At “Adjutant’s Call” the compa- nies stepped off from their company parades as one‘man and formed line to the left of the field music. The alignments were perfected and then the famous field music of the Fourth Infantry executed the “Sound Off.” The red breast -ords of the field musicians, which attracted the at- tention of the spectators, are a mark of honor resulting from a battle in the Mexican war, when the musicians of the regiment cap- tured and served against the enemy a battery of artillery.

A rude ship’s “!og,” painted in native ideograms on a thin cedar board in the ca‘:n of the ill-starred vessel, revealed the tragedy that rode at the helm of the three-mast- ed boat on its aimless journey of 11 months across the broad Pacifi:. Left Yokohama December 5 In the barely legible log was written the story of the voyage, which started when the vessel—the Ryo Yei Maru—put out with its crew of 12 from the fishing port of Misaki, near Yokahema, on Decem- jber 5, 1926. Motor trouble soon developed and the hapless craft was carried by currents and storms. farther and farther to sea, while the men worked tirelessly but in vain to repair the engine. The scant rice supply dwin- dled and on March “, three months after the start of the voyage, the last grain of rice was gone. Soon, too, the water casks were empty. “Our last hope is gone,” the mas- ter of the boat laconically wrote in his log. “Our fonu is gone, we are lost.” From thi‘ time the log of the ill- fated ship tells little save thoughts of despair and. resignation. to death. Drifted Many Days There apparently followed long days of drifting under the summer sun for the ship an‘ its crew of 12.
