sAlLoRMEN MAKING TRADITION

The sailormen have been making
tradition during the nine days Of
ferocious gales on the wide Atlantic,
traditions that contribute to the
morale and the good name of those
who go down to the sea in ships in
these modern days of S o signals.
But If making tradition they make no
pretense about 1t.
I'VE merely did our duty is the
comment of Fried. captain Of the
President Roosevelt that stood by the
sinking Antinoe for four long days
and sacrificed two brave men in the
rescue of the Antinoe's crew.
"Any other Sailors would have
done the same" added Fried. Be
that as it may the dispatches show
that they have been trying to do SC
throughout these terrible days. The
Belgian liner, Arminco. rescued in
the midst Of high seas the entire crew
of sinking Norwegian freighter and
counted it all in the days work
And there have been others.

the fact that his substitute. which he

MAINE GOSSIP


Woods In Maine
In unploughed Maine he sought the
lumberer's gang,
Where from a hundred lakes young
rivers sprang;
He trod the implanted forest moor,
wherein
The all-seeing sun for ages hath not
Shone;
Where feeds the moose and walks the
surly bear,
And up the tall mast runs the wood
pecker.
He heard when in the grove at inter-
walls.
With sudden roar, the aged pine tree
falls
One crash, the death hymn of the per-
feet tree,
Declares the close Of its green century.
Low lies the plant to whose creation
went
Sweet influence from every element;
Whose living towers the years con-
spired to build,
Whose giddy top the morning loved to
gild.
