IT WAS VERY GOOD COAL.
That II Was spieed With ounpowdsr
Mads u All the Better.

In reviewing his early life in Con-
stantinople Sir Edwin Pears tells an
amusing story Of a coal contractor who
was supplying the British fleet with
fuel A commissariat officer on one oc-
casiOn went TO him to say that man
of-war had Just arrived IN the Bos-
p0rus and was ordered to proceed to
the Crimea with distinguished officers
on board. but 1t was short of coal
The contractor answered that one Of
his small sailing vessels had Just ar
rived laden with a cargo Of coal and
that he would arrange to have it dis
charge the fuel directly on board the
nan-of-war.
A day or two later when the eontrac-
tor saw his manager he asked what
had been done with about ninety kegs
Of gunpowder that had been slowed on
the top Of the coal
"Oh. we found all the kegs empty"
said the manager. There was no pow
der to remove"
During the next three weeks the
contractor lived IN constant dread He
feared that every ship coming from
the Crimea would bring news Of an
explosion on the man-of-war and an
order for his arrest. He became III
from anxiety.
One day. fortnight later, be heard
with fear and trembling from his inner
office the voice of the commissariat
officer asking to see the merchant who
had supplied the ship with coal He
put on bold face and went out.
ayes, you're the man." said the com
missariat officer in loud voice. "You
gave us 300 tons Of coal. It's the best
We have ever had. Instead Of our
