"Davy" Boyd's Nerve.

Ensign "Davy'' Boyd, first officer of
the torpedo boat Gushing, is one of the
youngest executives in the navy. He
was selected for the important place
because he has hard and discrimi-
mating head, which he does not lose
in time of danger or emergency. He.
was on the Maine when the ship and
her sailors were destroyed on the night
of February 10Th, and risked his life
twenty times after the explosion in
Intellectual attempts to rescue Lieuten-
ant Jenkins. Mr.. Boyd is the ideal mid
shipman of whom Marryat wrote, care
less and joyous off duty or ashore, but
alert and brave to recklesSness afioat.
In young Mr.. Boyd'S ditty-boX, which
was not raised from the battleship, was
a gold watch, valuable as a chattel
proposition but of more worth to its
owner by reason Of the inscription. Its
presentation by a committee of CRATE
full fathers, husbands and brothers
came about through a characteristic
action on the part of Boyd. He was
with a party of women in steam
launch at Newport summer or TWO
ago. The crafts side was crushed in
by a floating spar and the boat began
to fill. simultaneously the women be-
gan to scream and prepare to leap over
board. The embryo Farragut, immedi-
ately upon the occurrence of the acci-
dent, signaled a neighboring boat for
help and then quieted the stampede in
his own launch. He figured the chances
quickly. He could save one, and the
two sailors could be relied upon for one
each. which would leave some six young
women to drown. The percentage OF
probable loss was too great, and the
cadet decided upon moral effort.
Ladies'" he shouted, 'sit still. Stay
in the boat; you may get your feet wet,
but that's all. 1t is impossible to sink
this launch She is a lifeboat."
Meanwhile help was approaching, and
the rescue boat was presently alongside.
Boyd and the seamen transferred their
passengers, and just as the last girl
stepped over the side the launch filled
and went down. The cadet cleared him.
self from the craft, and, drawing him
self over the side of the other, re-
marked with mild surprise:
Il think l must have been mistaken
about that launch's ability to float"
The next day the relatives of the
young women gave the wise young man
the watch he lost in the Maine.-Chi

KAIsEE's VISIT TO TURKEY.
Led to an Agreement Tantamount
to an Armed Alliance.


BERLIN, Nov. 5.-The Frankfurt
'Zeitung" says it learns from a we'll
informed source that Emperor Will
Jams visit to Turkey led to an agree
ment whereby Germany undertakes to
support the integrity of the Sultan's
Asiatic possessions, for which Germany
will receive commercial and Industrial
privileges. The paper adds that it is
believed that this agreement is tanta-
mount to an armed alliance between the
two countries
A number Of rumorS as to the real
objects of Emperor Williams visit to
Constantinople and the Holy Land have
been in circulation ever since the in
tention of his majesty to visit the Ori-
ent was announced about year ago.
These alleged purposes included i'm
portant railroad concessions to Ger
many, for colonizing purposes, the ced-
ing of the port of Haifa, in Palestine;
the ceding of the Island of Rhodes TO
Germany, and the granting to Ger
many of the right to plant large
German colony along the whole from
tier at TriDoli.
This last agreement, it was added,
was intended to protect the Sultan
against French encroachmentS across
the Tripoli-Tunis frontier, and would
also avoid granting Germany con-
cession in Asia Minor, which it is add
ed, would induce Russia to demand
compensation.
On the other hand, it has been an
nounced that some of the Powers have
| notified Turkey that she will not De
permitted to cede any territory to Ger
many; and Russia, it was announced
from Berlin on Saturday last, was ar
irving at an understanding with Aus
| tria and France to provide against the
accomplishment Of certain German
plans in the Orient.
