...Pulanski, furious when one of the men discovered a piece of string in his ice cream, had threatened to have it out with the mess steward. Ashore at Naples, three men had been beaten up by their fellows. Captain Gregory clapped two of the assailants in the brig. At Genoa the ship was delayed when part of the crew staged a protest meeting on the dock. After intervention by the U. S. Consul, the prisoners were released, to be sent to California as first-class passengers in another ship. A seaman who gave information to the President Garfield...
...taking command last November stated that henceforth neither the names of officers nor the movement of troops would be mentioned in dispatches. For his friend, Marshal Badoglio broke that rule last week. The world quickly learned that leading the advance from the south were those swankest of regiments, the Genoa Dragoons and Aosta Lancers.

The odd thing about what Guarneri had to say last week as to Italy's position if she must face economic sanctions (see p. 23) was that his estimate tallied...

Just before the starting gun, when it was too late for Konow to follow suit, Skipper Shields broke out a long-tailed Genoa jib and under it his boat outfooted Norna all the way around a windward and leeward course. Next day, in a light breeze that favored the defender, she won again, this time with four minutes to spare. The last race of the series was sailed on one of those muggy, misty afternoons when...
