A good story is told of a Turkish
man-of-war which was ordered to NAL
ia. When the captain had got his ship
clear OF the Bosphorus it struck him
that it would be as well IL he knew
where Malta was. for he had not the
slightest idea. So he inquired of pass
ing vessel, whose captain offered to
point it out on the chart. But the
Turkish captain preferred to follow a
vessel which he knew was about to
sail for that port. Unfortunately, a
fog came on. and when it cleared OF
the vessel in front was no longer the
same, though the captain knew it not.
For days he followed the ship, and at
last reached port, when. addressing the
authorities that came on board, he said,
Malta, presume?" "Oh. no." was the
reply. This is Liverpool. STRAY
