Capt Miller, in charge OF the New York
naval militia. had conference with Assistant
Secretary McAdoo yesterday in relation to
sending the New York militia to sea on a
United States naval vessel for summer prac-
tice cruise. The Navy Department does not
wish to follow the practice OF drilling men of
the militia on shore and on ships in the i'm
mediate vicinity of their homes, believing that
9 better opportunity can be afforded the re-
serves to familiarize themselves with practical
seamanship by sending them out Of sight of
land. Capt. Miller talked the matter over with
Mr.. McAdoo. and left for New York to Law the
subject before Governor Flower. who will in
form Secretary Herbert BY letter whether or
not the reserves will go. There is no opposi-
ton, IL is understood, TO the plan, the only sug
gessed difficulty being in the men belonging to
the militia being able to obtain leave of absence
from the places at which they are employed.

answering the Japanese ministers
said:

EOYS ON a CRUISE.

How Two Youngsters Became Acquainted
with a New Teacher.
Two boy relatives of mine, who have
been spending their summer holiday
at tiny seaside town in Sussex. have
recently become possessors OF a small
sailing boat. and delightful time
they have had for the last month.
OF course they can handle q boat
well. Their happy childhood was
spent in quaint fishing village on the
east coast of England. and as tiny
boys of six and eight they were con-
tinually taken out by the hardy boat
men in their big fishing luggers. As
they grew older the same rough but
kindly friends taught them to row
and swim and skillfully sail boat,
and the oldest bcatman on the beach
a crippled. white-hai-ed veteran
would say, when asked sometimes it
such young boys were safe alone upon
the water. that there was very little
about boats that he could teach Master
Tom and Jack, ''sartin sure"
And they have had some adventures,
toe. I remember once when l was q
and the two boys, started one
bright July afternoon for a cruise
to the Goodwin sands and back. 1t
was a long sail, but We didn't mind;
we were going to have picnic tea in
the boat ard return home by moon
light.
Well. we carried out our programme
and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
Coming back a stiff breeze sprang up
and our staunch little Queen of the
May perfectly flew along. Suddenly
in little silence that had fallen upon
US all after the somewhat noisy sing
ing of glees and part-songs. sound
like cry of somebody in distress was
waited across the waters. We did not
take much notice of it at first, think
ing it was the seabirds, whose cries
are sometimes so human. but in another
moment we heard it again. this time
more distinctly. and we realized then
that it was the word Help" that was
being called out.
We all felt dreadfully excited as we
peered out over the Rloonlit sea: then
Jacks sharp eyes deserted small black
object away to the left of the boat.
and, with our hearts beating with ex-
element, we altered our course and
made for it as speedily as we could.
As we came nearer we saw the floating
object was small boat, and we could
see some figures in it. Then we used
our healthy young lungs in an encour-
aging shout to hold on" and in few
minutes came up to the distressed
craft. We found it to be very small
rowing boat. A young man with his
coat of sat in the center. baling out
water, while lady and a tiny fair
haired girl of three or Jour years were
crouched down at one end. And we
were to be the rescuers of the forlorn
little party. Here was an exciting ad-

venture! In a few moments we had
them safely in our gallant Queen of
the May, the rowing boat was made
fast to ours, and we started for the
shore. The rescued ones told us that
they had hired the boat that afternoon
to 60 for a row, and coming home they
were Mortified to find that she had
sprung a leak, and, to make matters
worse, in searching for baler one of
the oars became uushipped and slipped
away, and they found themselves, poor
things, drifting away every moment
farther from home. helpless to do any
thing but bale the water out
And they had been in this sad plight
Dearly two hours when their cries at
tracted our notice. How tired and
worn they looked. and with what i'm
portance and delight we brewed them
, hot, delicious cup of tea each with
our spirit lamp. The color came back
to the faces of the poor. frightened
lady and little girl and the wee maid
sat on merry Jacks knee. and the two
made bond OF friendship together.
And when we landed ard bnde good
by to our rescued friends it seemed
funny to learn that the gentleman in
the trio was noae other than the new
master who hao come to the school my
two boy friends were ct, and whose
acquaintance-owing to its being holt
day time-they had not yet made. And
the lady, who was his sister, and her
little girl had never been on the sea
before. and the former declared that
her first trip would be her last--Pall
