reply to tue captains expiammntion. it mtext
weimt to I'ort do i'nix , wimere it rernaimmed soy-

1mm coming here was to cable. It is a singular
coincidence that the war ship Gioucester itt'-
riveti here at he samime time as time Ravens-
dale , anchored near It and remained all
imight. . 'War ships ustmaily renmain omtiy iotmg
enough to get dispatcimes and thea leave Ira-

asked Captain hluko.

"I vlll not tell you , but timey were British , "
