CHAPTER VIII.
Esdaile avoided Brydell more than ev
at Portsmouth, and as they were in diffe
ent classes it was easy for them to see h
little of each other. One night, thoue
Brydell having come on board, after day
leave spent fishing with Grubb, was met r
a third-class man as soon as he had got
board and reported This was his old d,
quaintance, Cunliffe, who had turned out
remarkably quiet and leVel-headed youna
fellow and belonged to the section in every
class which Keeps up the tone and discp-
line of the class. "Brydell," said he will
you come into the steerage with me? Some
thing very important is on hand, and we

manner it was something serious. For
among these cadets there is a rigid code
Of ethics which is carried out with a stern
impartiality that would do honor to much
older men. UncOntamnated by the influences
of self-interest, which are learned later in
life, these young fellows insist upon certain
points of honor SO tenaciously that they
can practically drive any cadet out of the
academy who does not live up to them.
And the geratest OF these is truthfulness.
Any failure to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, is regarded
uniting a cadet for any association with
