Salisbury Cathedral, From the Nearby Lake.

Of pinnacles and spire in the center Of
the greensward.
The Tower and Spire.
| Without its spire the cathedral at
Salisbury would still have been a mar
vel of architectural beauty; with it's
tower and spire 1t stands complete as
the browning triumph of English ar
chitecture throughout the ages. For
over a century the building stood with
a low, stunted central tower. Then, in
1880, came the daring conception of
raising tower and spire soaring to a
height of more than 400 feet. The bold
ness of the idea, and the danger of 1t,
inspired the builders with constant
care. They knew that the riverside
earth on which they had to build was
too marshy to bear the sOlidity usually
connected with tower structures, and
they planned and worked with extreme
caution. Giving to the tower walls the
ightest possible construction, banding
the parts ingeniously, and even leaving
within the building the wooden frame
work to serve as an additional sup
port, the builders worked daringly on |;
but when they approached the spire
construction they had not TIE temerity
to give it thickness of more than two
feet at the base, and of nine inches
from little above the base to the top
most pinnacle.
Within and without they added fly
ing buttresses. Even then the spire
began to lapse from the perpendicular,
and TIE worst was feared when a devil
alton of two feet occurred; but since
the careful examination made by Sir
Christopher Wren no further signs of
insecurity have appeared.
What Salisbury Cathedral owes to
the magic grace of its tower and spire
it is easier to realize than to express.
The whole building was transformed
by the architectural daring which had
enough poetic insight to picture what
could be done by Gaping an already
beautiful, but somewhat featureless
structure, by an eXquisitely proper
toned tower, surmounted by a slender
and soaring spire, the highest in Eng
land. Though constructed half cen
fury later than the body of the cathe-
dral, the tower and spire-so refined
was the artistic perception of these
early builders-were in harmony with
the whole construction. nf
With marvellous grace this triumph
of early English art blends nave, choir,
and transepts. tower and spire, in an
architectural unity that has no COM
peer within our isles. Here we have
church of one period and of one de-
sign, not, as in most cathedrals, an
epitome in stone of English history
from the Norman on through the ear
~ English and decorated periods to
the perpendicular.

- Why the Site Was Changed.
Tie founders of the new cathedral

One reason mentioned in the bull OBJ

the billy situation of Old Sarum placed
so stormy that not only was it often
difficult to hear the words of the serv-
Ice, but the structure became in con-
slant need of repair. Another trouble
was the insufiiciency of the water sup

of all, the military in the neighboring

show that they, and not the ecclesias-

all her passengers, 81 altogether, had
gathered on deck and were greeted by
us with resounding hurrah, to which
they responded in the same way.
Their joy is not easy to describe. To
drift without aim, almost without
hope, in the darkness and cold of the
Polar night, with bad and insufficient
food, in cold and unclean quarters,
and in constant dread of getting so
far north that rescue would be i'm
pOSSible-that is an ordeal so hard
that it rs not every one who would
come through it entirely unscathed.
Immediately after we arrived the
captain of the Solovei and his wife
and all the passengers, seven in num-
Der, came on board. They were invit-
ed into the saloon and treated to re-
freshments, which, they evidently APP
preciated. One of them said it was
like coming into paradise after their
anxieties. The passengers asked leave
to transfer to the Sviatogor as they

request. Then we set to work to put
provisions and coal ON board the Solo
vel, SO that the crew could at once
prepare proper meal with something
better to eat and drink than they had
had in the last few months.
Second Relief Ship Arrives.
About four o'clock in the morning
we were awakened by loud hurrahs
from the crew of the Solovei, who
were hailing the arrival of the Kama
da, which had at last also go. through.
Had the Kanada not been so fortunate
as to get into the lane made In the
ice by the SviatOgor, it would have
been hardly possible for her arrive
so soon. Next day we shipped more
coal and provisions on board the Solo
vel, and were helped with hearty good
will by the crews of the two Russians.
This done we started in the after
noon of June 20 on our homeward voy-
age, the Sviatogor leading and the
Solovei and Kanada following At
first the ice was loose and fairly easy
to get through, but afterwards it be-
came closer and more difficult to force.
There was fog. too, which made itim-
possible to keep proper observation of
the ice conditions. Consequently we
often had TO stop fairly long time,

1t was evening on the Dist when we
reached the Kara sea entrance, and
there we were again obliged to stop
for thick fog.
We resumed our voyage at o'clock

die of the Kara strait, but at 2 80

began to tranship coal to the Solovei

her off. A diver from the Kanada ex-
amined the ships bottom and pro-
nOunced the damage not serious. So
we continued our voyage to Bielushya
bay, where we handed over more pro-
visions and supplies to the Russians
and took on coal from the Harde for
