Real American Feeling Towards Eng
land.

land.
But it is certainly true that the great
body of the more intelligent Americans
harbor no prejudices or jealousies in re-
spect to England, as has been clearly
shown in the expressions OF opinion
which recent events have called out.
They desire no controversy with her.
Proud OF their own country, believing
in it's destiny, resolute to defend it when
it needs defense in any quarter, for the
greatness of England they have cor
dial admiration and in her forward
march they know that they and the
world are prohted. They see that wher
ever her flag goes it stands for law and
order and good government, and that
under it the rights of all men are safer
than under the rule of any other coun-
try. They perceive that If we are to
have relations or friends anywhere, they
must be found among the people of our
own race; that the two countries are
natural and necessary allies, whom God
has joined together, kindred who even if
they quarrel would be kindred still; that
if business and industry are to prosper
in either, they must prosper in both I;
and that if Christianity, liberty, and the
principles of free government are ever to
overspread the earth, they must be car
ried by the English language, which has
thus far been their vehicle. In the minds
of such men there is no room for the pal
triness Of Anglomania on the one hand,
or of Anglophobia on the other-for
servile init alton or groundless jealousy.

Fishing for Hyin1 Fish.

"The familiar old saw, Don't swear or
you won't catch any fish, may not have
any real significance when it is applied to
ordinary everyday fishing" said New
Yorker whose means and inclinations
have enabled him to enjoy much pisoato-
rial sport of odd and curious kinds, "but
it would come true every time if you were
fishing for flying fish. For that matter,
though the saying might just as well be,
Don't pray or you won't catch any fish,
if it referred to flying fish. In that case,
in fact, it might almost as well be, Don't
breathe, for the slightest sound and fire.
queptly even the most cautious movement
is sufficient to send you home without a
flying fish on your string. l have seen
the sea black with flying fish as far as
the eye could reach, crowding upward to-
ward the waiting sweep of the fsherman's
net, and the next second seen all that sur
rounding water as clear as though it were
a field of glass, not spot nor a speck
anywhere in sight TO remind me of the
dense life that filled it an instant before
The shadow of a passing sea birds wing
upon the water had been sufficient to
alarm that great school and send it some
where away or into the depths to return
no more. No creature of The ocean is so
shy and 50 lightning like in its move
ments in the water as the flying fish
And yet, strange as it may seem, skill
full and discreet fisherman manipulates his
net among them until he has filled his
boat from the school without giving them
alarm. / have known one boat to take
10000 flying fish from one school, and
fishing only ceased because the boat
would hold no more.
"In the deep blue sea off Barbados is
where I used to 90 flying fish fishing, and
l never heard of any other place where
that sport can be found. 1t isn't mat
ter of sport, though, with the native fish
ermen. 1t is business, and a very serious
business, for the principal food supply, as
well as the chief mainstay commercially,
of a large portion Of the people is flying
fish. The boats you 60 fishing in are
painted as near the color of the water as
can be, even to the sails Their keels are
oiled, to make them more noiseless in the
water. The simple and single garment
the fisherman wears is dyed sea color
The only unpleasant thing about flying
fish fishing is the bait. This is very
oily fish that frequents the steep shores Of
Barbados. Its name, according to the
Virginia free press. (Charlestown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1832-1916, 1896-07-01
JEFFERSON COUNTY WEDNESDAY,

drawn in order to sink them if that is
found necessary. Then the guns are cast
loose, and crews divide themselves into
two parts, rifemen and boarders. The
rilemen work the guns while the board
ers stand by ready to repel invaders. As
it is desirable sometimes TO fire upon the
enemy with some of the great guns while
the small armsmen are in action, one of
every five crews is kept in quarters. They
are seldom called upon to move, as it is
not considered wise that they leave their
guns, unless the fro becomes useless, or
all hands are called upon TO repel board
ers.
During a battle the duty of the captain
is TO be on the bridge with the chief en-
gineer at his side. The captain gives the
orders for the moving of the vessel, and
the chief engineer telegraphs the instruc-
tions to the engine room l.
In olden times mariners were simply.su-
pernumeraries at each gun, and did not
leave their quarters unless to repel board
ers. In Nelson's time it was thrilling to
see hundred or more sailors armed with
eutlasses and pistols in the bow or quar-
ter fighting hand to hand with the ene-
my. In those days a high netting sur
rounded the vail of the ship to keep off
boarders.
If two vessels foul, or come so close to-
gether that it is impossible for the enemy
to board, hose is attached to a steam
pump and a stream of scalding water is
turned on the invaders.
There is one man on board warship
in times Of battle who keenly feels his
importance. He is the quartermaster, who
has charge of the signal code. The book
must by no means fall into the hands of
the enemy. 1t is bound in lead, and is
dropped overheard if the ship is taken.
