would be far more serious than on the
deck of a ship. Accidents, however,
are infrequent.
Drills on the Severn begin early in
the spring and continue throughout the
cruise, which lasts from June until
September. The midshipman thus be-
comes accustomed to ship life The
work is hard and the discipline severe
during these drills. There is little
tendency to shirk duty. and the future

on deck and alOft, even to clearing up
the deck and slowing away the ropes.

bitiOn there. Elihu, although cherish
ing dreams of future success and OF a
great place in life, was always willing
to enter upon the work at hand.
His father needed a helper at the
forge, and it was most natural that his
son should be chosen to fill the posi-
ton. Burritt himself took pride IN Sne
fact that he had been a good black
smith. But ambition became too strong
at last for habit and environment. He
had continued his studies, by the light
of the forge many time, supplement-
ing the little he had received at the
district school he had attended. Now
he was to put himself to the test, do
ing so confidently.
Leaving the village, he started out
with no capital but his resolve. His
success is a matter Of history. He had
the courage to throw himself upon the
world, believing in himself, and his re-
ward was proportionate. His philan-
thropic work covered a wide area, and
many Of his less fortunate fellow-men
had cause to revere the name of this
good man.
