TIMES
IN RUSSIA
Turnkey MeIanphy Tells
About a Cali at
Cronstadt.

Talk about freedom said Turnkey
Jack" Melanphy, to the Sleuth's Club
yesterday. You people don't appreci-
ate what you have. If you had been
over in Russia in the old days you
would have seen something that WASH t
freedom. I remember we'll one occasion
when our ship called at Cronstadt. The
harbor mouth is almost closed with a
big breakwater and everything bristles
with guns. The narrow passage through
which the ship enters the harbor was
guarded by high tower that looked
like a pincushion, so thickly was it
studded with cannon. Inside the har-
Dor the ships were tied up to piling
in rows. The only open water in the
bay was a narrow lane between the
two lines if shipping.
I'VE weren't allowed to cook aboard,
for If fire had started in one ship the
whole harbor would have been swept.
The authorities furnished wooden
frames on which the cooks from the
various ships hung great kettles. 1t
was great sight to see the rows of
kettles along the shore. Everything we
had there was boiled-'sea SOUP we
called it. All the cooks had sore eyes
from the smoke of the fires. No lights
were allowed on board ship; that is, the
crew were allowed no lights. One
small candle was allowed in the cabin
of each ship, and for this the master
had to obtain an official permit on
spangled with golden seals and Rus
sian eagles.
THAT was before the serfs were
freed and can tell you the lot of the
Russian common people was hard
When the captain of a foreign mer-
chant ship wanted stevedores he sent
