But, oh, the pity of itt yy oe Funston has performed miracles since he came to take command We followed the line of fortifications which have so recently sprung up like magic. The big disappearing guns are all in place, and the soldiers are at work on the barbed wire entanglements in the valleys. We are safe enough from the Enemy's ships, for half the Atlantic fleet has come through the Panama canal to join the Pacific fleet, and 20 battleships and cruisers are off the water front. The line of fortifications skirts the bluff along the north side of Queen Anne hill, the guns commanding the valley, the ca Saimon bay and that barren plain which a little wh! L The valley is a network of entanglemen’ ie mined, as, of course, is Puget sound. Fort Lawton is isolated and will have to take care of itself. An unbroken line of entrenchments has been thrown up west of Queen Anne hill, past the far end of Lake Union, and ending at the Latona bridge and Lake Washington. There again the line of fortifications begins, frowning down upon Lake Washington from the Latona bridge to Mount Baker park. More entrenchments and entanglements in Rainier valley, and Beacon hill bristles with big guns, which cover both Rainier and Du- wamish valleys, while entrenchments extend across the latter valley all the way to the bluffs of Alkf; which are also heavily fortified. Thus the circle is complete. eecvee Yes, we are ready. Nothing remains now, that I can see, but to The only line of trans- The South.
