The cruiser's decks are swept of everything which is not a weapon ati or some instrument auxiliary to death. No bulwark or rail; the ship is stripped, and in her naked strength--three hundred and odd feet of shod death.

The choir, augmented by a small string band, is grooped round the wind-jam, a harmonium, with a slight cold due to exposure. Between decks the whole 'ship's company is mustered, men are wedged nto all kinds of uncomfortable places, chairs are placed for the officers. The Favorite Hymn. The chaplain appears, accompani- ed by the captain. The latter seats himself facing the ship's company, the chaplain steps to the improvis- ed prayer-desk and gives out a hymn. It might have been an order to'open fire so quick is the response, as from lusty lungs there rolls out the soldiers' and sailors' favorite, 'Fight the Good Fig The service is a shortened form of evensong with the special pray- ers used daily in His Majesty's navy, to be found in any prayer book. The men's voices are uplifted in the response, augmented this time by a chorus of seagulls. With the first hymn they started a shrill se: ries 'of cries, but now they have got into their stride. = There is the ground base of the distant waters, the whispering swish of the caress- ing waves blending with the voices of some hundreds of men, but softly of the sea. there = were visualized and actualized the opening words "of from the Benedigtus, *'O all ye worke of the Lord, bless ye the Lord, praise him - and magnify him forever.' And around us and upholding us the moving mystery of the sea, fit symbol of Ged and His protecting arms. The captain--a fine figure, alert, with a penetrating eye and clear- cut features--reads the lesson re- verently; and the faces of the ship's ley Sompa purn to him. The men lis keen interest in a story hich tells of a nation's struggles and desperate defence. In those faces one reads the tale of what is kiown i in the navy as "a happy ship.' , The Angel Warrior.

He identifies himself with the men, speaks of the soldier qualities of St. Michael, tells phem what the sword-bearer of God stands for, and appeals to them to stand for the same ; indeed, he takes it for granted, so he can. Much has-been written about th: religious and irreligious condition of our bluejackets. In the tracts which ask for money to missionize him he is either represented as a demi-god of a demijohn. The "poor Jack" order of pamphlet is resent- ed by the whole of the navy, from admiral to A.B. Everyone by this time ought to know that a blue- jacket is a highly trained, intelli- gent man, disciplined and respon- sible. A drunkard has no place in His Majesty's navy. The men listen to the padre, quiet, intent, and let one who know them add they will be as serene and quiet in that day, it may be but a few hours, when the cruiser moves on at full speed, while crews stand at the guns, men wait in the am- munition passages, the captain in the conning tower the gunnery of- ficer in the fire control, the engines whirling at mad speed, while stok- ers in the depths below "oil'"' and "feel" and shovel and rake as the cruiser rushes into action. One more hymn then the blessing. A destroyer loom ooms up out of the oreeping mists of evening, slows down, listens for a few minutes, ex- changes signals, and then is off again to continve that watch which is first cousin to prayer. SAVED BY A FALL. An Explorer's Experience in North- ern Canada. Jousneyiag through northern Canada by pack horse and canoe, Mr. F. A. Talbot had some very lively experiences. On one ooca- sion, which he describes in "The New Garden of Canada," his party were riding along the top of a cliff that dropped sheer down some three hundred feet into the McLeod val- The trail along the cliff was very narrow and riven with small ditch- es, The Jart y had strung out to a length of half a mile or so, our pace to a slow walk. The foremost ones, including 'myself, had drawn up at an ugly wound in the cliff face, Wheps a gang of rock drillers Yer usily eng tearing out a path for the Fufeay, which 'si summit of this intently wal De men disen- gage huge chunks of rock, pry and 0 2e warp them to the oli wy and] then pitch them over, to go hop-! ping, skipping, and jumping down| the almost perpendicular wall with increasing velocity, until they end-i ed their mad career with a loud re-| port and a terrific splash in: the river. We had pulled our horses tol the brink of the cutting, to watchi the work at the closest possible! range, when a wild cry broke out behind. Turning round, we saw one of the members of the party coming along like the wind, and pulling furiously at his steed. His horse had bolted.' It made straight for the cliff, and when it reached the edge, made sharp swerve, and drove right in us. As it swung round from cer- tain death, we lost sight of . the rider, and to our horror we saw the saddle go over the cliff. "Good heavens, he's over! cried; We slipped off our horses and rant to the spot, expecting to see the battered form of our friend lying at the bottom of the cliff. We crawl- ed out on hands and knees, but could see no trace of him, except the saddle, caught on a projecting rock about ten feet below: '""What's the matter? Who ate) you looking for?' asked a trem- bling Ce nd us. It was our friend Charlton. W were looking for his mangled hod and here he was beside us, as whi as a sheet, and rubbing "his right shoulder pretty vigorously. "Gee, that was a close shave What happened 1' '"The girth snapped just as the) brute swerved at the edge. Hel pitched me to the ground in a small ditch, and threw the saddle thei other way, over the cliff." Charlton looked badly scared, as well he might. Had not the saddle, given way as it did, horse and rider would certainly have gone over. Got Him Both Ways. Diner--You charge me more for) this steak than you used to.
