SIR PROVO WILLIAM PARRY WALLIS.


midshipman ON the Cleopatra, and had
his first taste of action six months later,
when the Cleopatra succumbed to the
superior power Of the French frigate
Vile de Milan. The Cleopatra was res
cued after hauling down the British flag,
and the French frigate became the prize of
the Leander, fifty-gun ship, without a
shot being fired.
Wallis was made lieutenant in 1903,
when he was but seventeen years old. and
took part in the capture of Guadeloupe.
Four years later he was appointed to the
frigate Shannon, under Captain Broke,
and he is the only survivor of the great
naval duel which took place off Boston
harbor on the 1st Of June, 1918, between
that vessel and the American frigate Chesa-
peake. This encounter was one of the most
famous sea fights the world ever witnessed,
and though between single ships, ranks
second only to Trafalgar in British naval
annals. For his share in the battle young
Wallis received letter of appreciation
from the admiralty and sword from his
captain. His promotion was very rapid
afterward. In 1916 he was senior officer
during the Syrian war; in 1851 he obtained
full flag rank, and in 1857 he was appoint-
ed commander-in-chief on the southeast
coast of America. His promotion to vice
admiral followed in 1858, since which time
he has not been to sea, but was placed upon
the active list for life in recognition of his
long and creditable service.
Sir Provo is in feeble health, but his
mind is vigorous and his memory clear.
The one hundredth anniversary of his
birth was celebrated with fitting honors at
every British naval station.

tits related that at recent sham battle
young lieutenant, posted with his COM
pany behind wall, ordered his men to
6re at detachment Of troops who were
marching by.
The guns were loaded with blank
cartridges, and no harm was done; but
the detachment happened to be on the
same side of the sham fight as the COM
pany which had fired at it.
The commanding officer came riding
up.
''Why did you fire at those men:" he
demanded of the lieutenant hotly.
81 supposed they were the enemy"
said the lieutenant.
"And what led you to suppose they
were the enemy"
"Because my tailor was at the head Of
them, and saw my butcher in the
ranks. What else could suppose, sir:"

And watch you while you work.

The bulbs from worthless weeds;
Dig them ali up; that's easiest, and
You'll need the room for seeds.
