THE "YANKEE" ARRIVES OFF SANTIAGO On the twenty-first of July the "Yankee" arrived off Santiago.

The "Brooklyn" was the only warship on guard, and the absence of that grim line of drab-colored ships changed the whole appearance of the coast.
The "Brooklyn" seemed lonely, though she rode the seas proudly.

"See," she seemed to say, "I am monarch of all I survey"; and she looked every inch a queen, as she swayed slowly in the long ground swell, her ensign snapping in the brisk breeze and Admiral Schley's flag standing out like a board.

From our proximity to the shore we were enabled to obtain a better view than before.

Old Morro Castle, perched above the mouth of the channel, seemed battered and forlorn.
