this anecdote to illustrate how a rough

sailor. Il don't ridicule God Almighty"
The sailor, in common with many lands
men, has n schoolboy fear of derision.
He cannot endure being laughed at,
and therefore hides even the crude re-
ligious feeling which may be in him.
When, however. he stands by his col
ors, and shows that a man may be a
good sailor and good Christian, he is
not likely TO encounter derision from
his shipmates.
! II remember being shipmate.'
writes Mr.. Russell, with fine, intel
lectual sailor, man with as refined
face and as gentle and expressive an
eye as ever l met. who during the voy-
age made a practice in one of the dog
