Tiioy successfully secreted themselves on the vessel, and it was uot until she was well clear of Panama that their identity was made known. It was then too late to return them to their duties, and they shared in the welcome home .to the Waimana complement this morning. At present fchey are being detained by the military with a view .to securing their early return to America, when they, as "returned" boys, will hardly anticipate their arrival home as the draft did this morning.
