stituted desire for love. But now, suddenly,

to some one person. To give ones self to an
other and find ones self again is the best and
highest thing in life. How comfortless-to
stand in the field and fight and have no one
at home whom one loves, no one who fears and
suffers

Edisons were there who did go and who
did not come back?

Young men between l6 and rs who
are not skilled in any navy trade are
enlisted as apprentice seamen. Imme-
diately upon being sworn in at the re-
cruiting station, they are sent, at gov
eminent expense, to naval training
station.
Upon arrival at a naval training
station, the recruit is admitted to the
detention camp or recruits bar
racks as it is known at some training
stations, where he remains at least
three weeks. During this time he is
kept under observation in order to
make sure that he has brought no
contagious disease, which might he
spread to the entire brigade. The re-
cruit's instruction, however. begins
when he enters the recruit barracks.
He is assigned to a company COM
manded by chief petty officer spe
cially selected for duty as instructor.
and the recruit remains member of
this company, with the same instruc-
tor, during his entire training course,
unless he is put back His COM
pany leaves this recruit-barracks for
the main barracks or camp intact, and
remains intact until the instruction is
completed, and the men are promoted.
At the recruit barracks, or detention
camp. the recruit is given preliminary
instruction. He is taught personal
cleanliness, how to care for his body,
how to scrub and wash his clothes,
how to mend torn clothing, and, in
short how to look after himself He
is sent to the dentist who examines
his teeth to ascertain whether or not
there is any work required and, if so,
il is done free Of charge, except the
cost of the material when gold or
silver is used. He is interviewed by
the chaplain who in kindly manner,
questions him regarding his previous
life. his occupation, his religious affili-
ationS, and advises him of the pitfalls
he may encounter in the navy and how
to avoid them. The chaplain counsels
the men in moral and in spiritual af-
fairs and in their duties to themselves
and their associates and to the govern
ment they are serving. At some sta
lions the chaplain is placed in charge
of academic instruction. The recruit
is examined as to his knowledge OF
! common school studies and is assigned
! to classes similar to the grades in the
| public schools. The academic studies
are compulsory and continue Thorough
! out the whole period of training.
! After the required three weeks il

dition after that, the Buchanans and
their fellow members of the relief
expedition discovered that in the
spring of lS4S, Captain F.. r. M. Cro-
Zier, who had succeeded to the COM
mand of the party, abandoned the
! ships to try to reach the mainland by
way of Great Fish river, $50 miles
away. What happened on this des-
perate journey was gathered from Es-
kimos who had encountered the white
men and sold seals flesh to them.
One by one the explorers dropped
their drag-ropes and died where they
fell Those who remained pushed on
with weary footsteps, and with hope
and despair alternating in their
hearts. Daily the death roll 1ncreas-
ed until the last man fell and the cur
tain dropped on the final scene.
But the expedition was not wholly
vain one, for one of the long hidden
and jealousy guarded secrets of the
arctic had been laid bare at last. The
expedition had succeeded in demon
Strating the existence of the long
sought Northwest passage, having
connected Lancaster Strait with the
navigable channel that extends along
the continent to Behrlng strait, thus
uniting a known track on the east
with known track on the west. The
Northwest passage, which for centur-
it's had been the dream of
navigators, had been discovered at
last. Thus the Franklin men were
conquerers even in death.
After this expedition the Buchanan
brothers quit the sea and came to
America, where they saw much of the
frontier life amid the early day gold
stampedes in the Rocky mountains.
Twenty years ago "Bill" Buchanan
died in his brothers arms in log
cabin in the Moccasin mountains, and
old Buck left alone, was inconsol-
able. He continued prospecting and
mining until recent years, and about
three years ago, going to California,
was murdered for few hundred dol
lars which he carried on his person.
His body was found by strangers and
was identified by the photograph
shown above, on the back of which
was written his name. This photo
graph was taken at Chico Hot Springs
near Livingston, shortly before he
left for California.
