larity of q naval review. The Grosser
Euffnrst, the Kreonland and the Car
did wonderfully well. The spectacle
Of the burning ship in the middle of a
ring of vessels impotent to help was,
he said, too terrible for him to de-
scribe. But fer the subsistence of the
storm all on board the Nolturno must
have been lost. The first intimation re-
ceived by the passengers of the Car
mania that anything unusual had hap
pered. was while they We're at break
fast, on Thursday, when the continu-
ous breaking of green seas on the
decks above them and the plunging
OF the vessel indicated that the Car
mania's course had been changed and
that she was speeding in the face Of a
gale.
Immediately on receipt of the IS. ..
g., signal, Captain Barr doubled
manned the stokeholds and the Car
mania was soon travelling at such a
speed as she had seldom attained since
her trial trips.
The first lifeboat launched by the
carmania after she arrived in the Vi
entity Of the Yeitnrne fought the seas
for three and half hours and, ac-
cording To the spectators, only the Use
of sea anchors and the magnificent
seamanship of First officer Gardiner
saved the craft and its crew from Ger
tain destruction.
AS the senior officer present, Cap
tain Barr took command of the res
cue operations. He dfrec:ed the small
er vessels to stand close in as they
ran less risk than the carmania ant
he had rugged by his crew additiona
searchlights with which the Who'll,
scene was kept wildly illuminated.
The absence of more survivors OF
board the carmania is explained by
the fact that as many as possible
were placed on westbound vessels.

The great trouble with many idle
men is that they are either too
proud to engage in manual labo-,
or too lazy Another great cause
for idleness is that many men place
too high an estimate upon the worth
of their services. While 500 a.

sufficient to keep good sized fam

the father can find work that is more
