stant's mistaking OF port and star
board.
1t Is difficult to imagine a more ter
rible situation than the p~aradoxical
one of burning in the midst of a vast
expanse Of water, but this condition
is often presented, and, In fact, during
some of the mighty naval engage
ments was deliberately created by the
lighters engaged.
This condition was s~trikingly pre-
sented in the destruction OF the arma-
da Of Philippe H., which went out
against the English In 1888 and took
refuge in the port OF Calais. The
English pushed huge floats of fire to.
ward the armada and in the same man
ner fire was hurled at the enemy In
the form Of red hot cannon balls. The
ships Of wood, catching fire, eventu-
ally blew up.
Such was the fate Of the Orient at
Aboukir in 1913, when Admiral Nelson
defeated the French fleet that was
carrying Napoleon and his troops to
Egypt. On board the Orient the men
III making their last desperate
stand, the dead were lying about in
heaps and the wounded were more
numerous than the still uninjured
fighters. All around them was an in
ferno OF shot and shell. They heard
nothing, saw nothing, they simply
fought on with the fury Of insane des-
peration. The commander, Bfueys,
mortally wounded, raised himself up
and cheered his men on to work. The
men had hardly responded when the
volcano let loose inside the Orient did
It's work. There was an explosion
that shook the sea, and then the
flames vent roaring up through the
sails and rigging of the doomed ship.
The whole battle cen was as light
as day, every detail being brought out
In the red glare of the burning vessel
The smoke hoated over the scene like
a huge vulture, and for the moment
the entire combat ceased, the guns
were silenced and the two lighting
forces paused in their work of slaugh.
ter. Then came the finale. There
was a deep, sullen roar, and the Ori-
ent leaped into the air and fell back
into the water a mass of wrecked
timbers. Black darkness shrouded
the scene that an instant before was
a glare Of light, and SOC men Of the
Orient were buried in an ocean grave.
Only 60 men escaped.

In the loss Of the B~ourgogne the
death list was immense, but in the
loss OF the France ii was, in proper
ticn, even greater. The France went
down in 1900 because Of an instant OF
hesitation and the wrong i~nterpreta-

on board the Brennus, was heading
for Gibraltar On the night OF the 10th

The order was so distinct that those

fierce shrek of its foghorn, and then

The two ships were made aware OIL

into the B~ourgogne, tearing a hole OF
enormous size in her side. The Gro

the Bourgogne was mortally wounded.
Like a huge best in torture the log

Sable Island and grounding his ship
there before it sank.
1t was sixty miles to the island, in
a dense fog, with water pouring into
the huge hole in the vessels side. The

JAPs AND KOREANS FIGHT.-A dis
patch from Seoul, Korea, says: Gnu
merous conflicts have occurred at Che
mulpo and Massampho between Japanese
and Korean Inhabitants. The japanese
telegraph operators have charge of the
line from Seoul to the coast. The pos
sibility OF japanese troops landing to
preserve order is discussed, but it would
only be done with the consent Of the
Russian government. An authoritative
denial is given of the reports from Pc
king that the French minister there has
notified China that if she allied herself
with Japan, pending settlement of the
Japanese Russian controversy, France
would advance in southern China. 1t
is said in this connection That France has
not taken any steps whatever in the
matter, and is not contemplating action
in the event of rupture between Japan
AID Russia. On the contrary, the official
view is that France and Great Britain are
not likely TO become involved, and that
Russia and Japan will be left to settle
tleir controversy.

SUNDAY ENTERTAINMENT.

The winter months are now at hand.
On Sunday afternoons many of our
young men, and some of the older ones,
collect on King street and other points
about the city. There is no particular
place for them to go. Perhaps few g
to Washington to attend the afternoon
churches, or to hear some lecturer at one
of the theatres over there, and no doubt
derive much benefit from so doing, but
ought not these young men be furnished
entertainment here at home? Surely
the churches of this city are abundantly
able to bear the expense of some kind
of entertainment that will be both pleas
ing and elevating. If the pastors of the
various churches in Alexandria would
unite and bring this matter to the atten-
ton of their congregations, some plan
would undoubtedly be agreed upon, both
as to the character Of the entertainment
and the share of the expense to be borne
by each congregation. If it is deter
mined that the entertainment should
consist of lecture, the pastors could be
a committee to select the speakers. There
are many of our own citizens abundantly
able to deliver a popular Sunday after
noon address, and who would certainly
be glad TO address such a meeting. There
are also a great many men whose busi-
ness it is to speak to such gathering on
Sunday afternoons, and who ask only
that their actual expenses he paid. The
Opera House could probably be secured
for a nominal price, and if it is thought
advisable some of the church choirs
could lead the singing by turns. Special
music could be had, if desired, but the
writer believes that such gathering
prefers to do its own singing, and needs
leader only. Our worthy Mayor has
closed the saloons on Sunday. Now let
the church people of this city give these
Young men a chance TO go somewhere
and be proitably entertained in comfort.
Let the entertainment be free, and open
to both sexes, with cordial invitation
and welcome to all.
