Caption

Come Five! Come Seven!, Spanish-American War, 18 June 1898, (1899). American fighters playing dice on board ship, bound for Cuba. 'A "crap" game down in the hold, far from the eyes of the officers, was quite as exciting as one could wish to see. Very often as much as thirty or forty dollars would depend on whether it would "come five" or "come seven"; but nobody complained. The losers were jeered and ridiculed by their companions, but not a single display of ill-temper did I see in that entire body of men'. From "The Little I saw of Cuba" by Burr McIntosh, with photographs by the author. (In 1898, American actor and journalist William Burr McIntosh went to Cuba to cover the Spanish-American War for "Leslie's Weekly" as a reporter and photographer). [F. Tennyson Neely, London & New York, 1899]
