BOYS ON Al BURNING SHIF. i,
Five hundred boys from different
warehouses; in London were put to
school to be trained as sailors on board
the training ship Goliath. This great
ship suddenly caught fire about s
o'clock one winter morning. It was
hardly daylight. In three minutes the
ship was on fire from one end to the
other, and the fire bell rang to call the
boys each to his post
What did they do? Did they cry, or
scream, or fly about In confusion? No;
each ran to his proper place. The boys
had been trained to do it, and no one
forgot himself, nor lost his presence
OF rlind, but all behaved like men.
Then, when it was found impossible
to save the ship, those who could
swim, at the command Of the captain,
jumped into the waite and swan for
their lives. SoEie, at the captains
command, got into boat, and when
the sheets OF clouds OF dame and smoke
came out of the ship at them. the small
err boys for a moment were frightened
aud wanted to push away. But there
was one among them, a little mate CHS
name was William Bottom, quiet
boy, much beloved by his comrades,
who had the sense and the courage to
say: .'No, we must stay and help those
who are still in the ship" He kept
the barge alongside Of the Goliath as
long as possible, and was thus the
means OF saving more than 100 lives.
And there w,re others that were
still in the ship while the flames went
on spreading. and they We're standing
BY the captain who had been SO kind
to them all, and whom they loved so
much. In that dreadful moment they
thought more of him than OF them
selves, and one threw his arms around
his neck and said. you'll be burned,
Captain and another said. Save
yourself, Captain" But the captain
said, "No, boys! that is not the way
at sea-
He meant that the way at sea is to
prepare for danger beforehand, to
Meet 1t manfulIy when Il comes, and
to look at the safety not of oneself,
but Of others Little Christian.

be applied there. That which is prog

and invite the Filipinos 10 fight it out
