Foe Unites Btates Navy has h few admirals—more now than it bas| ever had at one time—and it Is ap parently determined that they shall Teosive their full measure of dis- tinction. Jt has often been said th. being a King is bard work—eo is being an Admiral. On the Wyoming, of course, every- thing ls done to make Admiral Fietoh- er’e lot leas hard, but there's never a minute in the day that he in per- mitted to forget that he an Admiral. No doubt he goes into his cabin some- times, closes the door tight and tries his best to forget it. Hut the very moment he pops his head out on the deck he'a the Admiral, with the or- det ways just at bis elbow, POMP THAT FOLLOWS A NAVY'S CHIEF. Admiral Fletcher lives tn a cabin with a stateroom and bath on the starboard side of the Wyoming, in the forward part of thp ship just abaft No. 3 turret with its two twelve- inch rifles, There is a five-inch gun, one of the secondary battery to repel torpedo attacks, directly over his cabin. In order that he may enjoy all the privacy a battleship permits, the starboard side of the forecastie is always kept clear. No one there @ave on the business of the ship, and visitors are not permitted to walk abreast of his cabin, because unthink- ing visitors are occasionally tempted peep into windows. © early morning, when the decks ® gKiven their customary washing down, care is taken that the Admiral shall not be dia turbed by noise. In the old ships, particularly the wooden ones, there was an “Admiral's walk,” a sort of balcony around the stern, where tho Commander in Chief might go to get away from the rest of the ship's c pany. But in the dreadnought class thers no place other than his cabin he may be entirely apart, In ceaseless attendance upon the Admiral ie a marine orderly who, wherever the Admiral goca, must fol- low about ten paces behind. This is not tn any sense for protection, but to provide him with some one to carry any message he may wish delivered. ‘The orderly stands at the Admiral's door when he is in his cabin, and | when he comes on deck for a stroll takes ition at the inboard side of ithe de and stands, ready to step forward at « signal from the Admiral, SOCIAL SIDE >F THE ADMIRAL'S LIFE, ‘The Hfo on board is for the Admiral & more or les# Kocial affair, because he has a mess.
