undesiSnedly went TO the great artists next OF

time at his place near Barnstaple where he died

In the seventies Mr.. Turner figured in a Chan
Gerry lawsuit that resulted from remarkable
sale OF enGravinSs which the artist had left be

which had long lain neglected in his old and IN

:. The exact significance OF the figure
head is something of a mystery. The
savage races which have employed
them on their war canoes from time
immemOrial, make them rs hideOus
and as formidable as possible for the
purpose of inspiring terror into the
hearts of the enemies, just as the Chi
nese in the late war with Japan went
on the battlefield with myriads of ban
ners emblazoned with all manner of
hideous animals, the very sight of
which, they imagined, would cause the
Japanese to drop dead with fright.
Other savage races employ the fig
urehead for religious reasons, and in
this case the effigy is always a repre-
sentatiOn some favorite god. In
either case superstition is indirectly at
the bottom of it, and as seamen of all
times and races lead the rest of the
world in superstition, there is little to
wonder at in the fact that the fiure-
head survived for numberless centuries.
OF the ancient navies fgureheads
and anchors are the only remnants
which have been discovered, and these
show that as far back as 1000 B. c. the
figurehead was an important part of
the equipment of a warship of those
times. When one warship captured
another it removed the fgurehead of

Ver's art are to be seen almost daily
in Auckland's harbor. Some of them
carry as many as 100 paddlers. The
prows of the canoes. for a distance of
dozen feet ON either side, are beau
tifully carved, and projecting outward
like a bowsprit, are two long poles
holding punches Of horse hair.
About the only modern vessel in the
British navy with a fgurehead is the
armored cruiser Warspite, recently
the guardship at Queenstown. The
figure portrayed is that OF winged
female wearing a Vikings helmet and
a shirt of mail In one hand she holds
a naked sword, in the other she
brandishes a torch. The shield in the
center opens like a fort to allow of a
Hotohkiss quick firing gun being fired
directly ahead.
The first screw gunship to be built
was the Windsor Castle, of the British
navy, launched in 1852, and it's bow
was ornamented by a figure of the
royal line. In 1903 royal decree was
issued in England ordaining the en-
plCyment of lion fgureheads through
out the British fleet, but it was never
rigidly enforced, probably for the rea-
son that many of the French warships
of that period also used the lion for
figurehead purposes.
