—Solo OF Talt INK= LIR On BOAJLD TIM Boa-In
H. AL training ship were two boys, named respectively
Moore and Damen, of whom the first is said to be the
worse. The story goes that they were pretty free in their
dealing with the rights of property, perhaps betas ultra.
communist in their ideas. Liberty in this didnoend to
equality or fraternity. Moore seems to bar. syranaiaad
over the other, and to put the produce of his own robberies
into Damietta' bag. The latter was not anxious of the
extra responsibility and risk, and threatened to confess
all, when Moore, with that charming inconsistency
oreasionally seen in Comniuni4a, declared he'd murder
Dmeett. So goes the We, which adds that Dummies inten-
tion remained, when Moore sot posisiossaa of a ...in...
iwyone threw away the scabbard, and with the weapon
aim Dossett lying in his hammock. Somebody
approached, and Moore is said to have given the bayonet
• hasty thrust into the hammock withoot aim, piercing
the hammock cloth and the blankets, but fortunately not
injuring the boy. Moore was not then detected, but next
bets said to have broken into the sick bay, opened the cup-
board containing poison. smashed one bottle and selected
another containing oil of tar, which he poured into
Doeiett's tea. The powerful smell and taste weretoo much
for Dossott, who did not drink ; hut two other lads were
tars enough to swallow the scented compound, and they
are ill in the sick bay. The affair was believed to be
traced to Moore, who was taken before the captain, and as
be woo unable to deal with the case, the lad is to be triad
