summoned by his colonel to answer
a charge Of assault preferred against
him by sentry, who had stated that
the officer had used him pretty rough
ly one tening at the gate of the bar
racks. The officer apparently had no
recollection Of the alleged assault.
The sentry had made so bold as to
declare that the officer was intoxi-
Gated.
Among those questioned was the
captains orderly, an Irishman, who
protested vigorously that the allega-
tion Of the sentry was SANDER
that he was sure tae captain was
perfectly sober the evening Of the al
legged assault.

Blank was sober that EVENING"" he
was asked. did he speak to you up
on his return to bis quarters?"
"He did sir"
"What did he say?"
HE told me to be sure and call
him early in the mornin', sir
"And did the captain say why he
wished to be called early?'
yes, sir, he did, sir. He said he
was goin' to be Queen O. the May

vincing gravity. Cosmopolitan Maga

MANY SEALS
Sighted of GuiIford This season-sis
 Gray One and Puppy Noted.

At ,GuiIford more seals have been sighted off shore this spring than ever
 before. A few days ago R. D. H. Hill when off hauling lobsted pots sighted beautiful silver seal with a puppy. The large seal was of great size, weigh ing probably 200 pounds, and was a beauty. The two were reposing on a rock near where MT. Hill was working, and he approached quite close before they slid off into the water Although seeing seal is an everyday sight to the 'longshoremen. MT. Hill declares that this gray beauty was the hand somest and largest he ever saw. All though these animals are valuable hardly ever is one caught off Guilford, because of the difficulty of catching them. They are ordinarily very wary. and it is impossible to get near enough one to secure it in any way except shooting with a rife, and when shot the seal usually falls into the water and sinks. Then unless the water is shallow (and they seldom are found in shallow water}, the animals can not be recovered.
