BLUEJACKETS HAVE LANDED AND HAVE SITUATION IN HAND landing artillery for drills ashore on the Island of Culebra, West Indies, where the l\ S. fleet is hold ins extensive winter maneuvers. SPENDING WINTER DOWN JN TROPICS Many Ft-llows From This Dis trict Who Enlisted In Navy Are Seeing The World And Enjoying Wurm Weather Many of the men from this dis trict who have enlisted in the Navy at the Navy Recruiting Station, 105 West Main street, Norfolk are spending the winter in the tropics and are of course enjoying them selves. When the temperature begins to fall and the waters of the?North Atlantic gets rough and throws' icy -sprays, the^ ships of the Navy start their way southward to warmer and more pleasant climes ? the West Indies. . Most of the ships base in Ckuanta namo Bay, Cuba and from there -operations begjn. Maneuvers, sham attacks on strategic points, and various drills* are carried out while in thfe tropics. At the Naval Station, Guantana inc Bay, Cuba, the athletic cham pionships are decided, each ship sending ashore many rooters to accompany their contender. The station boasts of excellent athletic fields, large grand stands, canteen and recreation rooms. The canteen prices are very reasonable and car ries, a stock most desired by a sailorman ? ice cream* in blcrck and cone form. seems to be the 'best seller. * souvenirs, post cards and candy the next best. The ath letes of each ship try to bring home the championships and the athfetes commence training long before the events with this object in mind. The competition Is keen and the men from each ship take great in terest in these events. Baseball, basket ball, track swimming, rowing. boxing. and wrestling, are the chief amusements. While we are either shivering or tightly wrapped in our overcoat% fearful of colds and their serious con?equenccs, the boys from this district who enlisted in the Navy are clad In cool white uniforms. There are ^wimming calls and men who cannot swim are token to shallow water for instruction in swimming, while iJie others swim about the ship. Life boats are in readiness for any who might tire, but this Is seldom the case with the swimmers of the Navy. Many interesting sights are wit nessed by the boys while on thi9 trip South. When the maneuvers are comple ted and the championships settled, the ships start north again, arriving hi their home ports in ns pleasant weather as when they left. 4 After arrival at their home ports the ships undergo repairs, and many of the men start home on leave.
