Ship discipline was nearly de-
moralized one day when Flambeau
called in a little Cockney English
deck steward to supplement the
talk on London, because the boy
had been born within the Sound
of Bow Bells" as they say. The
steward was eloquent and the pas
sengers applauded. but the Brit
ish captain was annoyed. Every
man on board was expected to
know his place and keep it. he ex-
planned.
But since the war, It Is pretty
hard for young heroes to keep
their place" This very deck

IMMORTAL WORD TO HIM.
\ At the close of the war he was
but twenty-three, yet Fame had
whispered an immortal word to
him when the commander, just be-
fore a North Sea encounter, re-
minded him, the signal man, my
boy, remember you are the eyes Of
the ship!' He had been torpedoed
twice, had sailed with some OF
the most noted British naval Off
GERS, yet today he had to be re-
proved for accepting an invitation
TO say a word about his native city
to an audience of American pas
sengers, who had applauded en-
Enthusiastically.
Up and down the decks now and
then was seen a crazy countess,
an Italian lady Of high family, who
gave all for her country in its dis

serves as nurse and stewardess in
the ships hospital, doing very
braveIy the most menial work and
wearing all the while the Italian
Red Cross decoration.
