termincd manner with which she
walked across the kitchen floor. to IL
warm spot behind the range. and sat
down as if she had come to stay.
Hardie was delighted at the prospect
of Il new playfellow. and wanted to
play with her Immediately. but
mamma. who was i'm the kitchen

head. saving, she was afraid Kittic

tears that came to the sweet blue

the stranger might remain his reply
was. "No. she must he driven out"
Then all three i'm turn. papa, mamma

He wis lying fiat on the floor before

to which abrupt proceeding she offer
ed not the slightest resistance, but
looked up into the little bays face
with an expression that said. "It's all
right as long as it's YOU" "That set
ties it," said papa, "the cat stays"
And for some years after. she was IA
prominent member of the family.
Many and many a time has Hardie
rocked her to sleep in his willow
rocking chair, and if ever his play
became too rough she would unsheath

II the ship should carry yards or light

The next step is to unship all STAN
chions and remove such bulkheads as
arc in the way of the battery. The tor
pedo tubes are nov placed in position
and the steel netting lowered for de-
Tense against attacks from these weap-
ons. The binnacles of the standard and
other compasses are also removed and
taken out of the reach of any shot, also

at anchor springs are attached to each
cable and the boats are lowered and
dropped astern. Sometimes they are
anchored of at distance, with oars and
all movable objects dashed, or the plugs
may be drawn and each allowed to sink.
AS soon as the guns are east loose the
crews are divided into two parts-rifle-
men and Loarders-and as it may be de-
sirable to fire upon the enemy with some
of the great guns while the small arm
men are in action, one guns crew out of

main at quarters. The crews thus sta
toned are all armed as the Others and

In the days of Nelson and the old
navy there was no more thrilling specs
tacle than a hundred or more sailors,
with cutlasscs and pistols in hand. gath

times each ship was surrounded by u
high net to resist the attacking force.
Science has stepped in, however, and
modern vessels now attach Il steam hose
to the boiler, which melts away the ene-

when 1T finally becomes advisable to call
them away the order is, All hands re-

eNertion to clear the enemy's decks by
disabling or driving the men below.
The loa,tiers are followed very closely
by strong supporting bodies of riflemcn,
who cover and defend them, directing
their ire principally against the rifle
men OF the enemy. In addition to these
some OF the machine guns that have an
overlook fire must be ready to assist
and support these men. Topmen, sup
Piled with hand grenades, are supposed
to use them against the enemy while the
foregoing movements are in progress.
AS o o as the gun or fighting deck is
cleared the officer i'll charge has all lad
dcrs triced up or removed, detailing N
or more men to each hatchway for it's
defense. Should the boardcrs gain the
cnelny's deck the guns must be de-
pressed as much as possible in order that
there may be little or no danger to our
own men. AS long as the contest is
kept up, even after boarding, IL brisk fire
must be maintained and from as MANY
