a gold brick that wasn’t 24 karat. A great seaman, usually employed as a navi- gator. as he can descry the Cliff Mouse at a great distance. His extended sea serv- ice has given him that rolling motion on land. 24 Burwell, John Townsend. Pete. Buzzard, Mihvood, Va. He was a man, take him all in all, shall not look upon his like again. Class President (4, 3. 2, 1); Manager foot-hall team (1); F. A. F. High aims may not bring perfection but they advance one toward it. None knew him but to like him and a great many loved him.

Has only one foot in the grave.—there's only room for one. V. M. C. A. (4. 3. 2); President (1): Gym fiend (4, 3. 2, 1). One of the few men of good maxims who practice what they preach. During the long and trying siege oi the 2d Class year his room was a City of Refuge for all wooden men who profited greatly hv their visits. His mathematical ability is great but he ain’t much in Ordnance. Cook. I larolcl Earle, “Goo-goo. “Cookie. Three Stripes. Northampton, Mass. Lest men suspect your tale untrue. Keep probability in vino. Kept goo-goo in view (4. 3. 2, 1). Feathers his feet when lie walks. Likes his voice, which he uses considerably on the unfortunates of his company. A loud voice and gift of gab don’t constitute wisdom. The only man who knows the exact location of the fire last year in Lieutenant Ter- hune's back yard. Tries to dance like Chicagoans. Spoons on all the officers. F. A. F. A great hazer. and a member of the “Santee squad. Very bad at times, having thrown the bosun’s chair overboard. Smokes inveterately. A great lover of literature, having the reputation among those who know him of being exceedingly well read. Ilis height of ambition is to become an author of note. Has a drawling voice with which he loves to sing: Oh! how naughty the Mormons are. 26 Cox. Lewis Smith. “(.Sully, Three Buzzard. Atlantic City, Water, 'water, evcryzvherc. But not a drop to drink.” Extra fencing—once; led cheering West Point game. Reel-holder to His Majesty, and Captain of the afterguard. Has often wondered why cows don't fly. As a poet, musician, and singer he is unrivaled. In sooth, was the first to sing the entire score of the Belle of New York at the Naval Academy. Can always prove a disputed point by relating an experience of his in Atlantic City, generally mentioning a short and a tall man. Downes, John. “Dinghy, • Jack. ! � W m -, •A« One Stripe. Quincv, Mass. J. “ - A man must be a spoon. Hop Committee (i); June Ball Committee: Divisional base-ball team. A quiet-appearing man with a cool head and lots of nerve. Is not rattled by even the watchman's grim countenance thrust close to his own on a dark night. A great favorite with the ladies, but is usually devoted to one (one is a variable quantity, how- ever). Sometimes induced to play Smoky Mokes. Ruined his musical reputation, however, by playing in London without sufficient practice. m - Enochs, John Matt. Buck. Mucker. Buzzard, Crystal Springs, Miss. u I Help us. God! Trust us, man! Love us woman.” —Mrs. Browning. Second Crew (3. 2). Circassian beauty. He takes special delight in looking like a married man and teaching Sunday-school when on leave. Has discovered a new hair tonic with the help of the little doctor. He is so fond of the truth that, after telling a girl ior two hours how much he loved her, on leaving, he said to her: Don't believe a word I said. I was only lying anyhow. Ii Buck keeps on. the only place where he can conscientiously wear a hat will soon be on his chin. - Fairfield, Arthur Philip, “Few Hairs,” “Apy Jpy ” Buzzard, Saco. Me. IVliat cursed hand hath made thee hairless? Gym Tournaninet (4): Hustlers (4. 3, 1). A small, aged man whose hair fell out in his youth.

Gymnasium Tournament (4, 3). A hard student and bright: well rewarded for liis efforts by two stripes. Once paraded with the Cincinnati branch of the G. A. R.—uniform: dress jacket and white trousers. From the report of one on the scene he looked stunning. Keeps his clothes in the same room as Cook, from Kansas, but his efforts to hold Merlyn Grail down and keep him from talking are unavailing. Foote. Percy Wright, Kinkaydore.” “Comedo.

West Point weather,—West Point a favor- ite, -Navy won! Same old story,—nothing new! After an hour of play. West Point decided to have the funeral on the Hudson, and they've been burying the corpse ever since. Cheer up. West Point,—if Bunker was a second Bloomer, haven’t you got a name for Tommy Long? A mule, four hundred megaphones, forty-four substitutes and one team couldn’t win; suppose you try a little tonic called Xavy grit! And, above all. West Point, never toy with a torpedo when it has a war-nose on! There weren’t any late arrivals. The north stand and the south stand, and both the side stands, were crowded long before the time for the game had come. The mass of Army gray on the south and the solid bank oi Xavy blue on the north made as pretty a picture as Franklin Field had seen all season,—so the newspapers declared afterward; but the cold, unfeeling fossil that had time to study color effects on that Saturday afternoon must have done the wise thing in leaving his nerves at home carefully wrapped up in tissue paper, “all bound round with a woolen string.” By the way. that quotation is from a sailor’s song. Sailors’ songs were decidedly popular on December first: even West Point sang something to the tune of “Sailing, sailing over the deep, blue sea.” But that was before the game ! After West Point had cheered for everybody in the Army, including the mule, and had spent a few minutes in tuning up on that little ditty that they love so well.—something to the tunc of “My Ann Eliza,”—and were iust about to cheer for the mule again.—a small-sized army of foot-ball suits, filled with players, came romping into the enclosure from the south- 72 west. When a small detachment of the main body had been separated from the rest, the Army eleven were discovered playing polo with a pig- skin in the centre of the held. West Point's colors flew to the breeze; the air was full of W est Point yells; and it was universally conceded that, just then. West Point could have defeated anything on the held. The banner that the Gray had planted in front of their stand fell down not a minute afterward; it was rather singular that Navy’s eleven should come onto the held at the same time,—or was it? Speaking of devils! Fowler looked as if he had been chewing fire for a week, and a pronounced fatalist could have read West Point’s finish in Tommy Long’s appearance on the held. The other nine men needed less than the horns and hoofs. Mr. Smith, of Maryland, pulled off a sweater with an “A” on it (and that A” doesn’t stand for Annapolis, either) and informed the Army eleven that they would proceed at once to roll up that twenty-four points that the Army coaches had calculated to be the minimum score. Fowler had won the toss, and had chosen the west goal with a favorable breeze, giv ing West Point the alternative of kicking off. The Army eleven lined up behind the ball at exactly two o’clock. The referee’s whistle blew ten seconds later. It was the announcement that the funeral would begin. Phillips punted long and low to the Navy ten-yard line. Smith catch- ing the ball. Like a flash of powder. Smith started toward the Army goal, found himself opposed by Boyers, attempted to hurdle, failed, and was thrown so hard that the ball rolled out of his grasp. There was a quick, short scrimmage, and West Point held the ball on Navy’s twenty-five-yard line, the Army cheering like mad. Bunker was the first to drop back for a plunge at the Navy line: When he collected the fragments of the second Mr. Bloomer, after the impact, he decided that Builder Cochran’s style of armor-plate was flawless. Casad followed Bunker with a plunge at the same spot. and. failing to gain, was succeeded by Clark, who tried a last plunge at the Navy line. The series of plunges had netted less than three yards,—it was Navy’s ball on downs! Right then and there, West Point decided to let Mr. Roe Adams alone. Three plunges, the celebrated Mr. Bunker leading the procession, had failed to budge him from his post. West Point was dazed. For a moment the dropping of a pin could have been heard in the south stand. West Point never fully recovered from that first shock. The Army colony decided that it was all a mistake and went on with the cheering.—but that first two minutes of play haunted them all the remaining minutes of play. Fowler was not ready 73 to try West Point’s line, so Belknap dropped back for his first kick. Phillips caught the punt, but before he could advance an inch Read and Xichols piled into him like battering rams and felled him in his tracks. Bunker then dropped back for a tackle plunge,—that renowned “right formation,’’—just as if he had never heard tell of a Navy line. Five seconds later he wished that he never had in very truth; for when he had made a bare length Tommy Long stopped him so hard that he fumbled the ball. Bunker’s first impressions of Tommy Long were not very rosy, but they were correct. When the elevens got low for the next play, the ball was Navy’s in the centre of the field. Nichols tucked the ball under his arm and led the Gray’s left side of the line a merry chase for eighteen yards before he was stopped. Shortly afterward West Point became acquainted with the siren yell, —and West Point’s stock began to tumble. Land and Smith made successive drives at centre, then Belknap dropped back, sending the ball over the West Point line for a touch-back. When the Army kicked out from the twenty-five yard line. Phillips sent the ball well into Navy ter- ritory. Smith met Smith and the ball was Navy's on her thirty-yard line. Fowler tried the left of the Army line, and found the Army far too slow,— a ten yards’ run bringing the ball nearer to the centre of the field. Belknap punted, the ball landing in Phillips’ arms on the Gray’s thirty-five- yard line. Again Read and Nichols pinned the Army full-back to the ground in his tracks. Casad and Clark hit the line so hard that they went back faster than they advanced. Bunker made a third attempt to under- mine the Navy fortifications. West Point had another spasm, and so did Bunker when he tried to get the twist out of his neck. The ball belonged to the Navy on the Army thirty-five-yard line. West Point sent for the undertaker. Land spoiled Bunker’s already tarnished reputation by plunging through the •Army’s right tackle for two yards. Nichols added another yard around Burnett, and Fowler made first down through another Army celebrity,—-Mr. Farnsworth, of the West Point eleven. Smith tore into centre like a bull in a china shop, the scrimmage ending on the Army’s twenty six-yard line, where the ball was fumbled. Bunker falling on it for the Army. Casad was luck) and made three yards around Nichols. Clark couldn't understand it. but made first down through Fremont. Phillips and Clark were hurled back from the Navy’s rush line, and the 74 Army full-back kicked to the middle of the field, Smith taking the ball for the Navy. Belknap immediately returned the kick, and Casad had a taste of thunderbolts when Read and Williams drove into him before lie had advanced a foot. Clark tried the Navy line without gain; Casad crept through for a yard, but when Phillips gave the signal for the kick he dis- tinguished himself by a muff, Fremont falling on the ball in a flash. The north stand was cheering wildly, and the cheer became a roar when Fowler and Land brought the ball, by square, hard, line-bucking, up to the Army's twelve-yard line. On the third down, when the ball had failed to advance. Long dropped back for a goal from field,—the ball sailing wide of the posts. Phillips kicked out.— Long holding the ball for the Navy on Army's forty-six-yard line. Fowler went around left end for four yards, Williams toppled over Farnsworth for three more, and Nichols made first down through the line. For holding, Navy lost the ball on the next play. West Point sent Farnsworth and Casad through the Navy line for four yards, when the ball went to Navy for Army’s hold- ing. only to become Army’s property again for a repeated offense of holding on Navy's part. Phillips, by mistake, found himself eight yards further down the field than when he started with the ball on the line-up, and the army mule wore a smile as broad as its face. Casad tried a short kick from behind the line, and Navy took possession of the ball on Army's forty-four yard line. Adams and Read tore through left tackle for five yards, Williams and Land added eight more, then West Point held fast and captured the ball on their thirty-yard line. Army lost the ball for holding, and Long dropped back for a second try at goal from field, the ball falling barely under the bar. Phillips kicked out again. The Navy settled down to work at the centre of the field when Fowler carried the ball down the field six yards on a fake kick. Belknap punted to Lahm. the Army quarter-back falling to earth on Army’s twenty-five-yard line. Bunker and Casad hurled themselves against the Navy line without gaining so much as their own length. Phillips muffed the pass for a punt and Navy caught the ball at West Point's eighteen-yard line. Farnsworth blocked Long's third at- tempt at a goal from field by leaping into the air. the ball rolling back- wards toward the centre of the field. When the agony had ended West Point had fallen on the ball on Navy’s thirty-yard-line, signalizing the event by immediately helping Clark around the right end for fifteen yards. 75 J It was Navy’s turn to defend her goal,—and Navy understood the work. Three attempts to break down her line failed. Clark, in the last hope of making a score, dropped back for a goal from field, and succeeded in planting the ball squarely between the posts. To have seen the south stand the second afterwards, one would have thought that the game was all over. Riverside would give only a slight comparison. The mule was standing on one ear, making more signs with his feet than Hileman ever did in all his seamanship recitations. During all the playing, so far. the ball had been in Navy’s territory once, when West Point by a sudden rush had scored on a goal from field. The Navy eleven rushed out to the middle of the field like the plucky men that they were.—ready to give Army all the odds and win anyway. Over to the south there floated the strains of “My Ann Eliza.” But. oh! to have heard that little ditty two-thirds of an hour later. West Point! The Navy sang it then! The Army coaches began to sec visions of that beautiful score that they had predicted. What’s that about laughing last,—and best? Navy started off as if nothing had happened, Belknap kicking to Goodspeed, who was thrown violently on Army’s thirty-yard line. Clark found an opening for five yards. Phillips and Clark, by hard playing, made first down between them, but the work was far too telling on the West Point line. On the next play Lahm kicked, the ball going into Navy’s hands at the centre of the field. Belknap kicked to Army’s twenty-yard line, where Clark was dropped without gaining an inch. Casad tried a fake kick play and. hard-fighting, won two yards. Phillips could advance only two feet through the Navy line, forcing the Army to punt. The kick was poor, the ball going to Navy on the Gray’s twenty-yard line. Farns- worth blocked Long’s kick for a goal from field, but Nichols recovered the ball in a second and plunged through the Army’s broken line to their four-yard line before he could be stopped. Smith hit Army’s centre so hard that the ball slipped from his grasp, and West Point breathed freer again. The ball had been within a first down of their goal. West Point’s enthusiasm was not of the champagne flavor that it had been,—arid “My Ann Eliza’’ lacked earnestness. Phillips kicked back to Army’s thirty-yard line, where Long tried another goal from the field. Farnsworth blocked the kick, and Navy was in possession of the ball on the Gray’s fifty-yard line. Belknap punted out of bounds, the Army returning the kick after two attempts by Hackett and Bunker to hit the Navy line had failed dismally. Smith, of the Navy, 78 caught the ball on Navy’s forty-five yard line. The half ended in an inter- change of punts that resulted in a gain for neither side. Casad had been forced to leave the game some minutes before W est Point’s eleven left the field apparently tired. The score was 5—o in their favor; yet Navy ran off the field as if victory were already on the Navy’s side. Navy breathed easily during the intermission, for her eleven had fairly outclassed and outplayed the Army. Besides, there was the old Navy spirit to realize on for a finish. W hile the south stand was pandemonium itself, the north stand was quiet but confident. In the training room the Navy eleven were laughing and jesting with one another. The second half was to be theirs! That is the spirit of the Navy. Spectators in the east and west stands might have thought that Navy had already won the game from the way her team came onto the field at 3.30, shortly after the Army eleven had put in an appearance. Tommy Long was slapping Polar Bear” on the back, Fowler was laughing, and Belknap was turning cartwheels. West Point looked on astonished. The elevens lined up quickly. Belknap kicked off, but was called back and penalized five yards for Navy’s off-side work. Belknap's second kick went to Clark on West Point’s forty-yard line. Read and Nichols promptly dropped the Army half-back in his tracks. A duelling match at punts fol- lowed. Phillips pitted against Belknap. The Navy full-back covered him- self with glory, outpunting the Army player five yards on each punt. A blocked kick burned out a fuse in Navy’s circuit for a second, until the ball was kicked by West Point and returned beyond the danger line. West Point, outplayed m the kicking game, essayed to carry the ball. Haekett tried and was hurled back. Bunker dropped back for a ‘‘right formation” plunge. He dropped fiat against the Navy line. Is this the celebrated.—the second Bloomer?” asked Tommy Long when the Army tackle stumbled back to side. And the beauty of it was that Bunker couldn’t smile. On an exchange of punts, Belknap kicked sixty yards to Army’s fifteen- yard line, where the ball went out of bounds,—Phillips returning the punt with a long, low drive. After the scrimmage. Burnett was carried from the field. Zell taking his place. Navy’s eleven was playing like a crowd of demons, driving into the plays with irresistible force. The running fire of raillery that the Navy team kept up all the while made the Army eleven believe they were not playing with sailors at all. but with the right wing 79 of the Satanic battalion. Bettison, exasperated and aroused by the pleasantry, found W hitlock stronger on each play. Bunker and Farns- worth had found more than their equals in Adams and W illiams. The “lamentably weak” centre of the Navy eleven had not only held, but had pushed back West Point’s “impregnable” centre. Fremont and Belknap got their feet anchored,—and there you are. Read and Nichols were playing all around Smith and Burnett, and Navy’s light, swift backs were running as they wished. Navy’s line was lighter. Navy grit made up for that defect. The snap with which the Navy eleven was playing surprised even her friends. They started plays in a flash, they joked, they laughed, never forgetting the story of 1899. When Tommy Long told Bunker that the plays were coming through him, come they did. Bunker’s last impression of Tommy Long will last him awhile. An interchange of punts made a total of twelve punts inside of five minutes after the second half had been called. Finally, Navy took the ball on Army’s fifty-yard line and settled down to rush the pigskin over the Army line. Land went around the end for five yards, and after two exchanges of punts, Smith, Fowler, and Nichols hit the Army line successively and successfully for ten yards. West Point, thoroughly frightened, held firm, and the ball was theirs on downs. Phillips dropped back for the punt, but Read and Land broke through, and. when he fumbled, Land fell on the ball on Army’s ten-yard line. North stand became a waving mass of blue and gold. Long tried again for the goal from field. Farnsworth blocking the kick. Navy retained the ball, however, and on the next play returned it to Army’s sixteen-yard line on Fowler’s vicious plunge through the centre. As coolly as he had tried for his first goal from field, persistent Tommy Long dropped back for a last try from the twenty-five-yard line. The Navy contingent held its breath for a second.—then saw the ball sail high above the goal, squarely between the posts. The score had been tied. The pent-up enthusiasm of the north stand broke its barriers; and when any approach to quiet was had the game was back in the centre of the field, and West Point was rushing the ball. Twenty yards Army made.—then stopped. Navy was playing the game again. Phillips lost the ball for Army on a fumble. Twenty minutes of the game remained. Finn replaced Farnsworth, who was badly hurt: Nichols took Phillips’ place, and Williams went in for Lahm. West Point was being slowly but 80 surely battered to pieces. Phipps soon replaced Clark, who was carried off almost lifeless. From the centre of the held Belknap punted long and low to Army’s fifteen-yard line; and there, a Gray, attempting to make the catch, slipped and fell. Nichols and Read fell on the ball with W est Point’s goal eleven yards away. The funeral was almost ready. Smith, for the Army, called back his team; 1901,” he said, “it’s up to you; you must win or lose for Army here.” In a group a few yards away, Long was saying the same words to 1901 of the Navv. So it was up to both, and the tug-of-war was on! If West Point could prevent a score, she might hope to have the game end in a tic. The remembrance of a previous defeat gave the Navy eleven more than it needed of determination, and the Navy spirit was rousing itself. The history of the game was to centre about the next three plays. Nichols made a splendid plunge at left end. West Point’s line held firm. On the next play. Long (general that lie was!) gave the signal for the mass on right tackle. The Navy massed its strength on the right side of centre. West Point was low, every man ready to drive into the Navy’s mass play and block the heavy rush. The ball was Snapped. Whitlock pushed Bettison out to the right. Bettison supposed that the play was coming from that direction, and believed that the Navy centre had at last made a mistake. The revolving mass of players whirled off toward Navy’s right end: but Land, who had been crouched behind Long all the while that the formation had been made, slipped the ball under his arm; and. when Fremont put Boyers out of commission, through a hole as wide as a wagon’s track the Navy half-back plunged toward the Army goal.—ten yards away. At the five-yard line he slipped, and the Army’s right end closed in upon him. Quick as a flash, Fremont and Whitlock were under the play, driving the half-back nearer and nearer to the white line of chalk that meant victory, if crossed. Bunker was in the play in a second, but a second too late. Driven by the force of Navy’s left guard and centre. Land fought and staggered, falling at last across the goal. The Army had been outgeneraled. If ever pandemonium reigned, it reigned then and there in the north stand. Officers who had reached the maturer ages of Commander and Captain were as wild as the youngest supporter that Navy had on the field. The side lines were covered in an instant. The stand was a de- lirious mass of gold and blue. The air seemed to shower hats. The Navv 81 � coaches were crying in each other's arms; and this is the song that the Navy sang: “Army Blue, Army Blue, We’ll make the Army Blue! We’ll chase their team right off the field. And make the Army Blue!” A moment later. Fowler kicked the goal, making the score n—5 and the north stand wild again. The game was all but over. West Point came back to the centre of the field defeated, not dismayed. Navy lined up.—plucky, nervy team!—ready to make another touchdown if necessary. Amid the shrill cries of the spectators, and the singing of “Army Blue,” Belknap kicked off. Immediately after the kick. West Point was penalized for coaching from the side lines, losing ten yards thereby. With the ball in West Point's hands, Phipps broke loose from the Army’s line and started straight for the Navy goal. When he had passed all but one Navy player, and had covered thirty yards of the distance to Navy’s goal. Smith crossed the Army's path. Unable to intercept the fleeting West Pointer. Smith flung himself through the air at the man with the ball, dropping Phipps to earth with a thud. When the Army half-back fell, he fell on the daring Navy full-back. After the great prolonged roar of applause had subsided, Smith, limp and well-nigh lifeless, the first of the Navy eleven to be hurt, was carried to the side lines. There, propped in the arms of friends, half-unconscious, he insisted on being allowed to see the finish of the game. Manley replaced Smith. It was a dying struggle. Punt was returned by punt, each side look- ing eagerly for a fumble. Finally it came to Navy to kick from her ten- yard line. Belknap dropped back for the punt, but the Gray charged through like mad. and the kick was blocked. Back across the goal.—the Navy goal,—rolled the ball, and the game was on the auction block. Quicker than it takes to describe it. Long was flying after the ball, the Gray coming close behind. Long plunged for the ball, tripped a West Pointer who was close behind, then fell squarely on the pigskin. The safety made the score 11—7. in Navy’s favor still. Navy kicked out once more, West Point returning. Fowler decided to run the ball on downs, and began the work by driving around West Point’s left end for four yards on a fake pass. Steadily the Navy carried the ball toward the centre of the field. People on the north stand had been watch- ing the dummy clock on the east stand for hours, so it seemed to them. 82 In reality, the last five minutes of the game were being played. The hand moved round to 33. then stopped. Franklin Field was no plac£ for people of weak hearts at that stage of the game. Franklin Field was learning something that it had never known before.—a stirring finish. W hile Navy was slowly carrying the ball up the field, and the north stand was on the rack.—the suspense was broken by the hands on the clock creeping round to 35. The referee’s whistle sounded the “release.” It was the signal for the wildest demonstration that Franklin Field had ever seen. The blue and gold colored the field for a half-hour to come, paraded, waved, thrown into the air. When south stand was fast growing deserted, a mass of Army Gray was seen drawing near the Navy’s side of the field. With heads uncovered they sang Army and Navy Forever,” did those loyal sons of the Army! Navy forgave them on the spot and joined in the chorus. In the face of great odds, with heavier, older men and greater selection to favor the Army, the Navy eleven had met, out-played and defeated the Army’s team. The score doesn’t half indicate the Navy’s superiority. Enough praise cannot be given. Cochran of Princeton (almost a Navy man now!) struck the keynote when he said: It is the pluckiest, nerviest team that ever has played the game of foot-ball. Cochran knows a thing or two about the game himself, and he made that remark during working hours. Late in the afternoon, Fitzpatrick called at Hotel W alton to see about a check,—and,— The Navy girl received the Christmas present! 83 Foot-ball OOT-BALL. since its introduction at the Naval Academy over twenty years ago, has been the principal sport of the institu- tion. Taken as a whole, its history is one of success. Year after year we have turned out light but fast teams which have met and defeated all save the teams of the largest Eastern colleges. When the West Point games are on, all ers are regarded simply as practice games for these final struggles. Our four victories over the Army arc those of which we naturally feel most proud. After West Point had so easily defeated our veteran team of last year, the situation which presented itself was a perplexing one indeed. A few weeks of spring practice was tried in the attempt to find and develop a quarter-back but without success, and we left for the summer cruise with the hope that a “find would turn up in the entering class. In the latter part of September when the candidates for the Academy team arrived after giving up a week of their short leave, the outlook for a winning team was anything but bright. We had lost by graduation six of our last year’s team, and the entering class showed no very promising ma- terial with which to fill their places. After a week’s preliminary work in kicking, catching, and falling on the ball under the eye of Prof. Dashicll. Head Coach Cochran arrived and regular training began. A week later we played our first game with Baltimore Medical College, and although we won by but a small score it showed the possibilities of a strong team. A week later came the Princeton game and showed the team greatly im- proved in defensive work but with a weak offense. On the succeeding Saturdays the team met and defeated Georgetown. Lehigh, Washington and Jefferson, and Pennsylvania State College respectively, and each game showed the effect of efficient coaching and the team improved along cer- tain lines. With the Penn State game ended the games with the smaller col- 84 leges. The team was then called upon to play both Columbia and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania within four days of each other. These games were in a way disappointments, but the defeats received, and the terrific smash- ing of Penn s heavy team was just what we needed in preparing for the final contest on Franklin Field. A short rest followed the Penn game, and then our final preparations began. Although affairs looked extremely doubtful, the team received the greatest encouragement from both officers and cadets. It was owing to this splendid spirit that the team, although one of the lightest in the history of Academy foot-ball, went to Philadelphia with that do or die” spirit which is so important a factor in the winning of a game. e all know the result of the game, and 1 think we may justly feel proud of nir hard-earned victory which came as a fitting reward to us and to our coaches. On the behalf of the team I wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Cochran and Prof. Dashiell for all their labor in our behalf, and to Mr. Christie, no greater proof of whose ability as a trainer could be given than that the team played the entire W est Point game with but twelve men. To the Captain and team of 1901. I wish to say that those of us who leave this year go away with the greatest confidence in your abilities as players, and with the firm belief that, under the guidance of Prof. Dashiell. you will come back from Philadelphia a winning team next fall. 85 Howe, 1901.

Track Athletics NAVAL ACADEMY track athletics have never been in a very flourishing condi- tion, owing, probably, to the fact that no meets with outside teams are held. The crew and base-ball team take the majority of good athletes, who would rather com- pete with other teams than train several months merely for the sake of defeating a brother cadet. Taking into consid- eration the facilities for training and the amount of time given to practice, the records made at the various meets are very good. The meet held last spring, on May 26th. was one of the most success- ful ever held here. Three Academy records were broken: the 120-yard hurdle race by Berrien, the mile run by McNair, and the running high jump by Blackburn and Wainwright. It is hoped that more enthusiasm will be shown in this branch of athletics during the coming spring, and under the efficient coaching of Mr. Christie some new records will probably be made. In gymnastics, the other branch of this department, an unusual amount of interest was shown during the past year. The tournament held in the gymnasium on March 17th was very successful, and showed some cleverly executed feats. The work of Hyland and Landenberger 011 the trapeze, the tumbling of Hamner and Smith, Morriss’ club swinging, and the all- round good work of Mannix were especially noteworthy features. In closing I wish to thank the officers for the aid they have given us during the past year, and the cadets for their hard work in helping to raise the standard of track athletics at the Academy.

The Navy Boat Crews. In the year 1893, interest in rowing at the Naval Academy was re- vived. mainly through the efforts of Naval Cadet Winston Churchill, Cap- tain of the crew. Since that time the sport has increased yearly in popularity, and at the present time it is. as it naturally should be, one of the most important. The improvement of last season’s crew over previous ones was most marked. The two-mile record was lowered by more than twenty seconds, which appears very creditable, considering that a new stroke was intro- duced. Our coach was Mr. J. H. Ten Eyck, who is not only a noted oarsman himself, but whose son holds the diamond sculls, won at Henley in 1898. Training was begun on the first of February. It consisted at first of hard gymnasium work, together with coaching in the tank and pair-oar work when’ the weather permitted. By the first of March, crews were gotten on the water, and several weeks of excellent weather gave an oppor- tunity of becoming accustomed to the new stroke. Later in the season, the crews having been formed, they were fre- quently lined up for a scrimmage, and. owing to the enthusiastic zeal of the second and third crews, the first eight was frequently hard pushed for its position. The third crew lost the hitherto familiar name of “the crabber crew,” and in its “brushes” with the second, often maintained a lead. Careful and conscientious training characterized the whole season, and, as a result, the men were in fine physical condition in racing season. Six of the members of the first eight had played foot-ball during the previous fall, and. therefore, had only two months of relaxation before crew train- ing began. The prospects this year are bright, inasmuch as we have a larger num- ber of experienced men than ever before. Races have been arranged with Columbia. Yale College, and the University of Pennsylvania, while the second crew will again race the University of Pennsylvania Freshmen. By our endeavors we again hope to please the adherents to this branch of athletics, and trust that we will more than uphold the prestige established by Naval Cadet J. Y. Timmons, Captain of the crew of 1900. and the best oarsman who has of late years pulled for the glory of the Old Gold and Navy Blue. Tne Captain of the Crew. 95 Crew Races, 1900.

Base-ball The base-ball season of 1900 at the Naval Academy was very success- ful!. if considered from the proper point of view. The first essential of a successful base-ball team is good material from which to choose; this we had. The second is constant practice; this was impossible on account of drills and afternoon study hours, only an hour each afternoon, at the most, being available. But even under this disadvantage the team bore up re- markably well, the fielding and batting being up to the standard of nearly any college team in the country, the inability of the team to depend on themselves, and thus going to pieces, being almost entirly responsible for the games that were lost. Another drawback, which is very serious to the success of a base-ball team, is the lack of funds with which to pay the guarantees of large col- leges in order to obtain a game with them; the subscription for athletics is entirely from the Cadet Battalion and officers. Several of the larger col- leges realizing this, and that we could charge no entrance fee, offered to play us without any guarantee whatever; this courtesy was greatly appre- ciated by the cadets and officers, and these colleges will always be looked upon with a brotherly love. Heretofore little support, in the way of en- couragement, could be looked for from the battalion, but as this season promises to be an interesting one. and considering that we have one of the best schedules of any college in the country with the probability of finishing the year by playing W est Point, it is sincerely hoped that the officers and cadets will attend the games and keep up the spirit of the team by cheering, even though we may be playing a losing game. It is also hoped that the team will he excused from drills so that their practice may he perfected, which will be necessary in case we should play W est Point, and which would be highly gratifying no matter whom we should play. That base-ball can be played at the Academy has been fully demonstrated by the showing made in last year’s games, and with continued improvement there is no apparent reason why we should not have as good a team this year as any college.

The First Class Cruise of the Class of 1901 HEN the pleasures of June Week were over and our worldly goods had been crammed, after much persuasion, into the pigeon-holes called lockers, we sadly realized that there was about to begin a yachting trip. but our grief thereat was somewhat tempered by the thought that 'twas our last. So when Tommy had come chasing breathlessly down to catch last boat for the last time and most of us leaving our hearts behind us, as Willie did, we stood out of the river Severn on the eleventh day of June, in the year nineteen hundred, bound to parts known and unknown, to face what might befall us. little knowing or caring what it might be so long as we came safe back again and time passed not too slowly. The Newport was the first to depart this peaceful haven, and so sad were her gallant crowd that they stood at attention. unable to utter a sound.—and once clear of the madding crowd, they immediately fell to learning the signs and signals whereby they might again come to the ancient city where dwell the powers that be. When the Newport was out of cheering distance the Standish ranged alongside and took the Chesa- peake in tow. and with three cheers and one cheer for those left behind us. we were started on our wanderings. As Annapolis faded in the distance, we saw all rest and comfort fade with it and turned with tender tempers and tenderer hands to the cruise. morning watch. begun at least ’mid fair surroundings. Working down tlic Bay spent the first week, and with every tack we learned new points and old in seamanship, while ‘Wav' and “Skinny” were not neglected. He who turns the trumpet royal-ward to say “Uncover! also endeavored to work a search light by the formula C“R disdaining King Nav’s assistance, while he of the hatchet-built sextants cussed us out daily because our scrap-heaps did not place us within signalling dis- tance of the Xav's position. And we will not forgot those who rigged the whaleboat with cutter's gear, under the supervision of the human shower-bath, and bravely drifted to leeward of the ship, to row back against wind and tide,—an hour and a half to gain a mile.—and gain by ex- perience just what was told us by the oiticer-of-the-dcck.— when we got back. The “Standish brought us mail and provisions while we were lying oil Cape Charles City, and 'twas then we first learned how fared our classmates on the “Newport. Suffering angels! their words would burn the paper. On June 21st we got under way and stood out of “the Capes. Outside, the swell speedily made the youngsters lose all remain- ing doubts as to why cruises arc so unpopular, and “Patsy heaved unto himself a long, deep-drawn sigh. We ran up till off New York and then stood to and fro to occupy the time until we were due in Long Island Sound. The schedule had been made out for the “Motion. and the “Peake, passing everything except ocean liner's, was too fast to lie kept down to it.—a very excellent fault. We were still learning, -the cry, “Ship ahoy! struck the oflicer-of the-forccastle aback one day until he discovered that 'twas not Neptune hailing, but the “youngster lookout aloft had descried a sail on the far horizon. The “Polar Bear had us take “time-sights before breakfast to get up an ap- petite (as if we needed any), and we nightly spoiled the evening air with weird chants and strange on the “to’gallant fo’c’s'le. Wc finally ran into Long Island Sound and who does not remember that the first principle of celebrating Independence Day is to have the ship scraped, scrubbed, painted,—from truck to water-line.—and how his con- templations of the distant green hills of Connecticut were interrupted by a gentle warning to keep off the fresh paint, or an invitation, in kindly TUIi OUKKNS. VINKVARI) HAVKN. 124 voice administered, to scrape spars and oars whose cleanliness and good looks he had never doubted. The ship being finally gotten to the liking of the “first luff,” across the Race and into New London was a short run and we anchored off the Pequot House on the afternoon of July 2d. Our pleasure in getting ashore that same afternoon was not at all dampened by the fact that the “exec.” gave us liberty only to get us out of the way. Our stay in New London is one that cannot soon be forgotten, and when we left it was our wish,— and it is still,—that we might again come to Pequot Point. All of us have tender memories of the place,—’twas there that “Chew met Rachel, and “Dusty set things in a commotion on board by borrowing the Captain’s gig,—but who may not, if he have so fair a damsel to plead his cause? With Gardiner’s Bay come thoughts of trips to Orient in stout com panv. excursions to Plum Island and its “post exchange,” and picnics on Gardiner's Island which discounted all that ever happened. We had but a short stay this time, thinking to return and be transferred to the “New- port in a Couple of weeks, and turned us towards Buzzard’s Bay, a fishing ground of interest to the nation five or six years ago. Going up the Bay we caught our first glimpse of the “Newport” since we left Annapolis, through “W ood’s Hole, bearing our classmates northward to Boston. At New Bedford we were joined by “O’Kelly who had been on sick leave from the “Newport and very glad to be sent back to sick quarters at the Academy. In spite of his short stay on the other ship, the tales he told did not make us at all sorry that measles on board her should delay our transfer.—we were sorry for those who had the measles, but it seems that our sympathy was misplaced, it should have been given to those who didn’t have them. Liberty brought to us some new ideas in the way of concoc- tions soothing to the thirsty palate and some new ideas to the people of New Bedford as to appetites. Ask Alfy about that “lunch.” Of course “Hoot had to spill himself on the wharf coming back, but he didn’t mind, so long as the “bull” was safe. We had a very pleasant time and were favored with fair company at church on Sunday morning,—“Buck sat in the front row! “Well, he ought to: lie’s a Y. M. C. A. man.” Our return to Gardiner’s Bay was in expectation of transfer to the “Newport,” but with the 21st day of July came no “Newport,”—and we were content to stay where we were and be good. But why, ye savants, is five miles from Orient Point a more convenient place to get mail and “spuds” than one mile? Who took the dinghy and went for a “fume?” 127 What did “Maggie” catch when lie went fishing? Who showed “Horse” the difference between a target at a thousand yards and a schooner at four miles? The “cadet seaman's” strong young voice was heard hurtling down from aloft: “1 cahn’t do it. sail, it’s jalnned.”—and “jahmed” it was for a fact. Why can a Long Island horse go twenty miles and finish better than another which has traveled but eight? After a few such trifles the Squadron came in and we learned many things of import, not the least of which was the extreme care with which the rain-clothes man piped down “scrub and wash clothes with the flagship. The visits to the “Kearsarge” and “Kentucky” were full of interest and of envy for the class of last year. Those who had “gone before did all they could to show us what we didn’t have and we were loth to leave them and depart for Newport, where our classmates were eagerly waiting to take our places. “Gully” came over the morning after we got in and arranged the preliminaries. In the afternoon we embarked, bag and baggage, in the boats which had brought our reliefs. There was a very happy half-hour spent before leaving, in seeing the fellows who had for seven weeks been at the mercy of the bugler and the greaser” corps,— but our turn was now come, and, with cheers for the good ship Chesa- peake, we turned to the last part of our last practice cruise,—only four weeks to go. Amid the confusion of settling down, the “Vigilance Committee” began its quest for liberty and Horse” began to lay in hay. oats, and straw for the trip to Boston. While at Newport the Torpedo Station was well explored and an afternoon’s outing on the torpedo boats was much enjoyed. Lib- erty was gladly taken bv all who could get it and dances at Jamestown made “Cherub and Ikcy” and the other “spoonoids” happy. Cottage City and Vineyard Haven claimed us for an afternoon and furnished us with a Portuguese picnic wherewith to amuse ourselves,— Stein” discovered his inevitable “queens,” Patsy” and Horse learned a new (?) maxim, while the two Shirks put it in practice. Edgartown be- came too lively for somebody, after an evening of catboats and girls and songs, so we put to sea and came to anchor in Provincetown outer harbor, “safe from ‘femmes ” as we heard on the bridge. However, no sooner had the mud-hook struck bottom than skiffs and dories, punts and catboats put out from all sides,—what was to be done?—’twas madness to put to sea at night, so search-light and boat played tag as they had done the night before, and “Jim’s” heart fell overboard. 128 Boston is remembered chiefly for its sweltering beat and the theatre party organized by the ever-vigilant Vigilance Committee.” Of course, we learned something all this time,—that is what practice cruises are for,—but it is permitted one to believe that the cadet knows his Keith’s better than he does his chain-shop, and his subway better than the Navy Yard. A trip to Lynn on the morning of the day we left was interesting to all. especially the basement of the electrical works. At last we got clear of Boston Harbor and ran down to Cape May, learning the rudiments of modern seamanship from those who know,— we kept clear of a tow which passed two miles oft by a judicious use of the helm, but the rail was manned, ready to shove ofl in case of a head-on col- lision, boat-hooks being used as buffers. “Alfy” got us safely up to Phila- delphia and we were at last anchored out of the track of ferry-boats, after making a thorough survey of the river. Our visits to Cramp’s were fruit- ful in learning and the canteen brigade flourished. Pop” and Spoony Dick” rebelled in Kentucky fashion, organizing a foraging party of two, and were escorted to the waiting boats,—every one was so thirsty. Liberty on Saturday and Sunday was much prized by all. and W illie and his friend spent all of it at Asbury Park, while most of us inhabited the Rathskeller and in- cidentally looked about the city. A dog, exhausted with a long swim, was rescued from the river the day we got in, and Pop,” with a towel, was im- mediately installed as reviver, while Chew” stood as godfather to “Rachel,” giving her a name he liked. Rachel” stayed with us but a little while, because of a fondness shown for the cabin and the dislike thereto of those who are. “All hands up anchor,” called the boatswain’s mate on a foggy morn- ing,— for home!” we added with a will, and home it was. We were on our way to Annapolis and leave. How we toiled and strived in engine and fire-room to get in as soon as possible! Joey” mended the blowers and got his ‘ buzzard”—’twas below decks and was easy for “Joey”—and we did get in on Saturday morning, August 25th, but 110 leave could we have until the “Chesapeake,” which we had thought ahead of us, should arrive. Liberty during the afternoon only made 11s the more impatient to get away, and it was glad indeed we were to see the “Chesapeake” come in that evening, as neat and trim as ever. And as the two ships lay at the dock, taps” sounded over the water, and the last practice cruise of the Class of 1901 was done. End. 129 f� V. S. P. S. “CIIKSAPIvAKI l£e Ballabe of pirate Iborse.

A cruise on the “Robert Center” had long been contemplated by a number of 1901 men: but, on the arrival of First Class leave, with leave money, cheques, drafts,'and various other invitations from home, only four remained of a yachting party that at one time threatened to over- tax the hospitality of the ship. A day in moving aboard was followed by a far more pleasant occasion in ladies’ day.” Shortly after noon, however, of the afore-mentioned ladies' day.” all hands responded to the call of “Up anchor!” and set sail for Balti- more. a place easy to reach but harder to leave. So hard, in fact, was the leaving that, but for Fowler’s fondness for 1K7 fishing, it is doubtful if even the third day had seen the little ship heading southward. At Patuxent River the fish bit well, the mosquitoes better, but despite this and the sad death of a coon and a sand-hill crane, all hands were sorry to call themselves once more for up anchor.” The end of another pleasant week’s cruising down the Bay found the party anchored off Newport News. Early one morning three days later. just after returning from a party, sail was made for the last time and the course set for home. A moderate hut freshing breeze was picked up during the night, which soon veered aft. bringing with it a dense fog. Shortly after daylight Bloody Point 1 .iglit was passed and a few hours later the old State Mouse tower hove in sight. At 9 o’clock the yacht moored to her familiar buoy. Two days later she was put out of commis- sion. and four fellows now look back on one of the most pleasant features of their Academic career in the cruise of the “Robert Center.” May she be to other I'irst Class men what she has been to us. an opportunity not neglected.

On June 6th. 1899. all the rats left the “Monongahela” and she was doomed, so said the seamen, and many were the wise heads that were shaken. The “Monongahela” has not sunk yet. and some wits will have it that the rats left because Llats” Wygant was coming on board. Be that as it may, rat omen or not. on the 8th of the month all that band of martyrs, excepting the First Class, known as the U. S. Corps, Naval Cadets, embarked on the good ship for a jaunt across the Pond to where England, the center of gravity of the earth,—to judge by i.ts comic paper. Punchy—lay. Fond friends and a brass band assembled to bid 11s a tearful and noisy farewell. Amid the Godspeeds and the affectionate farewells of our friends we let go our lines. Ten feet of watery gap,—too far to jump,—and we had left much of what we held dear. The music of the band and the cheering, the answering cheering from our ship and the two hundred hats waved in the air made us feel that even parting is not all sorrow. When we must part in our journeys through life, let 11s part this way.— with perhaps a few moments in some secluded spot with the one particu- larly dear. No silent farewells; no stiff, military formations with waving hats tabooed and hearty cheers forbidden; nothing like this for us. There 143 was an occasion when we left our friends behind in such a manner; may that occasion never be repeated. Chesapeake Bay, the happy hunting ground of the oyster pirate, the abode of the succulent bivalve, intervenes between the Naval Academy and the ocean, but it is a small piece of water when the Pond must be crossed. The Standish,” a first-class battle ship, used as a tug boat at the Naval Academy, left us ten miles from shore, in a calm sea, and with three home- ward-bound toots, steamed away. Oh, treacherous calm, so soon destroyed by the undulations of the sea's emotion; oh, happy ship's company, so soon laid low by the soft, rocking motion of the cradle of the deep. It is very well to talk about Rocked in the cradle of the deep,” etc., but more than half the cadets from the Monongahcla” will bet a bad dime against a last year’s bird nest, that the song was written by a land lubber. No,” said Buck Enochs (through his teeth), when asked if he was seasick, I am not. but my in-growing toe- nail is giving me the dickens.” The first night out, and all that band of upright gentlemen.—the Naval Cadets,—were fiat on their backs. It was the next morning that we discovered Pat Lannon tying a rope around himself.—just above his breakfast, so he said. Everyone recovered enough to eat the daily canned horse” and the weekly plum duff, and all went well, particularly as the Assistant Naviga- tor was seasick most of the time and the instructors in seamanship kept us busy only 16 hours out of every 24, leaving us 8 hours to stand watches and sleep, particularly the former,— Tige” looked out for the latter.

Jennings! where------is that nigger Jennings! Muster the cadets, PH teach Jennings something. —the time soon went. The days passed pleasantly enough regaled as we were by the exhaust- less store of Tynes’s stories. Tynes, by the way. poor fellow! he is dead now, was an old-time negro with all the genius of the race as a racon- teur. 11 is inherited simplicity was tempered by a world-wide experience extending over 60 years, until it was transmitted into a desire to do others for fear they would do him. and he experimented on the Captain’s cook. There is probably no ship on the face of the waters that cannot outsail 144 a ONDON the “Monongahela,” which has only been able to get out of her own way once and that when picked up by a tidal wave and carried several miles in land.—the only time she ever moved with a breeze less than a gale. Nevertheless, shortly before midnight on June 30th. the lookout reported a light-house and we were in English waters and near one end of the journey. But we were not destined just yet to find our anchorage, for a sudden channel squall coming up forced us to run to sea and it was not until the morning of July 2d that we dropped our mud-hook in Plymouth harbor. We rounded into Plymouth harbor and into our berth in the prettiest fashion that was ever seen, so said the Captain of an English battle-ship; and we can well believe it, for our skipper was a sailor and knew the old “mud scow” like a favorite poem. But our dealings are not with Plymouth, nor our sphere of action there beyond the fact that it was there we first found how little we knew about English money. It was there Enochs mailed his letters in a private box on some gentleman’s door and had to ring the bell and ask the maid for them; it was there that Kittinger was taken for one of the bandsmen in Barnum’s circus and asked when the rest of the show was coming, and there that we took the train for London. In a special train we went to London, undoubtedly the largest solid American contingent that has ever traveled in that manner in a European country. Hedges, hedges, hedges. Take a trip in England and look at the hedges and the fields laid off with mathematical inexactness, for no two are alike, and the funny little towns with their picturesque buildings. There are actually rabbits along the way that do not seem to fear the advent of some young Nimrod, and not infrequently a kind-faced cow with a motherly expression in her large, sad eyes. See the little tin express wagons, covered with a piece of canvas, the “goods vans. which take the place of their freight cars and the little en- gines, no larger apparently than those children arc here given for Christ- mas. See all this and you are on the way to London, the biggest, baddest city on the face of this oblate spheroid. On the way to London in a train into which the conductor locks you so that you have to crawl out of the windows at every eating station.—every station was an eating station when we went up. Our coming was unheralded and our arrival at the various stations in a blast of 180 produced such consternation in the ranks of the waitresses that we had to take everything in sight and throw down what 149 ve thought it worth, or else go without. Everything went, from grapes to ginger pop, from canned salmon to saner kraut. There was a famine along the line of the Great Western Railway the next day. “Paddingon Station!” said the porter, as he came around and un- locked the cars to save us the undignified trouble of crawling out of the windows, and we were in London; loose in London for five days, with a limited bank account and unlimited ambition. Various were the experiences of our little band; too various, in fact, to treat of here. We saw what there was to see, did what there was to do, and had a jolly good time through it all. Read the “Guide to London;” those are the places we went to: what was there to do to have a good time?—we did it. Our thanks are due to Colonel Gouraud, ex-U. S. Army, for every kind attention possible, including a theatre party, a dinner at the Savoy, a trip to the Crystal Palace and a dinner there, and a trip to 1 Ienley-on-Thames with a whole day’s merry making. To Miss Edna May, The Belle of New York, we express our appreciation of a delightful re- ception at her beautiful residence, at which we were not only impressed with the fact that we were Americans hut made aware that she had not forgotten her own nationality. In London we saw Sir Henry Irving in “Robespierre,” and, during his tour of this country, should one of our friends.mention having seen him, we would proudly say: Oh, yes; fine actor, I saw him in Lonnon.” But the days flew and the time came to part, and when the waiters, porters, errand-boys, boot-blacks, and chamber-maids lined up between the office and the front door for their parting pourboire, McCommon walked down the line and shook hands with them all,—his bank account was a thing of the past and he had nothing to give them. We had done London in a week, and well, too, we fondly imagined, so we retraced our steps to Paddington Station. Turn the panorama slowly and sadly backward, blow the last cigarette smoke, chuck out the last empty ginger ale bottle, and Plymouth is the next station; the ferry boat is waiting at the dock to take the naval cadets to the “Monongahela.” The Monon once more, to find our laundry very much on board, all over the whole packet, in fact, with no two pieces in the same pile. It was impossible to find a pair of socks with a search warrant. The “Loidy wat fascinated de soap suds” had a husband who was a boatman, so her card informed us. We have never been able to see what this had to do with 150 HOUSES Of PARLIAMENT. LONDON BRIOOC ;%; m ROTTKN ROW. LONDON, ENGLAND the matter, unless the miserable wretch beats his better half and she was informing on him as an excuse for her deplorable attempt at conducting a laundry in a civilized manner. The next day we bade adieu to England,—“Merrie England” we had found it, and had liked it well, too,—and put out to sea. We might have spared our good-byes for a time, as we were becalmed for three days within sight of the island. Then came along a typical channel breeze and kicked us down the European coast in a playful attempt to hedge us into the Bay of Biscay. Like an unusually erratic Will-’o-the-wisp, we jogged along; all the points of the compass were ours as a stamping ground. For pure perversity and cussedness the wind certainly drew first prize, and it was not until after thirteen days beating and swearing, cursing and wearing that Proto Santo, an island off Madeira, came in sight, and another loop of the journey had been unravelled. Eight a. m. found us in sight of Funchal, Madeira Island, with a “Dago” tugboat alongside, offering in a most persuasive manner to tow us into the harbor for £25; a sum which was, after considerable bickering, re- duced to £5, after which all went merry as a marriage bell. We let go our “Emblem of Hope” at 8.30 in 40 fathoms of water with a 70 fathom scope. The next day the starboard watch of cadets went ashore, while the port watch stayed aboard, tarred rigging and changed sails. The port watch came next, and, though Funchal is not a large place, they spread themselves. The Island of Madeira rises from the water’s edge right up into moun- tains so steeply that the use of horses and carriages is out of the question. Instead, the people go up the incline in a carriage on runners drawn by oxen and called “bullo carros,” and slide down on sleds guided by sled boys who must stop at the numerous “half-way houses” along the route and quench their burning thirst,—at the traveler’s expense, of course. Great sport it was,—try it if you ever get a chance. Of all the lovely places in which to pass a honeymoon commend 11s to Madeira. Beauty of nature is there going to seed; the fragrant stillness is broken only by the jangle of some beggar’s conversation. One could sit and coo forever. Love at an elevation of five thousand feet with such a view of beauteous nature should be one long-drawn sigh of content. Several members of the first class hope to pay Madeira a visit if we become Ensigns in June. 155 One of the most pleasant features of the second day on shore was the reception tendered the officers and cadets of the Monongahela” by the American Consul. We hope we showed appreciation of his bounteous and gracious hospitality. The next day. the 27th of July, the Boatswain blew his pipe and with the help of the cadets to swell the volume of the sound sang out the welcome words, “All hands up anchor for home.” Right merrily we manned the cap- stan bars to heave around and pull our anchor free for the last time from foreign soil. Out into the open sea the little tugboat, with noisy effort dragged us, and there we found a breeze which did our hearts good.—207 miles that day with every indication of a speedy passage. But. 0I1. what a difference in the morning!”—not the next morning, it is true, but a few mornings after- wards. Becalmed one day. the next thrashing along with a whole-sail breeze, every one happy and wishing to wager his cast-off shoes on a timely arrival, until we struck the doldrums. For the benefit of those who do not know, the doldrums are spaces in the equatorial regions of the middle Atlantic where for ten per cent, of the days of the year it is calm: no breeze troubles the serene temperament of those placid spots. We got the whole ten per cent., and had it all our own way. ()h. the dreary vastness of that broad expanse of breezeless water! every day spent there was one off our too short leave at the home end. The hopelessness of the long, weary roll, the melancholy picture scared upon our brains, the sky so cloudless and so blue that our poor attempts at expres- sion could not increase its depths of color one degree. We tossed a barrel over one day and then for three days stayed in sight of it. It looked like a demon bobbing up and down in fiendish glee unable to control its bursts of merriment. The exasperating mockery of that barrel would have driven even Alfie” Howe to drink, were it not that all the drinkables were in the ward-room lockers, and the ward-room boys could not be bribed. We re- mained in the same place so long that there was no need to go on deck to take a sun sight: we merely started with our position as we knew it to be and deduced the altitude.—we were pretty expert at this at any time, as practice makes perfect.” At last the gentle zephyrs filled the sails and we went bowling along forty, fifty, and even sixty miles a day until off the Bermudas we discovered that a West Indian hurricane had playfully preceded us and carried off all the breeze, leaving in its comical way a sea that was pretty much of a heavy i $6 PUBLIC GARDEN, MADEIRA swell, and no mistake. A West Indian hurricane is a bird, with its cute little manner of whirling around and playing tag with a ship. But this one did not get us. although a Chicago paper informed our anxious friends, in flaming head-lines, that our ship had gone where mermaids play hide and seek.—but it was wrong. The food gave out.—no more corned meat, no more pretzels, no more crackers, no more condensed milk, nothing but coffee, sugar, and kidney stew. The content of that ship load was remarkable. What cared they for food when they had the beauty of the sea to gaze upon? Why regard the inner man when the mental man was fed with navigation and seaman- ship four times a day? Yet. strange to say. there were some who com- plained. who thought the fates unkind, the breezes not propitious, our luck not all it might have been. For the skipper there were only words of praise, he could not sail without a wind, but when the wind did come, up went everything to topgallant studdingsails,—and stayed up. The homeward-bound trip was a nightmare,— pardon us if we rend not our souls in showing to the public what is written there,—and yet amid it all were scattered seeds of pleasure which fell upon more fertile soil than did those of discontent. At last a breeze, and one that we felt would be lasting. “Little drops of water, little grains of sand,” etc., once more exemplified,—little ripples on the water, little uneasy liftings of the sails, and then a breeze; gentle and caressing at first, slowly urging our reluctant craft upon her way: then strong and resistless in its generous might, grasping the ship in its invisible hand of steel to carry her to the goal. And so the story almost ends with America in sight, fireworks at Virginia Beach in celebration of Labor Day. an anchorage just inside Cape Charles at the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. The fireworks were our first sight of anything on land and they were the most beautiful things we had seen in a long time. A ball of red fire, a medley of the lights of Roman candles,—all sent the same “welcome home,” and the words in which our minds clothed the welcome are too sacred to be divulged. We had some fireworks on our own hook, as soon as we had dropped our anchor, for the purpose of attracting the attention of the“Standish” which was supposed to be somewhere in that vicinity, and early the next morn- ing she came tearing through the atmosphere with a bone in her teeth and something to eat on board. We handed her a line just as soon as we had taken the food on board, pulled up our “spade” and started up the Chesa- 161 pcakc four bells and a jingle.” The remainder is history, for the next day we went on our long-deferred leave, nine days behind in a leave of only twenty-nine days. At this late day. the experiences of the summer, almost two years ago. furnish the subjects of many pleasant reminiscences and conversations. We paid for our fun, but we had it without a doubt. We paid in cash and it is all over; our pleasures bear interest compounded whenever we wish. Long may they wave! BECK FORT, 1TNCHAI.. MADEIRA. l62 To the Clean Sleevers.

The cModern Fable of the cNjce Young oMan Tzho didn't know that the gun was loaded. There was once a Nice Young Man who lived in Ugly Quarters on the Next to the Last Floor down from the Top. Me was Right in it with the girls, and they all thought him Pretty Smart. He used to give them a Con game about being a Lovely Child when he was Small,—and having cinched a Blue Ribbon in a Baby Show, et cetera, et cetera. He also thought that he was Real Hot Stuff in Passing out Puns. Some others said that his Puns were Rank; but so long as the Nice Young Man could Jolly the girls along, he gave the Some Others an Icy Stare. Since the girls didn’t read Joke-Books that were more than a Few years Old. they didn’t Catch On. In Fact, the Nice Young Man worked his grease with the Ladies Dead Smooth. Mary Ellen Lease said that he was Cute. His Long Suit was Dewberrying,—and he used to Titter that he could give Any Plug Cards and Spades in a game for the Lady and win in a walk. lie Chased Himself out into the Park About every Evening to give the girls a Treat, and he always had to adjust a Fresh Smear of Cosmetics over his Mug after he came back from the Treat. He didn’t know what he would have done if he had Also, sunk the “Merrimac.” When Any of the Fellows Happened Around, the Nice Young Man would Spot the Other Guy Cold, and say Something Real Funny about him,—till the Other Guy felt worse than Thirty Cents. But he never Cracked a Smile unless a Bunch of Femmes were Hovering around close; for although he gave the girls a Talk about Being Something Fierce with his mils, lie was afraid to have his Peepers Put on the Bum. He never Spooned with less than a Brace of Daisies at One Sitting, and his Habit was to Say: “Safety in Numbers, Doncherknow!” He got so many Pretty Ones on the String that he couldn’t Decide which One to Cop Out. The girls all thought that they were Luckv to know him. But the ice Young Man got his Neck in a Sling one Day. He Called some 'fall Guy Down before a Pair of Queens, and said Something about Telegraph Poles and Clodhoppers. The girls made Goo-Goo-Eyes, but the Tall Gent Flared up Quick. He was So on his Ear that he didn’t mind the Ladies a Little Bit: so he Sawed Off the Nice Young Man with a Solar Plexus on the Lower Maxillary, and gave him a Headache in the Back, after which he Dusted Off the Bricks Thereabouts with the Nice Young Man’s Anatomy. The Girls saw that the Pretty Thing had Put his Foot iu it. so they Drove On with the Tall Gent. And a Kind Old Man Collected the Fragments and Paid the Fxpressage on Them to Kansas City. Moral.—A Good Life Insurance is the Best Policy. The cModern Fable of the Boy who went aJ ay to school, Now in a certain great Agricultural District in the Far West there was once a Bov. lie was a good Boy and Nice to his parents; so he lived an outdoor life and grew Brown and Healthy. He was a Peaceful sort of chap with a Trust in Mankind only equalled by Caspar’s in the Discipline Department. But the Boy had Something up 11 is sleeve, and the Folks were sur- prised when the weekly papers told in blaming Headlines how he had won an appointment to the Naval Academy. A great career was predicted for him. and the Town Folks were as proud of him as if he had been a gal Baby with Red shoes. The Boy alone seemed unperturbed: like his great- ness. his Bump of self-esteem was undeveloped. But a year at school Did Wonders for the Boy. At the end of that time he could make a Noise with his mouth like a Thirteen Inch gun at Target Practice; and his old-time Timid but graceful Pace had given Way to a Roll like the “Monongahela” in a Dead Calm. Inspired bv these successes, he developed an expansion like 1-1 0 “from and at two hun- dred and twelve,” and he began to deal Heart-Blows to all the Ladies. On the way Home next Leave he Played Havoc with the Hashers along the Route; and the Sleeping-car Porter decided that he must be either the Senator from South Carolina, or the Advance Agent for the 172 SUPERINTENDENT S HOUSE.

But the Boy had changed; and, after a month’s Trial, they Shipped Him off to school. Moral.—The Boy is not always Father to the man. The cModern Fable of the Gay Young Thing 7bho bought gold-bricks, Once there was a Gay Young Thing who lived in a Quaint Old Town built some time ago. He went up against the Pipe a good Deal, and sometimes he Stacked a little on the Long green: but his Pet Aversion was to Put up a good story for Trapping the Pap, and to draw six hundred Plunks Per’for wearing a Dutch Tailor’s uniforms and eating Machine- drilled Hash and Some Other Things. Occasionally he looked up Some- thing in a Book. One day. when he had lighted a Nice One. and was about to l ake a Fume, the Head of the Push called him Down for Fair: and gave him the Tip that, if he didn’t Shake a Leg and Brace up. the Gang would have to cast him Loose. The Gay Young Thing squeezed out a smile, and echoed that he would Touch ’em up or Something soon. W hen he was alone he distinctly remembered that he owed One at the Domicile of the Chief of the Bureau of Math Probs. The Chief was Stowing away a Few Cold Bottles on an Army Major at the club: but the Lady of the House took him In. and asked him all about Things. Then a Brace of Femmes came gliding into the Best Room: one of them was a Lily Peach, but the other one was a Left-over gold-brick; and the Gay Young Thing saw Right Off that It was up to him to buy the gold brick. She was the only one of the Chief of Bureau of Math Probs. So he Put up a Big BlulT and talked Wise to the gold-brick while he gave the L. P. the wink: and. in about two Bells and a Jingle, he had made a Date for the next Hop. Having done which, lie got under his Lid, Set his Head Sails. Hauled up his Port gang- way, and Made Sail. On the night of the Flop he perfumed himself and Otherwise to make himself as Odious as Possible, and began to work his graft for a good 175 Tiling in the Semi-Ann in Math Probs; but he didn’t Put his Best Friends next to the Deal until they had Run afoul of the gold-brick. So they were Sore On him. and some had a mind to Put him In. but he didn't Let that Bother him much. He Smeared it all over the C. B. M. P., so he guessed, and made himself as Solid as possible. A few d ys before the End. lie gave it to his Intimates on the Dead that it was all all over but the Shouting, and Dropped a Few High Flyers showing how he had simply Pushed a good 'Filing along. And they thought that he was Some guns and had gotten into Fine Pickings; and they wanted him to put them Next, but, instead, he gave them the Merry Ha-Ha. And lie used to stay up Late telling how he was going to Shoot the Chutes,—and so forth. ❖ £ His Best Friends carried him away from the Exam Room on a Shutter. The Gay Young Thing was Daft and had a Few stray Pains in his Upper Story. Some thought that there were Rats in His garret. He said him- self that the old man had Taken a Hard Fall out of him. The Bust put him Out of Commission for Some Time; and when he was out Dusting Around Again, the C. B. M. P. had Soaked him on a Tree with a Two for the Term.—the Gay Young Piling was Tin-canned. He Shoved Off in a Little while, and sought his gold-bricks Elsewhere.

[Approaching the Steam Building, Bogario continues.] Now, here we have the costly station From which we get our ventilation; Those electric fans revolving quite Cool off the place by day and night. It’s just in summer that they run— Sue—It must be sport— Bogario— It’s jolly fun. That bank is lined with many a pair Of “spoonoids” out enjoying the air. There passes here, so they tell me, Full many a bit of repartee! The breeze is favorable, so they state. It’s lovely sport— Sue— No doubt, it's great. [Approaching the “Santee. ) Bogario [indicating the “Santee )— That is the “Santee. prison ship. On which we take our yearly trip: She is the fastest thing around. Sue—How can that be? Bogario— She’s fast aground. Sue—Oh, Mr. Billiams, you’re so witty. To waste it thus is such a pity; I’ve never known another like you. With wit both killing and so new. [Aside.] Already has a half hour fled, No word about the ring I’ve said. [Suddenly (?) spying Bogario’s ring.] My! what a very lovely ring! Where did you get the handsome thing? 183 [Aloud.] Bogario [Aside]—Gee! Fate is surely on my part, I had no idea how to start. Now, since she’s partly raised the flag, I shall not let the subject lag. This ring, Miss Smith? W hy. is it true You do not know? I thought you knew. That is the emblem of old “ninetccn-onc,” Which is worn by every mother’s son W ho is so fortunate as to pass Four years as member of that Class. I'm glad you asked, because, you know. It pleases me my ring to show. You sec the figures? Would you guess That some a meaning quaint possess? Yes. truth to tell, in my estimation None is without signification. Sue—That is the prettiest ring I’ve seen.— Pray, tell me what does the anchor mean? Bogario—The anchor. Miss Smith, is the sign of hope,— It’s to it. you know, that we tic the rope That holds, in a storm, the pitching ship. We hope, you know, that the rope won’t slip. Sue—It certainly is most wonderful, quite, How you think of things so very bright. There are still some meanings left to tell— Bogario—Ah, yes. indeed! We’ll start with the shell. This shell. I’m told, is the sign so true Of love,—it ought to appeal to you. Sue—A riddle! really I cannot see Why the sign of love should appeal to me. 184 Bogario—You will in time,—but we’ll let that drop: For explanation we must not stop. We will pass along to the frowning gun Whose meaning is a noble one: 'Plie emblem of our nation's might,— The cause it is fired in ever is right: The security of the country’s powers, The defense of our loved one’s homes and bowers. Sue—I vow. you right into eloquence reach. Bogario—“Loved ones” is the theme on which I preach. Sue—You’re too deep for my comprehension. Bogario—Such was far from my intention. Sue— e will not drift into repartee— Explain the other things to me. Bogario—The eagle is a well-known bird; Phe country’s mascot. I have heard. He is quite bald.—and I am, too. From thinking. Miss Smith, so much of you. Sue—How daintily you turn a point; You put reply quite out of joint. There is no response left for me.— Do you think there is? Bogario— None that I see. 'Phe eagle, too, is the sign of strength. Of power and might; he shows the length To which, in a war. we’d gladly go In fighting for those who love us so. Sue—Who is the one that loves you so? Bogario—Now. really. I couldn’t tell that, you know. Sue—Oh. my! You certainly are perverse! You could not possibly act much worse. Bogario—The shield is the last one to remain: Its meaning, 1 think, is very plain. The explanation could make no hit. So I’ll spend no time in explaining it. [Apart.] Now for the work; what shall I say? It seems hard to give a ring away. 1S5 Sue [apart]—I wonder what scheme I’d best pursue To get that ring away from you? [To Bogario.J Let me sec your ring as we walk along. Do you mind very much if 1 try it on? Bogario—Do I care? No, indeed, ‘twill give me pleasure And honor the ring beyond a measure. It fits cpiite well. Why! 1 declare It’s not too large for you to wear. Sue [sadly]—It’s a little large; you plainly see It never was made nor meant for me: It looks so well, I cpiite regret That 1 haven’t the right such a ring to get. Bogario [apart]—This is my chance; without a doubt One would think she meant to help me out. [To Sue.] You have the right such a ring to wear: It’s often done by girls down here. Sue—That’s rather strange; no doubt it’s true. Have any of them worn yours for you? Bogario—When a girl wears my ring you can aver It s a token of love from me to her: And. since I’ve not such a feeling known. I’ve kept and worn it for my own. Of course. I’m not so bold as to say That I may not meet my fate some day. Sue—I might have asked to wear it a bit. But you’ve already said you’d refuse me it. I’d better, perhaps, give it back to you— Bogario [a little anxiously]—No. keep it a while: all I said wasn’t true. I know one girl who could wear my ring If she wasn't too proud to ask such a thing. [Aside.] That is further than I meant to go. But what could I do, I was cornered so? Sue [aside]—Mine! One would almost think that he Really wanted to give his ring to me. 186 [To Bogario.] Why, who is the girl you so esteem? You're more susceptible than you seem. She'll be enchanted through and through To get a concession like this from you. Bogario—Do you really think she'd wear it about? Sue.—Do I think? Why, she would, without a doubt. Bogario—Are you positive she’ll not object? Sue—She’ll be overjoyed, I rather expect. But tell me her name, and tell me true Without fabrication— Bogario— The girl is you! You’ve agreed to keep it, you've told me so, There’s no way out of it now, you know. Sue—This is so sudden! 1 can’t reply,— I had no idea the girl was I. It’s so embarrassing, 1 declare: Do you really wish me your ring to wear? Bogario—Oh! yes, indeed; it gives joy to me To place it in such good company. [With hesitation.] I've a favor to ask; do not refuse: You can grant it easily, if you choose,— Since we each other so well know. Will you call me just Bogario, And drop the Mister? Sue— Why, certainly; If you will do the same by me. And call me Sue, without a Miss— Bogario—May 1, indeed? 'Twill be such bliss. I never thought you cared for me Enough to grant that liberty. Oh. my! there is the bugle blowing: It’s time to leave, I must be going. To-morrow there’re no drills to bore,— If you have no date, will you come at four? Sue—Yes. I shall be glad: I have no date,— You’ll meet me, I hope, as I enter the gate. I must leave: so. good-bye.—Bogario. You will be late if I do not go. To-morrow, at four, 1 11 again see you— Rogario—I’ll be prompt to the minute. Good-bye. Sue. [To himself, as he hurries off.] That was not so hard, yet I rather guess I showed by far too much eagerness. I gained my point, so what the odds, Though I did forget my strongest cards? herself, as she walks off]— Well, this is great, though, truth to tell. 1 didn't manage especially well. THE TOOT. Gerry [at supper]—Say, Billiams, what’s become of your ring? lias it gone as so many do in spring? You had it on at dinner, I think,— Some maiden has it. I'll bet a drink. Bogario [as the horse-laugh subsides, blushing furiously]— No, Gerry; you are dippy quite: 1 sent the ring away, to-night. To Tiffany,—for I frankly own I wished my initials on the stone. Gerry—Oh! yes, young man, you’re very cute. But you don’t know how to “shoot the chute.” Your Uncle Gob’s been there before. He’s well up on this “lover’s lore.” Jumping Jupiter! don’t get so red; You seem embarrassed by what I’ve said. [Bogario concludes meal in silence.] BREAKFAST. [The O. 1). reads the following notice:] ‘Cadet Billiams has lost a ring: Has anybody found the thing? It was lost at half-past six. or so. Between Lovers’ Lane and Upshur Row.” [Roar of laughter in mess-hall.] 188 Gerry—Ha! Ha! Say, boys, now wouldn’t that jar Your aunt’s preserves? See where we are,— At the table, here, with this spoony lad.— My child! my child! blit you’ve got it bad. [To a questioner.] Who got the ring? Why. don’t you know? Well, say,—just ask Bogario. Bogario—Now, see here. Gob. if you mention a name. By Tecumseh’s nose! I'll crawl your frame. You’re pretty bright, it must be said. To think of having that notice read. But stop where you are, 1 want no guff, I’m sore for fair, for I’ve had enough: The next man bleats, I’d like to state. I’ll soak him with a butter-plate. AFTER BREAKFAST. [Bogario is carried by his classmates to his room.] The Class [in front of Bogario’s door]— Hoop la! Oh, say, just hear us shout! You're very bright, but we’ve found you out. Come here and show yourself, dear boy. We re happy, and wish you to see our joy. Why is it that you retire so? We arc mighty proud of your face, you know. [Bogario appears at door with pitcher of H.O and is welcomed bv a wild shout.] Bogario—See here! Class— He speaks! What does lie say? • He must have talked well yesterday,— See him wave his arms, he speaks quite loud. Bogario—Look out for yourselves, or I’ll drown the crowd. You’re a lot of stiffs.—I break the face Of the first who comes around this place! Class—S’death. in sooth we’d best disperse: He’s quite insane and is growing worse. You spoony lad, oh! hear us sing, Bogario’s given away his ring. 189 Bogario—See here, this is all that 1 shall stand. I’ll whip any one of your blooming band: You’re a handsome lot; it is pretty plain, You think you're bright,—hut you give me a pain. Class—Good-night, dear child, we’ve had our fun; It’s very clear you’re easy to run. You seem on a toot, your head’s a-whirl,— d ill we meet again,—Hope you’ll win the girl. THE FINALE. Gob Gerry’s letter to Sue Smith: Dear Miss Smith.—I write to wish you joy In the conquest of that darling boy, Bogario, but ’twill give you pain To know we’ve had him on a ‘train.’ The ‘cat is out,’—Billiams, poor child. Has been run until he is almost wild: It’s a lovely chance to be right merry, And we’ve had our fun. Your friend. Gob Gerry. Sue’s note to Bogario: Dear Bogario.—I have just learned The way in which the fates have turned. I never would have taken the ring Had I known t’would cause you suffering. I send back the ring, and I hope, with it. You’ll be able to bluff the thing out a bit. I’m really very much pained for you: In sorrow I sign myself—your friend. Sue. Bogario to Sue: Dear Sue.—Don’t take this thing too much to heart: You’ve already more than done your part. You’re not to blame: it is too bad.— If you say you are, it will make me sad. You send the ring back,—the best thing to do, Or those who know would have worried you. ✓ Tis yours when you wish, as you no doubt know, I shall keep it till then. Bogario.” Fowler's Cat I'OWI.IiR S CAT. There was a cat upon our cruise (My Lord! but she was ill abused). Her owner was a gay cadet. And she, his one and only pet. He always fed this awful sight From early morn till late at night. But though she ale. she ne'er grew fat. She was a long and lanky cat. There was a small and portly gent. Whose favorite corner she'd frequent. One night, when others were asleep, She fell into the briny deep (The cause, as you may well expect, Our handsome, popular exec.'') She bade her owner a farewell In one long, lingering, luscious yell. Now in my dreams I sec that fright. And wish I had her appetite.

If both A and 1' were to head for each other, they would, without doubt, collide (see Fig. 6, Plate XX 11). in which case seri- ous damage would very probably result, depending on the speed of. and hence the momentum of the ships. Should they both turn away, in all probability, there would he no collision (Fig. 7, Plate IV). . . . Should one ship not discover the other until they are so close that collision is inevitable, then it becomes a difficult task for the writer to lay down any fixed rule for the avoidance of a collision, and the only rule that we can go by is to maneuver so as to do the other ship as much damage as possible. . . . Should A sight P� heading so as to cross her course and hull down in the horizon, let 11s for a minute consider what might happen (Fig. 214. Plate MCXXXIV): they are probably from 12 to 24 miles apart, so that steaming at 30 knots, the fastest average speed, it would take them from one-(|iiarter to half an hour to render collision unavoidable, so that A would probably have time to get out of the way (big.------. Plate-----). Considering the best authorities we may come to the following conclu- sion : “The best way to avoid a collision is to keep out of the way.” Capt. Black Coone, of the coal barge “Bonito,” writes in regard to the subject: “----------they did it.” The captain of a well-known vessel writes regarding the use of boat- hooks in collision as follows: “In regard to the use of boat-hooks on large sea-going vessels, I can positively state that they have, on more than one occasion, saved my vessel from serious damage. In July, 1900, I found my vessel, which drew 12 feet of water, in a very dangerous berth, anchored within 1.000 yards of a large coal barge. The harbor was crowded with another barge and a small yacht, and mv vessel was anchored in 90 feet of water which shoaled 202 rapidly to not more than 50 feet. Realizing the danger of my position. I cautiously weighed anchor and slowly went astern, as the 50-foot line was not more than 500 yards ahead of my vessel. When I had gone about 800 yards astern. 1 suddenly came to the conclusion that collision with the barge was inevitable. When the vessels were still several feet apart, I became convinced of this fact and stopped the engines. I then sent several of the men aft with boat-hooks, and, as the vessels struck, ordered them to spring upon the rail and keep the vessels apart. Three of them responded and had no difficulty in preventing any damage to my vessel. Piloting. At sea, as well as on shore, it is always well to know where you arc at. Finding this, when you don't know, namely deep-sea sailing, or proper piloting, is not a matter of seamanship, and is too simple for us to discuss here. It is with the difficult question of finding whether your eyes are de- ceptive and whether you are where you really think you arc. when land- marks are in sight, that concerns us. This is done by means of buoys, megaphones, ranges, intricate mathematical tables, and. in emergency cases, common sense. . . . Good leadsmen are rare. If a great number are used, and if they all heave at the same time, a mean of all their read- ings will, very probably, eliminate the elements of personal error. . . . If you arc standing into an anchorage and wish to find where you are. proceed as follows: the Captain. Executive officer, Navigator, Doctor, Ray- clerk. Assist. Engineer, the officer commanding, the marine guard, and the watch officer, all repair to the bridge armed with, one watch, toothpick. Bowditch, pen and ink. Coffin, sunset and azimuth tables, charts, pipe and tobacco, and drawing instruments complete. The band, barber, and marine guard should assemble aft on the quarter deck. Start the Thomp- son machine and have a man with a megaphone aft to transmit soundings to the bridge. Have the principles of geometry at the tip of your tongue. Then proceed to locate yourself. . . . With regard to the danger angle, if there is a rock on your course, send for the Navigator and have an altitude of the sun taken, also angular dis- tances of the danger from the sun. Sound the alarm for collision drill: if at night, take lunar distances, then go below, compute damages, and how much rock there is aboard. 203 At night special care must be observed in sighting lights, look out for the moon rising, also remember that there are causes not due to refrac- tion, which sometimes make a light look double (Fig. 256, Plate MDCIX). It must be remembered that buoys are often out of place and that light vessels may be so, hence, if there is a light vessel on the beach, don’t try to navigate over the sand. The only way to navigate in a fog is upon hearing a sound, STOP, and wait until it is heard no more, or else head right for it and ring up full speed. . . . Sounds are often very deceptive. The author knows of one instance of the rubbing of loose rigging against the ship’s bell being taken for a distant whistle. Note 15. -If, in a fog near the shore, you lose your reckoning, send a boat ashore and ask your latitude and longitude (correct to the nearest minute, seconds may be disregarded), at the nearest farm-house. Then anchor and wait for the fog to lift. W hen it does, get bearings and take your departure from your computed position. This shows the great ad- vantage of keeping near the shore during a fog. Note C. In approaching a strange harbor there may be difficulty in recognizing landmarks and aids to navigation, until you get close enough to them, it is always well to anchor and send a boat ahead to sound the channel and check the reliability of the chart. When you have the sun at your back you can see much better than when it is shining in your eyes. Notes on Buoyage. Fig. 7165, Plate XXX, shows the system of buoyage used in the Indian Territory, and the following notes arc on buoyage of different sys- tems. 1. It is not thought necessary to give the system adopted by the United States and Great Britain. 2. In Central China the system resembles that of Central India and Siberia. 3. At the North Pole there is a natural fairway buoy. 4. Yellow buoys are nearly always painted that color. 5. T11 Patagonia. Arabia, and on the Sahara desert, well-defined buoys are scarce. 204 The Steering of Steamers. So many elements enter into the steering of a steamer, and their effects are so conflicting, that any attempt at an analysis of them would be alto- gether out of place in a practical seamanship. We shall therefore attempt an analysis. It will be assumed that, except when it is-stated that there is a hurri- cane blowing, the force of the wind is less than twelve. Referring to Fig. 70, Plate LXXVIII, if we are on the bridge in an emergency and wish to find out which direction the stern will go. we may use the following approximate formula: in which the different letters represent the different forces acting, and giv- sents the direction the stern will go. If there is time, plot the different acting forces on a diagram and solve graphically. , X 3.0273745 15-i'; F X z ■ A h (S— A S)(S— 1 72364739 ing them their proper sign, we may calculate the resultant, its sign repre- 207 Goo-Goo's Feet.

Fitzpatrick's Speech. On this, tlie eighth day of February, in the fourth year of our exist- ence at the Navy school, do we take it upon ourselves to bury Math and Skinny. To eulogize the subjects separately would be a task too great for a normal mind which has ever been loyal to the cause of unceasing representation on the respective trees. Suffice it. then, that my words be confined to those who have made our lives one continual round of pleasure without entirely neglecting the few who received the highest marks ranging between 2.5 and minus infinity. Math we loved; not of our own accord, but because of our intense good-will for Pop. As I remember him. he was a mighty lad of many integral signs, and displayed his fatherly spirit by giving us such simple exams as to excite the wrath of his able assistants; but one in particular whom we unexpectedly heard from later in the line of the elasticity of Fremont’s shoes and the tensile strength of the necessary shoe-strings. This devoted friend was deserving of a tender thought, without the use of a lynching apparatus, whenever lie hove in sight, because he had a great fondness for the wooden section and could not bear to see them gayly enjoying the rights and comforts of the higher sections after that memorable exam in Calc. Look not upon me as if 1 were talking so many words, because 1 have my information from experience. Again he assumes the role of one of the chiefs, and delights in giving such probs as to cause Bill Kit to throw chalk in every direction, emphasizing such actions with hot words of praise for the author, while poor old Bill Bruff hangs out in the other corner, occasionally sending forth a few damns and counting the seconds to the end of such misery. All this while, where is the wooden section but under the blinking and admiring eyes of Sniggy the beloved, whose intense belief in his own savoir causes those in his midst to grunt and groan and ask that the most intricate probs be explained, which, of course, is promised on some future date; but. like his day of reckoning, it never comes. “Why don't you use formula Q? is heard more than once in that silvery tone with limits of and — oc. much to the bewilderment of “Studs” and “Xoggie,” who, from the expression on the latter's face, imagine that the old boy is trying to play jokes on the “Bull. who is giving his undivided attention, hoping thereby to get a better hold on his 2.5. Young Woolsey was a peach, but. like all good things, he was not to remain with us; and for the many good turns he has done us, I hope to have the pleasure of drinking his health on some future date when we can look back on these happy moments through clouds of smoke. I fear, my dear Cit. that I have allowed myself to linger too long without bringing you and yours into prominence, for which forgive me. because in the course of time I hope to repay you doubly for the wait. The announcement of the birth of Skinny into our course by your basso profundo voice caused no litt’c anxiety after the timely warning of the High Priest Jerry Morgan; and I. for one. found the chalk in vour department a delicious brand, though Xora Neal tried to in- stitute the new custom of chewing lead-pencils: however, when you take to advertising your business, come to 1901 and we will give you a great send-off with sufficient dynamite to cause a little anxiety about the height of flight and the energy expended in Watts. It was bad enough in the beginning, but beyond comparison when Roxie arrived on the scene to cheer up the situation by spooning with Studs and winking at Guy Castle, while both returned the same with an overdose of cavcnne pepper. Do you for one moment fail to realize that, due to the teachings of the great Paul, you are prepared, to analyze compounds unknown to the outside world? If so, reflect a moment to the days when in the dress of purity we 226 BURIAL OK MATH AND SKINNY. joyfully wandered to the dear old Lab—where most of the time was taken up in making prairie cocktails and soaking our dutiful brothers with the water bottles, while Paul wrote Greek formulas or made a whining remark that somebody had opened that bottle of carbon bi sulphide. Even though you did give us fours if we didn’t bat your question on the exam, you were a good spirit and not to be forgotten. “Uniform: Rain Clothes, was a sign that was a necessity in a certain room: for what reason nobody can tell, but all that is necessary is to be an inmate of that room and you will say. “Quite right! Robby has his following, and it is no small one. though he is said to have a knack of getting even with people who swipe his dances; but I fear the rub is the other way around. lloogie’s in- genious methods of oiling dynamo cylinders are worthy of note, but his indiscriminate order of dealing out probs that would make the gods shudder with terror ought to be recorded in our private diaries with in- scriptions by the author. ‘I can’t give the youngsters any advice on the subject, because they know it all by now: but I will say to the plebes that they had better give up spooning Sunday afternoons and come down to my room where we can work Skinny probs to our hearts’ content, and they will find my methods of considerable aid to them in attending the Saturday tea parties next winter. Hamner's Speech. Liest thou there so low, the form of two we hated and despised? Innumerable troubles have been caused from thee, and as we cannot separate thee even in death, we bury thee as one body. Thy fate will be the same as that of all thy tribe,—thou wilt go down, down into that bot- tomless pit from whose bourne no traveler returns, but others born to thy mighty name will chastise classes yet to come until the end of time. For three and a half long years we have followed thee pas a pas, and thou hast ever torn us limb from tree: but thy tree of life has been as the dragon which Hercules slew, when one head was cut off nine more sprung out in its place, and we have sat upon thy highest branches, and some have passed to where beyond thy voices there is peace. But by hard work and toil we have at last captured thee, and brought thee as a victim to the feet of Tecumseh. the great god of the 2.5. who has been our side partner in all our troubles. There is no telling what would become of thy poor body if we left it to him, for “Do unto others as they did unto you is his motto, and thou hast never shown mercy or the pleasant side of life to living man. 229 Our eves are blinded with a mist, something which kept the Garden of Eden green before the usual trouble of the rain; but even through this mist thy faults stand out as clear as ever the tower of Babel did. and whomsoever touches thee must needs be thrown into confusion; for thy text-books are incomprehensib.e. W hen one of our noblest arose in the section-room and said: Sir. the book says that ‘after proceeding thus far the student will readily understand the following, but 1 have labored, lo! these many minutes, and have not yet understood it. the In- structor gazed upon him with pity and replied in a calm voice: The book says 'student!' 'student!' Oh, he is a self-contained man beyond compare who comes up to the bulletin-board and unexpectedly sees thy name and his on the same paper, with a large S’ after his, and goes back to his room with a smile on his face, joy in his heart, and does not wish you harm. When first we learned that thou wert dead, our eyes, albeit unused to the melting mood, dropped tears as fast as the Arabian trees their medicinal gum: but not tears of grief.—tears of pure joy were these, for at that time we did not dream that as a parting shot thou hadst cast us upon the tender mercies of the Nav. Department. Therefore, we moan thy death. Let the procession drive on. Cardinal Speaks. The Cit spake these words, and said: I am the head of the Skinny department: thou shah bone no other books but mine. Thou shalt not bone Seamanship, nor Steam, nor anything but Skinny and Math; but thou shah grease and keep sat, for knowledge availeth nothing. Thou shalt learn the definitions as they are in the text-books, for the words, and not the sense, is what we are after: for in six days we give lessons that thou couldst not learn in a month; therefore, expect to be unsat and do not weep thereat. Remember thou the law of Avogadro. that ecpial volumes of all gases under like conditions of temperature and pressure, contain the same number of molecules. Remember that thou shah bone Math and Skinny; six days shalt thou bone and bust, and spend the seventh in boning to keep sat. 230 Remember thou Hooke’s law: stress varies as strain. Do not lay thy hands upon the terminals of a dynamo, for thus will it be short-circuited and burn out the armature. Remember all formulae that ye have had both in Skinny and Math, for ye will need them in the Nav department. I am the light, saith the actinic ray; and he that understandeth me, though he be wooden, yet shall he be wise and never bilge. We brought nothing into the Skinny department; therefore, it is certain that we shall take nothing away. We asked them for marks and they gave us R. Stone. Greasing hath given, but the exam hath taken away; blessed be the name of grease. O let me know the days until I graduate, that 1 may be certified how long before I commence to live. Deliver me from all my savoir and make me not a rebuke unto the wooden. Glory be to Woolsey; to his son. and to the Cit. Allen. O Skinny, thou hast been our finish from one year unto another. Before tlie X-ray was brought forth or ever Apjohn was known, thou didst appear as Retnsen. Thou returnest men unto Plebe year; thou sayest. “Try again. John Rodgers”; for fifty pages are in thy sight as but a single lesson; seeing that they are passed over by study in the night. Skinny, we yield thee readily: and remember thou, O Nav. thy end approaches, for now is Joie risen from his sleep and is become on thy account a night owl. Math is born of a desire to lengthen the course of Naval Cadets and to fill us with misery. He conieth up like a shadow and catcheth the Naval Cadet in stays. O Woolsey. look not so hard upon us. Thou hast set our busts be- fore thee, and our secret gougings appear in the light of thy countenance, and when thou art angry all 2.5's are gone from the Second Class: and O Woolsey, teach us to number our pages, that we may never be reported. All ’departments are not the same departments: but there is one de- partment of 2.5, that of Math; one of 1.5, that of Skinny; and one of marks infinitesimal, that of Nav. As in Plebe year all do die. so in graduation shall all be made alive: but every man to his own mind: Ole to his pipe: Felix to his jug: and. lastly. Jack Fremont, who shall put down all authority: yea. verily, he shall put his enemies under his feet. A Stone giveth no marks but receiveth pebbles. 23' In the midst of quarters we arc in the presence of death’s head, yet who would be so ungenerous as to refuse sausages? I heard a voice from the instructor, saying. Right, exactly right, Mr. Fowler, and you are in a bad way. too. Our Plebe Math department, who art gone, cursed be thy name. Thy kingdom has went. Thy will be done on lower classmen as it was on us. Give them daily the lemniscata of Bungaroff as it was given us, and lead them into Cotterell and Slade, but deliver us from Unwin. Allen. Allen. Behold, I show you a mystery. Fitzpatrick makes a 3.67 on the Math exam. Forasmuch as it hath pleased the Academic Board in its wisdom to remove from amongst 11s the deceased Math and Skinny, who have made CalTcry's course so long that all our ages are as nothing compared with his: let us grease not and no longer gouge, but with a generous esprit de corps” heap up marks, knowing in the world to come that we shall gather B. T. U.s. Most unmerciful regions infernal, take unto thyself thy sons. Math and Skinny, we commit your body to the deep, looking for the general resur- rection by classes who are to follow and on trees which arc to come: and at this resurrection the Second Class shall give forth her tea party, and so also shall the Third Class, and the highest marks of those who bone not shall be a 1.5: but be ye not discouraged, for as Vernon has a 2.5. so in the end shall all be sat. Glory be to Woolsey: to his son, and to the Cit. Allen. CADKT’S ROOM. CADET’S DREAM AFTER HOP. Question. How doth the little molecule, In joy, grief or vice versa, Employ throughout the livelong day.

I answer that the living rose can never lose its hue; Thus is it with the image that my heart contains of you. Each beauteous face that I shall see will only do its part To graven all the deeper your picture on my heart. You say that warmly proffered love so very often dies; That I shall soon forget when half the world between us lies. I answer that the vase which holds some flower’s lovely scent. Forever keeps the perfume which never will be spent. My soul is but the vase. love, and its sweet perfume is you: Should the fragrance of the flower ever think the flower untrue? You say that the remembrance of my lips’ caress to yours Will fade away and leave me when 1 sail for foreign shores. 1 answer that the hills and dales of Nature's great emotion Are not at all more constant than the soft fires of devotion. The imprint of a loved one’s kiss can never be effaced. The message from your lips to mine will never be erased. Lovingly yours, Sidney M. Henry, U. S.

An inferior refrigerator frequently means tainted food. A germ proof, hygienic, scientificallv-built refrigerator is well nigh the most important of household necessities, and should be selected with greatest care. EXPERT REFRIGERATOR KNOWLEDGE is not pos- sessed by the average purchaser. To such the opinion of those whose interest it is to buy the best and who make it their business to know the best should have great weight. It should be a convincing argument that Famous Hotels, Restaurants, Cafes, Institutions, as well as the United States Navy are using Lorillard Refrigerators The best clear, white, opal glass lining, securely and accurately fitted with aluminum moulding (non-corrosive) at all joints and corners, is a feature of the Lorillard, which makes it absolutely non-absorbent and germ-proof, ami sweet and clean as a china dish.

Perhaps you are doing even worse than this. As a business proposition you should save at least ten per cent, of your salary. Life insurance is the greatest aid of the thrifty. As one of the agencies and conveniences of modern civilization you should use it. Divide your salary by ten. Use the tenth for life insurance and rest content. The naval officer is not a money-maker. All the more reason for him to be a saver. Any company is better than no com- pany. But beyond this, there is a differ- ence in companies. Do not insure until you have compared several companies. Then write to us. We make the terms right.

In fact, I like a cocktail when, towards evening, tlie fatigues of tlie day begin to tell on me. Some people like a cocktail as an appetizer, but everybody who likes a cocktail likes a good one. l or a good while I have kept in my house, whether in the country or in town, the Heublein Club Cocktails in bottles, more for con- venience than anything else. I knew they were good and I liked them, but just why they wore so good did not occur to roe until someone, speaking of the vast ■|uantities of these that the Messrs. Heublein must make in a 1 batch.' led me to this sort of reasoning: Barkco|iers and every one's self in mixing cocktails necessarily cannot have a uniform ami exact quantity of ingredients in each one. A few drops more or less of either ingredient greatly changes the nature of the product. In a great laboratory when- quantities like the Chib Cocktails are made at a mixing.each article is accurately weighed or measured, and the com- pound is following an exact formula. This insures that each and every coekiail or bottle of cocktails put up shall l e precisely correct in its com| ositioii. Again recalling tlie fact that age is necessary to the proper blending of all liquors, it occurred to me that these lottled cocktails, by the time they are used by the con- sumer, may have already been months or even years in bottle, hence that the blending must be |« rfeet. Reasoning thus, I feel constrained to tell my friends about it, as I know a goodly numlier of them enjoy a perfect cocktail. I have found tlie several brands prepared by the Heublein Brothers. Manhattan, Mar- tini, Whiskey, Holland Gin, Tom Gin, Vermuth and York, are excellent. FOR SALK BY ALL FIRST-« LASS DKALKRS G. F.
