asked what had happened.
"a big sea struck US" he replied.
At least we know how il feels to strike mine.
Two whole nights the captain was on the bridge
where he suffered bitterly from the cold. The
second morning at dawn an authorized pilot was
taken on board. as we were nearing the British
coast. When the captain was asked how Re
avoided the mines in mG-seas he replied:
81 simply had to take chances. | could not tell
where they were"
Floating mines as well as anchored mines had
peen sown in all directions, and it impossible
to keep path clear between them. No one knows
this better than seamen, who are now demanding
twice their former wages for taking their lives
in their own hands as they go out to sea.

the first intimaton this country was involved IN
war In booking our luggage at the booking
Office We were informed that every piece Of hant
baggage down to the smallest package must be
put into the luggage van, not even tiny basket
of fruit being allowed in the carriage.
This unusual regulation was in accordance with
a military order to insure the protection OF the
two great bridges, the Tay and the Forth, the
latter crossing the Firth Of Forth, whose mouth
forms the harbor Of Dundee. The possibility OF
bombs concealed in hand baggage, being dropped
in transit upon the piers below is thus fore
stalled. The strategic Importance of these two
bridges is very great, the rivers crossed being
large enough and deep enough to allow the big
ges; battleships TO pass right into the heart OF
the country from the North Sea. The prde OF
the Scotchman was in evidence when the booking
officer said
these two bridges must be protected from the
secret enemy, whose spies might attempt TO de
story them You know this Bridge Of the Forth ia

THE FIRST VIEW OF THE ANCIENT kRoN
BORG CASTLE.

Arriving at Helsing6r there doomed up in the
rear distance the battlements and towers of the
ancient castle, whose copper roofs are brilliant
green from ages Of corrosiOn. From afar were
scented the stories of history and tales of mys-
terv which have centred in and about these gray
walls rising from low cliff on the shores Of
the sea.
Crossing over the old moat on the land side
We found ourselves between two meats, where
cIump of soldiers were bivouacked. Meeting one
Of them he spoke something about kodak which
was swung along by one of the party, whereupon
he was Informed in broad American that she was
mot going TO lake anything" The soldier passed
on. doubtless impressed with the uselessness Of
carrying on a one-sided conversation with for
cigner. Over the inner moat, and passing through
q low. wide-arched entrance, found ourselves
in a great court, the centre of the quadranguaf
building. Here we were conducted to one Of the
towers, from whose entrance circular stone
stairway, worn by centuries Of use, led up many
stories 10 a fat-towered roof above.
Under the watchful eye of soldier guard We
looked out over the Oeresund and Kattegat, Gov
cred with boats and white sails together with
Denmark's naval ships and submarines which
latter were then in operation sinking and rising
again IN their man9uvres. Round about US rose
the towers of the old castle.

up into another tower we were unobtrus|ei|
