Famous Mu+iny

The most famous mutiny in
maritime history broke out in
1897. Mutineers led by Fletcher
Christian rebelled against the dis
cipline of Lieutenant William
Blight and set the commander
and Is men adrift in a small boat
in which they made a remarkable
voyage of safety.
The Hollywood movie version
makes it appear Blight's official
cruelty was extraordinary in the
British navy and that the mutiny
caused whipping of sailors to be
ended. It wasn't extraordinary,
and sailors continued to be dashed
for another 100 years.
It wasn't Blight's cruelty, but
the regret of the men at leaving
their paradise in Tahiti, that
caused the nutiny. The average
age of the % mutineers was
twenty six. - Philadelphia In

had practically forgotten her an

quite a gay time.
Thereafter she held herself in

"Countess?" He frowned. Count

I don't get it.
"Redhead?" Cecily's eyes opened
wide. "Why, she is a redhead, isn't
she! Flaming red. And I'm bru-

her lip. And when he seemed on the

forestalled him by a method that

A step sounded, and she whirled.
A wave of indignation, guilt and

''Beautiful!" The word was spo-

Attired once more in her starched

of Basil Nutter, wondering what the
real Countess de Villegby could be
like to exert such an influence on a
Harvard football hero. She deter
mined to return later in the evening
on some pretext. She wanted to see
what royal blood looked like.
But by midnight the Countess
hadn't returned, and Cecily went to
bed. The next day at noon she met
Basil Nutter in the narrow corridor

pleasantly.
