towards even ing the skies were altogether sooty and the low clouds scudded across the mastheads with terrific speed heap ing seas rolled up out of the immen sity of the southern ocean rising at the speeding ships flanks gurgling ghouishly as they looked aboard over the sixfoot bulwarks and dropped n few tons of water on the maindeck as a reminder of their strength well take in fore and mizzen

plenty to do then came an army of rain squalls marching across the roaring sea in thunder and lightning devastation dark shapeless figures hauled and cursed in the seething chaos of the full maindeck unseen demons howled and shrieked aloft above the worst the gale or squalls could do a blinding flash of lightning lit every inch of the ships laboring structure high upon tho upper main- topsail yard six shapeless yellow oil- skinned sailors fought profanely with the tormented sail the rain slashed down at them haul that reef tjvyklc tout screamed a voice its all adrift there was momentary blackness after tho lihtning flash then a second flash so swift as to almost blind the eyes but mary saw a yellow figure hurtle down out of that uppermost chaos a scream still on his lips his poor groping fingers catching at the black void the ropeyarns that were only meant to hold his oilskin trousers and jacket together to keep the water from wetting him more than necessary were unequal to holding his weight he fell and plunged into the sea man overboard she scrcamco she ran to the nearest lifebuoy cast it loose and flung it astern finding drake at her side surprisingly he had seen the man fall he was man enough to risk his ship by bringing her around to the sea but in that instant the gale struck down with all its belated fury and the big clipper- lay over until her rails were buried deep under thundering tons of water that swept away forever j11 change for the unlucky sailor astern better go below mary drake bawled in her ear he ran aft to help the helmsman but she did not

demanding a new umbrella because the root had blown off so dtiaroh a retired bri tish naval officer in the socialist he- view london and he adds that tho futility of this reasoning would have been exposed during the late war it it had not been that tho geographical position of the german bases made it possible for britain to pin their fleet within the confines ol the noith sea this former uaval officer goes on to say our cruiicrs were not called upon to protect our trade itom wholesale surface raiding and so their inability to do so was not exposed as it was u few german stiips did break out of tho north sea notably the mocwc and wolf and they sank our ships in the atlantic unhampered a medal was struck in germany to commemor ate the moewes exploit alter she had returned safely it has been pointed out that our regular fleet was powerless to deal with the submarine menace the i truth is that the task of maintaining the seven sea 1 as a private lake for the merchant snips ol any one nation is ludicrously beyond the power of the navies of today the tradeprotection excuse for j more cruisers is utterly fallacious the real reason for any nation wish- j ing 0 build cruisers is
