The swinging of the bridge was accomplished in just fifty-eight minutes, aJl of the machinery working to perfection.

About twenty colored men, the remainder of the recruits, enlisted here by Lieut. Hudson, will leave this morning for Topeka on the 8:40 Santa Fe train.

Only once did a fire alarm break in on the noisy celebration of the "Glorious Fourth." At 12:30 last night an alarm was turned in Fourth and Arch streets. A falling skyrocket landed in the the world that men-of-war visit. Also, he knows the haunts of these ports of of the men-o-war men.

He has visited them all himself before he became a Legs. So he makes his tour unerringly, in Shanghai or Trangler. "Jim," says he to a seaman whom he finds on the outskirts of a town, say, on the China station a seaman who has been absent for days, and is now sodden and reckless "Jim. I've got ye." If Jim is a wise man, he sees that his Jamboree is all over, and ups with his. bands.

If he Is unwise, he starts to poke the master-at-arms, lamp is not lit gets away with his attempt once in twenty times. The other nineteen the Legs collars him and takes him to the stick. WATCHING THE BOTTLES. Another hefty Job of the chief master-at-arms is the watching of hundreds of men at meal times to whom beer is served out. The Legs serves out the beer in bottles, and the men are required to" drink it on the spot, and are not permitted to take it forward, for fear of their stowing it up in secret places for sizable drunks.

It would seem out the question for the Legs to serve out the bottles and to watch the disposition made of the beer by all hands. But he does it. The man who watches his chance Mrs, E. Kantrowitz, 328 Delaware St. barn owned by Mr.

He can't be a first mate in the matter of using his tongue. American man-o'-war's men will stand for a slugging at -the hands of the Legs if they think they deserve it, but they will noi stand for a tongue-lashing at his hands.

There were bucko tonguelashers of chief masters-at-arms in the old navy, but; none of them lasted very long. Their bluejacket victims got them ashore and sent them back to their ships with only excuses for noses, ears and other features "necessary to the facial equipment of master-at-arms. The master-at-arms of today is a man whose blue-Jacket service taught him every trick of the naval sailor, every phase of fo'c'sle life. He cannot be fooled, cajoled or outwitted. He may be won over in time by diplomatic shipmates, however.

The bluejacket who is crafty enough to get the good will of the Legs of his ship makes a lot of sea room for himself. works himself into the class of the overlooked. The Legs has very sharp eyes, but; then, he cannot see at all on occasion, and he would not be human did he not have a few favorites for shipmates. All In all, however, he 4a pretty Impartial, Ha may go ashore tonight and have a whirl on the beach with a fellow chief petty officer and tomorrow morning throw the same fellow chief petty officer Into the brig and double-iron him there. Such a thing doe not quash friendship.

The men forward know what the Legs is rated for. The Legs, a generous man became he ia a nervy and courageous man, never depresses his little flock of brigged ones by arns such as these. In truth, some of the Legses are tenderhearted fellows enough. There are mem-ories of a big- stern-faced bruiser of an Irish Legs a man who wouldn't say ten words a day unless he was spoken to who used to slink into a man-o'-war brig at midnight and unlock the irons clasping the wrists of the prison-era, that they oould sleep Jn comfort, asking them only to snap-lock the wrlst-irona themselves early in the morning, in order that the officer of the deck might not discover the lenience. AN IMPORTANT TOUR.

It Is the business of the Legs to tour tht phlp dozens of times a day, to see what he can- see. A very Important tour is the one he makes just before quarter and inspection in the morning. The ship is then supposed to be in shape for the skipper's approval, and the men's wearing gear is required to be all stowed In ditty bags. It never is. There is always to be found a shirt 1 hastily thrown here, a shoe lying loose there, a neckerchief and lanyard hanging over a ditty box.

This gear the Legs gathers in impartially, no matter to whom it belongs, and thrusts it into the bag he keeps for the purpose. The only way the owners of the gear may get It back is by reporting themselves at "the stick" I. to the commanding officer for dilatoriness Jn stowing their stuff, which means, generally, a lopping off of V.berty privileges. On man, say, Jn twenty, does this. The others, dis- covering their losses, make a hopeless effort to induce the Legs to give their gwar up.

Legs never does this well, he never does it unless he has inadvertently gathered in an article of frear belonging to a man he particularly likes. Every month the contents of the Legs' bag of gear thus accumulated are sold aboard at auction to the highest bidder among tht bluejackets. After quarters, "the stick." The brigged prisoners are brought before the commanding officer by the chief (master-at-arms. Usually, the Leg is the complainant.
