Save by the stripes that bleed.
So blazoncd on thy valiant field,
See we these emblemS plain
The far white stars of peace beyond
The crimson bars of nain.

1t is easy to imagine the shock OF
glad surprise which came over the
family Of Robert Armstrong when he
suddenly appeared at his old home in
Bath after an absence of over ten
years during which time it was sup
posed that lie was dead. We also
imagine that he is glad to get back to
his native town and family again af-
ter the years of absence and adventure
on the other side of the world.
