The old man being away, I spent my watch in leisure, as an admiral's orderly takes orders from no one but the admiral. After sampling a few of his mild Manila cigars and running off a few letters on the typewriter, I climbed aloft to the quarter- deck, where the capstan and brass tompions of the big aft eight-inch guns shone bright in the moonlight. What a night this was! Never on such a night could Dewey's fleet have passed unseen the forts of Corregidor. There, stretching over the mountain-si...de of Vic- toria, lay the illuminated City of Hong Kong; the wavelets of the Pearl River, with its myriads of junks and sampans, seemed to dance in the moonlight; off at the en- trance, from the tower of a light-house, a powerful revolving search-light cast its rays beyond the horizon of the China Sea. Here 98 Soldier Ashore and Afloat and there dotting the harbor were the " dogs of war " of the American, British, German, and French navies; large junks with colored Chinese lanterns at the bow, which treml)led in the soft breeze, and an eve on either side, to guide it on its way, passed to and fro, like phantoms of the mist.
