complained that they were grieyously
beaten by men, so that life was a
greater burden than they could bear.
Then said Allah: Il cannot make mel

RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.
II Was Successfully Done Ages Ago At

Blockading and blockade running Is

instances Of the practice dates back

rich city on the isle of Sicily. Car.

shore Of Africa, one of the great sen
powers OF that time, was not at all
pleased with the idea Of Rome captur.
Ing Syracuse, free city and probably
source of great revenue through
trade with Carthage.
Syracuse was well fortified city.
and there seemed to be no immediate
prospect Of Rome taking it by storm.
so Marcclus decided to starve its in.
habitants into submission. He put a
Gordon of ships across the entrance to
the harbOr and arrayed his army Oh
the land side so that no succor could
come from without. But he had under
tiit boiuutoN VI tIC

contraband In those days--conditlonal
or other.
In their swift or driven galleys the
sailors of the African city easily ciud
ell the ships set 10 watch the port and
carried provisions and war material
into the beleagucred city. SO success
full were the Carthaginians in getting
supplies into the city-running the
blOckade--that had it not fallen through
treachery 1t would have been enabled
to hold out indefinitely. While block

Syracuse is one of the earliest in

determining the success of war on an
