the Associated Press representative
that Captain Garllck had refused to
tell him anything about waat tne sit
uation was aboard, and also declined to
rive him a course to steer or nan e the
port to which the Minnesota was to
be taken. '
A heaving- line from the venetla put
cigars and newspapers aboard the
Iaaua and the Minnesota, Captain
Mitchell roared his thanks through a
megaphone; a wave of the first of
ficer's hand was tho response from the
Minnesota's bridge.

working today. Tbo tug Dauntless was
assisting the Iaqua, and the weather
was good. The .Minnesota may be ,
