Friends Remember
Golden Wedding Day

The following original poems
were received by Mr.. and Mrs.
James NJ. Pennington on the occa-
sion Of their golden wedding ami
versary, celebrated on December
%, 1914:
Your GOLDEN WEDDING DAY
Fifty years of welded life-Oh,
truly that must be
A precious sheaf of memories this
morning unto thee;
A book of golden pages whereon
with faithful care
You We penned the sweetest story
e'er written anywhere,
And we who love that story rejoice
today with you,
And send sincerest greetings and
wishes firm and true,
For pages still unwritten e'en
sweeter than the rest
For memories still more precious
for futures still more blest.
Your GOLDEN WEDDING DAY
| cannot bring you golden treasure
Finely wrought by artist s skill,
But / bring you loves full measure
Hoping joy your hearts may
thrill.
I'll not recount the year that 5
vanished
Since thou the bridegroom took
thy bride,
And travelled on the way together
Half century, side by side.
Each performing well your duty
As you travelled on your way;
Now your loving friends do greet
On your golden wedding day.
May no lowering clouds pass DER
As you near the setting sun,
But JOY and peace be with you
Until your earthly work is done.
Then hand in hand pass DER the
river
To the clear bright "Summer
Land,
There celebrate your diamond we'd
ding
Greeted by an angel band.

1T was while making a gasolene
dive that the boat sank lower than
was intended, and in our attempt to
close the sluice the chain broke. We
endeavored to stop the thrush of water
with our hands, but too late; the water
entered at the rear and the boat sank
at an incline of 20 degrees
when 1t touched bottom it was at
an angle of 10 degrees. The current
submerged the electric generator put

were burned.
1T was at 10 A. NJ. on the 18th

by poisonous gas the crew strove to

the stewards men are loading the
meat into the refrigerators; dirty,
grimy coal barges alongside are pour
ing the last few tons into the huge
NAV of the bunkers. The pier echoes
with the calls and shouting of the
longshoremen. The docks are alive
with stewards scurrying about laden
with the hand baggage Of passengers
seeking their cabins. Groups are say
ing their farewells and making the
usual promises to write. These things
are seen by the lad who is a deck
cadet.
Down below, in the bowels of the
ship, the engineer cadet sees quite as
much preparation for departure. The
engine a huge mass Of shining rods
and black, bulky cylinders is being
groomed like Derby faVorite. Junior
engineers and oilers are going over
every bolt with spanners to take up
any play that might exist. Consider
ing that the engine must run several
days without any stop whatever, the
engineers are obliged to have every
part of the machine in perfect order
before leaving port.
Stopping the engine at sea means
loss of time, and, please remember,
this IS a mail ship. At times tho
breaking down of the motive power
would endanger the entire ship, as
for instance, in a heavy sea. So all
the elaborate care is not mere fussI-
ness, but intelligent trouble preven-
ton.

work. Before he leaves the ship, even
