one of your old and respected citizens
'kamarinoz' or what is it you call 'em.
Tell me friends to please write care of
the reef. And all for a bloomin two
pounds and half of the dope, too. I'd
have shown the wise nut if I'd hit the
pipe for the whole of it comm down.
The wise guy would have jet'soned it
and saved the rest of his cargo. But
evertyhing's gone now, spars, sheets,
gear and the whole bloomin' vessel and
no chance but fioatin' ashore on the an

bottomry bond on her. I'm glad this
amt Friday or the 18th Of the month OF

| he had already landed some.
He is rather a prepossessing looking
| fellow.

KIPL1NG's LATEST POEM.
Pays Tribute to the Cruiser, Daughter
of the Frigate.


LONDON, August 13-The Morning
Post publishes poem by Rudyard Kip
ling entitled Cruisers" describing
them as daughters of the frigate which
made a play for her bully, the ship of
the line" The following three stanzas
are typical:
And when we have wakened the lust
of the foe,
To draw him by fight to our bullies
we go
Yet never so hasty that he is outrun,
And never so halting that we are un-
done.
Them lurching and lunging, he follow
eth far,
With hail of long pieces our beauty to
mar,
Till, ware of fresh smoke stealing near
er he flies
And our bullies close in to make him
good prize.
Anon we return, being gathered again
Across the gray ridges all drabbled
with rain;
Across the keen ridges all crispy and
Curled,
To join the long dance round the
curve of the world.
