The major-general had by this time exhausted all possible subjects of conversation with his host and sat silent, and Sam felt obliged to turn his attention to him, and was soon engaged in relating his experience in the Cubapines. Meanwhile Cleary had been conversing with the brave young lieutenant at his side and the reverend gentlemen beyond him.
Ted was at the observation ports in the tower and Officer Cleary at the other periscope. As the storm increased in fury the Dewey was buffeted about like an egg shell. Ted was nursing a severe bump on the head, having been dashed by the rocking of the boat against one of the steel girders.

They were ladies, handsomely dressed.
When at last our travelers arrived at the city of Gin-Sin, Sam learned that his regiment had proceeded to the Capital and was in camp there, and it would be impossible for him to leave until the following day. He stopped with Cleary at the principal hotel. The city was in a semi-ruined condition, but life was already beginning to assume its ordinary course.
