Why Eliuab.th Ordered Fish.

The connection between fish eating
during Lent and a strong navy may
appear remote. but to Elizabethan
statesmen 1t seemed very real and VI
tai. So much so that every one should
eat fish on every day Of Lent. as well
as on certain appointed days through
out the year. under penalty Of heavy
fine. And the reasons set forth for this
enactment made no mention of reli-
gious observance. 1t was simply stated
that the queen needed ships for the
defense of the realm. and as not only
was the fishing industry "the chiefest
nurse for the bringing up Of youth for
shipping" but great numbers Of ships
be used therein. furnished with stun
and men at all times in readiness for
her majesty's service" the consump-
ton of fish must be enforced-London

Contrary to earlier dispatches there
was no storm when the vessel struck.
The weather was clear and calm.

picked up the distress signal it was

was at midnight. At that hour the
