The ship is due to leave the dock at the foot of Spadina Avenue, Toronto, at 9:00 D.S.T., and is expected to arrive at Oshawa at approximately 4:30 Sunday afternoon. The sailing distance is 30 miles. This is .one of the very first cruises in the Navy League's pro- gram of summer activities and is the forerunner of an interesting season for sea cadets throughout Ontdrio. Donated to the Navy League in 1942, the "Oriole IV" was used by Naval Service during the | war. Since then, it has been re- | fitted and re-equipped and will be in commission until next October. | It will remain here on Monday, | June 28 making a trip from this | | port with additional sea cadets and will leave for Toronto on Tuesday June 29 at 9.00 a.m. with cadets | from "Vanguard" corps, Toronto, on | board. { Described as a ketch, the "Oriole | IV" has a Marconi rig and is a two-masted vessel with the main- | mast taller than the mizzen mast. It is distinguished from a yawl by the fact that the mizzen mast is for'ard of the water line. It car- ries a jib, staysail, mainsail and mizzen, When the sea cadets come on board they are given Station Cards, those in red being for. the Port Watch and those in green for the Starboard 'Watch. Each card' is numbered and by consulting the list of stations, a cadet learns at once | his position on the ship, and his | special duties, At intervals, the cadets Change Rounds the idea | being to give each lad a chance to learn each job. It follows that each boy has the thrilling experi- ence of a period at the wheel and those who are mechanically minded get their chance in the engine room. The training program includes such evolutions as 'Away Sea Boats," "Exercise Fire Stations," "Exercise Abandon Ship Stations'-- and all sailing manoeuvres are exe- cuted. Speeial instruction is given in duties of Quartermaster, Look Out, and Leadsmen, as well as the practical experiefice of working in the ship such as cleaning, scraping, sanding, painting, varnishing and the ever-present chore of polishing brass. Special instruction is also given in 'pilotage and navigation. The mail object of the cruise is to teach the sea cadets respect for the | wind, its direction, force and effect | on any ship. !
