"All Hlands to Church" Tho _proliminaries didn’t lake long this ygliir, thcre being no decorating to do, and about 10.30 all hands went to church.

All packed in a-nest. strollsly-made metal sox, which I expect, will become valuable and as treasured as the South Africa chocolate boxes. This evening as many as could squeeze in gathered under the canvas screens on upper deck where alone lights are allowed--all outside being in black darkness, lit only by the lurid language of those who bark nose or shin against the thousand and one oh- `stacles which fill every upper deck gangvvay. Smoking was not allowed on nisss dock-the one gi-‘eat Christmas privil- ege-on account of aiuinunitioii hang- ing round the gun positions, and in tender memory of the fate ofthe Bul- wark. Both in l’.O.'s and men's screens a concert is in progress,ihe P.().'s hav- ing the privilege of the piano--which has a tiinbre and quality all its own since its keys and other parts were rescued from the waterways aiid col- _lected in a bucket, after our last rough _night at sea. Some genius has patch- eil it up and it was in great demand this evening. Our old pensioners fairly came out of their shells, and we heard the good old songs of your day again-tlie “Chiuee Bumboatmnn" and “ From Ushant to Scilly is 45 leagues." l Guns Aiyaws Ready The guns have been kept constantly Iniannd all day-in relief-thc crews muffled up in the Duffel suits and Arc- tic hclmets with the bitter N.

TIIE NURTII ing Plymouth we _were detailed as gusrdship at a certain place. Here life was painfully uneventful at first. for we were at the Back of Beyond. We lay week after week, torpedo nets out, guns manned day and night. Lying in- visible in the shadow of high land after dark, not a. glimmer of light about to show and with our armed picket boats patrolling the entrance. After a while enemy ' submarines 'came along our way. and the possibil- ,ities inherent in this fact certainly ‘relieved the monotony. There was al- ways the possibility of something ,tugiiuz up near _us. ` ,Ile Illornlus a _submarine was sup- posed to have passed ua by in favor of-bigger game, and the ship insideus _opened fire upon It. There was noth- ‘ing doing, however, either side. On another occasion we found ourselves _at the entrance to a. harbor, where quite a school of thém were preparing to pay s. call, and we shoved off with the alacrity and bashfulness a short- sighted maiden lady might display taking an early morning constitution- al along the Maer beach on a Sunday 'in' August, and suddenly realizing she was_iu the uiiddle cf the bathing par- ode. "The Gentle Submarine" _ A; that time the submarine enjoyed an unholy reputation. but iuorc late- ly-it is being sneezed at again. it be- ing found that certain precautions cou- fer a fair amount of immunity from attack. _ The gentle submarine docsn’t have the sport all to itself. When our de- stroyers get fairly cn its track, cspcc-I ially in confined waters, it getslliunt- ed like a rat, and rumor luis it that more than oncc "the smile has been on the face of the tiger." - Later, wc had the experience of mov- ing through mined areas. Rather snai- ulating at first, and one unconscious- ly developed a preference for taking one's constitutional as far aft as pos- sible.

If there is any disposition to criticize ashore you may be sure the Navyman is'a`s` severe a critic as any, but we ‘know that none excepting the few know the situation as it_ _was that morning and to criticise in ignorance is not so much Dl‘0S“lI1PlU°“S 115 ab' d. s“II‘he Germans had a bit Of IUCK 81141 ‘they risked it lot which happened to get it. _ ::Our prescription department is at your service-it offers you the best in pure drugs, carefully compounded by an expert pharmaceutist at it very moderate price.

A plan successfully used during thc past scnson by tho Fre- mont (lo~opi-ralivc (fonipany. was that of packing two or more varieties in the same barrel. Applesfthus packed were, of course. designed for a special trade. A solici- tor was employed io secure orders in a prosperous Indiana ir_uvn. Orders for various couiliinatioiis were taken. These were then filled in thc com- pun_\"s packing house. Iinldwins and Spies, Bnlilwins :mtl Wagcnors, and Hnlilwins and Green- ings, wcrc the favorite coinbinntions.
