is being broken up at Portsmouth. She
was launched in 1852 and headed the
fleet that went to the Baltic when war
was declared against Russia in 1854. At

around sharp curve. The old lady no.

a trace Of slightest interest. With her

risked laughing at anything. In the
cold, business-like voice OF the class
leader she or0ered-I could have told

she ordered two eggs boiled medium,
dry toast and pot of hot tea. 1T mus:

called, as he turned away, "before you

That is what she said. The car made
a particularly wild lurch just then,
which helDed me to hide my surprise.
That vas all that saved me.
