FIRST DRILL OF ‘ADMIRAL’ COTTER’S
NAVAL UNIT, OR SOMETHING LIKE IT
The rumor was abroad th»s morn
ing that a new naval unit was being
formed in Seward under the tutor
age of “Admiral” Frank Cotter, as
he was seen with members of his
crew undergoing preliminary training
in the vicinity of the north side of the
dock.
There are not many naval experts
in this vicinity, but it is presumed
by all that the “admiral” was en
gaged in exercises prescribed for be
ginners by the code.
Although the maneuvers were in the
nature of a mock cruise they were
very realistic, even to the point ol
equipment carried. The commissary
and culinary departments were out
fitted complete, and there were ample
guns and several rqunds of ammuni
tion.
The drill commenced at 7:30 o’clock
this morning and lasted until 10
o’clock, during which time “Admiral”
Cotter and “Vice Admiral” Martin
t
Banbury labored at the oars in an ef
fort to keep the ship headed toward
the strong south wind which was blow
ing and also to keep the heavy sea
from hurling the craft upon the
beach. In the meantime Chief Engi
neer Ben Sweezy labored with the en-1
gine, turning the wheel around and j
around in the manner usually eni- j
ployed by seamen when trying to j
start an engine when they‘intend to
make a cruise away from the plac*

It was thought at first the party*
was bound for a trip, but after a
couple of hours’ observation it was
evident, that they were not. At the
conclusion of the drill the boat was
beached and an express wagon re
lieved it of all cargo and equipment,
.vhich will probably be used at the
