FEARED THE sEARcHLIGhT.

Dismay reigned amongst the In
habitants of the outer Western
islands recently when a searchlight
was played over their ouses and
fields during the visit of several war
ships. The islanders in their re-
mote and lonely homes knew little of
twentieth century inventions, and
had no knowledge of this kind of
light, and all took to prayer and
Bible reading considering that the
lights were omens of coming evil.
On the island of Colonsay, one of
the Hebrides, 81. M. s. Defence
landed big gun and 45O bluejack-
cts. This is the biggest invasion of
armed men the island has known
since the days of the clan feuds.-
