INTERESTING INCIDENT
TOLD by MIDSHIPMAS


\ curious coincidence is also asso-
cated with the Falklands battle. It
occurred during the sinking Of the
;ine!senau. off the Falkland Islands.
and the interesting incident is told
b. a m!dshipman OF the Carnarvon. He
states:
One OF the officers saved was hrst
cousin Of our admiral tStoddart. He
is 4 strong chap and quite good
fellow. He had an extraordinary eX-
rerience. Half the Gneisenau,s men
were killed by shell fire alone. He was
In an So .urret as second torpedo Off
Ger. The turret was knocked out, and
ne was tho sole survivor. He then
went to easement gun. which was
also knocked out, and all the crew
killed. He went TO Il third tanothcr
casenate> which was also knocked
out, and ne waa again practically the
sole survivor. He went to another gun
and the ship was then sunk. He re-
manned In Icy water for nearly one and
quarter hours, and was picked UP by
one OF our cutters. He was rather
dazed. but cool and collected in the
boat. After lying shiverins in the bot
tom OF the cutter for half an hour he
was hauled up by bovine into one
OF his cnemy's ships. When he got on
board ne said, I believe ! have a first
cousin in one OF your ships His name
ts Stoddart Then TO find him as ad-
m!ral IN the ship that picked him up"

About year ago, when taking part
in a regatta at Wemyss his boat was

in some states have found that they can secure better roads and probably with little, if any, more expense) by employing competent man to have charge of the highways of the town from year to year. He looks the whole field over, knows where road needs the scraper and where one man with few tools that he could carry in one- horse wagon could do better work than the force of men which goes with the scraper. This overseer also looks after water courses and saves many dollars by clearing a way for water in time of heavy showers or spring fleshets. Just here it may be pertinent to inquire if anyone knows what has become of many of the water courses or sluce ways? Have they gone out of fashion? Many of the hills have lost them. The hills may look smooth and fair when first repaired, but when the first heavy rain comes, a gully is soon washed down the center of the hill from top to bottom. Is this better than the old method of turning the water put upon side gutters? This general oversight of the roads is something which a selectman cannot afford and cannot be expected to spend an adequate amount of time upon. but how many business men would expect satisfactory results if they employed no manager or foreman for as important and ex- pensive work as the upkeep of towns system of roads?
