A series of intimate views which shows the life of our jolly tars during their work and play hours. In it are shown the drills of the cadets, both afloat and ashore. Artillery and boat drills, and views of the sailors climbing up into the crows-nest of the old frigate Constellation, are all revealed by the eye of the camera. The jackies are also shown partaking in their favorite sports and exercises, such as wrestling, boxing, high diving, etc. The cameraman just happened to be on hand when a sham battle was in progress, and obtained some excellent views of the marines landing from the boats and engaging the enemy forces in skirmishes. An infantry drill and football game on the Annapolis parade grounds are also shown. A fleet of battleships, destroyers and submarines passes in review before the camera. Written by
