MY BROTHER

(To c. H. c.
Thy spirit has passed away from
earth;
Thou hast left Us, Rubber" dear;
No more beside our lonely hearth
Thy gentle voice will hear.
We will not sing again the songs,
In tones our hearts would thrill
The music of thy voice is gone,
In death forever still.
Wen never forget thee, Rubber"
+ dear,
With flowers thy tomb we'll entwine;
And hearts that fondly loved thee
here
Thine image will enshrine.
Yet we know there is heavenly rest,
a bright world above,
Where thy sweet spirit, ever blest,
will watch DER those you love.

r ONDON, May 1.-THE admiralty
has issued the following graphic
~ story of the Ostend operations:
"Dunkrk, May 1.-THE Sirius lies
in the surface some two thousanl
yards east Of the entrance to Ostend
harbor, which she failed so gallantly
to block, and when in the early hours
of yesterday morning, the Vindictive
grophed her way through the smoke
screen and headed for the entrance II
was as though the old fighting spirit
awoke and looked on.
"A coastal motorboat had visited
her and hung a flare in her sack
and rusty rigging and that eye Of un-
steady fire watched the whole great
enterprise from the moment when 1t
hung in doubt to its ultimate success.
THE planning and extension of that
success had been entrusted by Admir-
al Sir Robert Keyes to Commodore
Hubert Lynes, who directed the prev
lous attempt to block the harbor with
the Sirius ana Brilliant. Upon that
occasion a combination of unforeseen
and unforseeable conditions had
fought against him
Upon this the main problem was
to secure the effect of a surprise at
tack upon an enemy who was clearly
expecting him The Sirius and Bril-
liant had been baffled by the displace-
ment of the Stroom bank buoy
which marks the channel to the har-
bor entrance. But since then aerial
reconnosance had established that
the Germans have removed the buoy
altogether and that there now were no
guiding marks of any kind. They had
cut gaps in the piers as a precaution
against the landing, and further, 1t was
known that nine German destroyers
were at large upon the coast
at was a night that promised well
for the enterprise. The sky was lead
blue, family star-dotted. with no
moon, and a still sea for small craft
whose work was done close in shore.
FURRY of Gunfire.
From Dunkirk sudden brief
furry of gunfire announced that Ger
man airplanes were on the way %
visit Calais and over the invisible
coast of Flanders the summer light
ming of restless artillery rose and fell
monotonously.
There the Vindictive, the seamen
and marines standing by the torpedo
tubes anG guns turned to gaze at the
black ship, seen mistily through the
screening smoke from the destroyers'
tunnels. ploddng silently to her goal
and end.
They Saw No More.
"She receded into the night astern,
as a destroyer raced on to lay light
buoy that was to be her guide, and
these on board saw her no more. She
passed thence into the hands of the
small craft, whose mission was to
guide her, list her and hide in the
clouds of a smoke screen.
There was no preliminary bonn
