Something to "Greet" About.
Persons casting about for something
to worry about may take pleasure in
recalling from "The Little Minister"
the manner in which self-styled simple
folk in Scotland regard the northern
lights-"the devils rainbow" Waster
Lunny called it. II saw it sax times
in July month";" he said, "and it made
me shut my cen. You was out admir-
ing it, dominic, but can never forget
that it was seen in the year ~ Just
afore the great storm. 1 was only a
laddie then, but mind how that awful
wind stripped a. the standing corn in
the glen in less time than we've been
here at the waters edge. 1t was called
the deil's bosom. My fathers utmost
words to me was, It's time eneuch to
greet, laddie, when you see the au-
rora borealis.'" Waster Lunny was
greeting" DER the drought then, but
twelve hours later the Quharity was
out of it's banks, washing out the corn
and with years store of wool on it's
crest was dashing out to sea.

CHAPTER II.
The Mar Breaks

AFTER serving four years and three
months in the U. S. navy, I received
an honorable discharge on April II,
1914. l held the rank of chief petty
ohcer, first-class gunner. It is not
uncommon for garbies to lie around a
while between enlistments-they like
vacation as much as anyone-and it
was my intention to loaf for a few
months before joining the navy again.
After the war started, of course, I
mad heard more or less about the Ger
man atrocities in Belgium, and while
1 was greatly interested, I was doubt
1ul at first as to the truth Of the re-
ports, for l knew how news gets
changed in passing from mouth to
mouth, and l never was much of a
nand to believe things until I saw
tnem, anyway. Another thing that
caused me to be interested in the war
was the fact that my mother was born
IN Alsace. Her maiden name, DER
Vleux, is we'll known in Alsace. had
OFTEN visited my grandmother in st.
Nazalre' France, and knew the coun-
Try. SO with France at war, it was
hot strange that I should be even
more interested than MANY other
garbies.
AS have said, did not take much

came down from the bridge and shook
hands with me!
After this they did not haze me
much. This was the beginning of
certain reputation that I had in the
navy for fst-work. Later on I had
reputation for swimming, too. That
first day they began calling me
"Chink," though 1 don't know why,
and it has been my nickname in the
navy ever since.
1t is a curious thing, and I never
could understand it, but garbies and
marines never mix. The marines are
good men and great fighters, aboard
and ashore, but we garbies never have
a word for them, nor they for us. On
shore leave abroad we pal up with
foreign garbies, even, but hardly ever
with marine. Of course they are
with US strong in case we have a scrap
with liberty party off some foreign
ship-they cannot keep out of a fight
any more than we can-but after it
is over they are on their way at once
and we on ours.
Ihere are lots OF things like that
in the navy that you cannot figure out
the reason for, and I think it is be-
cause sailors change their ways so
little. They do a great many things
in the navy because the navy always
has done them.

man, but I wanted to get into the gun
turrets. 1t was slow work for long
time. I had to serve as second-class
fireman for four mouths, first-class
for eight months and in the engine
room as water-tender for a year.
Then, after serving on the U. s. S.
Des Moines as gun-loader, I was
transferred to the Iowa and finally
worked up to gun-pointer. After a
time l got my c. P. o. rating-chief
petty officer. first-class gunner.
The various navies differ in many
ways, but most of the differences
would not be noticed by any one but
a sailor. Every sailor has a great deal
of respect for the Swedes and Nor
wegians and Danes; they are born
sailors and are very daring, but, of
course, their navies are small. The
Germans were always known as clean

the same rations and equipment as the
regular French army before it went to
the front. Their food consisted of
bread, soup, and vino, as wine is called
almost everywhere in the world. In
the morning they received half loaf
of Vienna bread and coffee. At noon
they each had large dixie of thick
soup, and at three in the, afternoon
more bread and bottle of vino. The
soup was more like a stew-very
thick with meat and vegetables. At
one of the officers barracks there was
a cook who had been chef in the larg-
est hotel in Paris before the war.
All the prisoners were we'll clothed.
Once a week, socks, underwear, soap,
towels and blankets were issued to
them, and every week the barracks
and equipment were fumigated. They
were given the best of medical atten-
ton.
Besides all this, they were allowed
to work at their trades, if they had
any. All the carpenters, cobblers,
tailors and painters were kept busy,
and some Of them picked up more
change there than they ever did in
Germany, they told me. The musi-
clans formed bands and played almost
every night at restaurants and thea
tiers in the town. Those who had no
trade were allowed to work on the
roads, parks, docks and at residences
about the town.
Talk about dear old Jail! You could
not have driven the average prisoner
away from there with a 14-inch gun.
l used to think about them in Bran
denburg, when our boys were rushing
the sentries in the hope of being bay
onetted out of their misery.
While our cargo was being unloaded
l spent most of my time with nv
grandmother. I had heard still more
about the cruelty of the Huns, and
made up my mind to get into the SER
vice. Murray and Brown had already
enlisted in the Foreign Legion, Brown
being assigned to the infantry and
Murray to the French man-of-war Cas-
sard. But when I spoke of my inten-
ton. my grandmother cried so much
that | promised her I would not enlist
that time, anyway-and made the
return voyage in the Virginian. We
were no sooner loaded in Boston than
back to st. Nazaire we went.
