"Oh, forget that sort of nonsense, won't you, Dan, old fellow?" begged his chum. "Just get your eye on the lovely country we're going through." It was just about the first of June. Our two young travelers had come by train, from Baltimore to a little country junction. Thence they had traveled, briefly, by trolley, to Odenton.
Dalzell's appointment, on the other hand, came from one of the two United States Senators from that state. And here Dave and Dan were, on a trolley car from Odenton, rapidly nearing Annapolis. At the forward end of the car was a small compartment set apart for the use of smokers Dave and Dan did not smoke; they had take seats in this compartment because they wished to be alone.
Early in the forenoon the entire brigade of midshipmen, in uniform, was marched into town behind the Naval Academy band. Scores of Navy officers, with their ladies, went along. A lot of the townspeople followed in the big rush to Odenton and Baltimore. From there two sections of a special train conveyed the Annapolis host to Philadelphia.
"The nearer we get to Annapolis the more nervous I'm getting." "You'd better drop off, then," hinted Dave ironically, "and take the next car back to Odenton and Baltimore. What earthly good would a Naval officer be who was going to get nervous as soon as he came in sight of an enemy?" "But I wouldn't get nervous in the sight the enemy," flared up Dan Dalzell.
How does it feel, Danny boy, going away for good?" "Am I really going away for good?" grinned Dalzell. "I thought it was only a dream." "Well, here's Odenton. You'll be in Baltimore after another little while, and then it will all seem more real." "Nothing but Gridley will look real to me on this trip," muttered Dan. "Really, I'm growing sick for a good look at the old home town."
