NOTHING Unusual. !.

A sentry post atop the Rock Of
Glib, has standing orders to report
anything unusual which occurs. One
night q soldier walking near this post,
fell over the side, dropped 1000 feet
and quite naturally was killed. The
body was recovered the next morn
ing by the shore patrol. All Of the
men who had been on duty the night
before ere called up before s. o. p.
and questioned regarding the incident.
One sentry boldly admitted having
seen the man killed.
"Why didn't you report this imme-
diately"
well, sir, my orders are to report
anything unusual and I couldn't see
where there was anything unusual
about a man being killed after he falls
a thousand feet !"-Far Seas.
