In the report of the tOrpedoing Of

troops In the Mediterranean last sum-

bridge with the captain when the ship
was struck, and he did much to allay
the excitement by shouting through
the megaphone to the troops, keep
your heads, men. Dinna get excited.
It's a RIGHT. Nae hurry" and so on.
The sight Of the small boy with a
megaphone as big as himself advising
the soldiers to keep cool made many
laugh and Quieted many nerves. The
boy did many other things, and at the
end the captain found he had dis
obeyed orders and was still on the
bridge when everyone else had left the
ship. When the captain told him to
"clear out" he said, I'll no GO till you
go, sir" The captain then caught him
by the coat and slung him overheard
into the destroyer before jumping him

sagged. his limbs began to drag. It
was all that Jacket could do to keep
him going. The boy. now that there
was actual need of him, proved a per-

his faith never faltered, and O'Reilly
began to feel dumb gratitude at haV-

Jacket, too, became thin and gray
about the lips. But he complained not
at all and he laughed a great deal. To
him the morrow was always another
