The routine lie on mackerel

consists of IA men, skipper and
cook. Two men constitute a watch,
one aloft as n lookout, the other at
the wheel, so that each man has two
hours on duty, and then II hours Off,
before his turn comes around again.

to perform other work Half Of the
crew have their hunks forward with
the cook. who is king of the forecas-

troubled with galley smells, but had
to be on our good behavior. All the
roles and revels were forward. The
crew ate in two shifts, the older men

day laborers, and one of them, with a
little more talent for art, is pictured
as sculptor. Whether this work be
regarded as the rebuilding of Buck
fast abbey or the raising of a new edi-
flee IS open to argument. An abbey
once stood here for centuries, and
down to the seventeenth century there
were recognizable ruins of the edifce.
1t is said, however, that something re-
manned Of the original tower, and that
around this fragment fine new abbey
will in time rear its grand head.
On July 2 the foundation stone of
the new work, which was designed by
Frederick Walters, an English arch
itect, was laid by the Catholic bishop
OF Plymouth. When finished the alb

blance to the one which once stood on
the site. The abbot to whose labors
the project is due, the Rev. Boniface
Meter, was drowned on the ship Sirio,

ent abbot, the Rev. Anschar Vonier,
was also a passenger on the Inflated
ship, but was saved.

it, and two years later they were able
to say vespers for the first time on

temporary church in 1884. Then the

structure, was restored. Subsequently,
a new abbey was designed and last
