For the regular army tho numlaa
or rea-alta enlisted in tha period ‘on-
lar roviaw was 29,824, and for tha
militia 25,774, these nguros showing
a large diminution on the numbers in
the corresponding period of previous
years. ~
The falling ofl, howevar, says the
Inspector-General of Recruiting, ,is
aasily explained. At the commence-
ment of the year. in consequence .of
the special recruiting for the mount-
ad corps during the war, practiqlly
all those corps were vary largelygia
axosas of the establishment. For this
reason recruiting has been either
partially or wholly suspended in tha
casa of those corps during the whole
period covered IW the report.
The order that no recruityaa in
future to be accepted who could not
produce a satisfactory reference aa to
his character and antecodents. also
relilliwd in a diminution of numbers,
and in March last year the stand-
;  ' ~ _ _ -.  ~_ _ '_ i lrdl of height for recruits in certain
_ ~ ~  corp) were materially raised.

and few are better qualinadtoabeall " '
ul' these than Mr. Robert Raford of F\ 6  Z e
Montreal, says The Globe On one -_
uiost interesting account of his ax-
|»l~ric»nces as a merchant in Toronto,
win-re he conducted huninaas in the
.vlurket nearly fifty years ago. At
lliut time a line of four schooners of
about 450 tons ran for three years
lil-tween Liverpool and Toronto, con-
liulliug on to Chicago. Mr. Reford
rr-<~1\lll><l the names of two ol them,
lliu Wirraliglit and tha Jack de Mols.
Among Mr. Rc-ford’s possessions of
that time was the schooner Sea Gull,
of about 800 tons. In 1869 his
fl-il-url Capt. Frank Jackman of To-
ronto suggested fitting this vessel out
with a cargo for Port Natal, now
llurban, South Africa, where the
r-uptain had a friend, through whom
in-_ felt confident a very proiltlbll
sale of the cargo could be made.
“\VclI, but," said Mr. Reford to the
l-uptoln, "what will wa lead her
\\*ith'I" and at the captain'l Images-
tion lumber was the cargo, but 200
barrels of whiskey, at that time sell-
ing- for about 25 cents a gallon, and
s quantity oi general merchandise
ul-rv ndded. A seafaring conintander
wus secured at Quebec and the vo_v-
age begun. After a. long delay in the
doldrurns at the equator the Sea.
Gull reached Cape Town, where 'sho
had tha misfortune of losing her an-
chors in a storm. A similar experi-
cuue was also met at Rort Eliza-
beth. The schooncr_ finally arrived off
Port Natal in n storm, which car-
ril-d her 200 miles away. Returning
she was again driven past thc port,
Iillt made it on the third attempt,
running straight into it little stream,
which loft her high and dry when the
tide Wont out.
Now was Captain Jackman'a
chance to make a fortune by the sole
of his cargo, but, alas, the popula-
tion oi Natal had little use for lum-
ber or whiskey. The natives had ris-
en, and the white population were in
terror for their lives, their greatest
desire be g to be taken away. ’l`he_
lumber se ed usclr-ss for uu_vthiug
but. cofllns. was unloaded, und su-
gar, rum, 0 rich feathers and bn-
hoons shipped in its plilcc, bvsillcs 50
passengers anxious to be tnkcu anv-
whora else, With this cnrgo and the
whiskey still on board the rl-turn
voyage was mode to Boston. Wheth-
cr from the presence of the ripening
whiskey on board or oth(-r\\'isl~ Mr,
Refcrd did not explain, hut thc unin-
koys behaved so badly thnt nulv two
reached America nlivc. Ami ul'll-rl|i<-
vlinrging her cargo at lllislmi ll-|»
Sl-i1 Gull rcturnell to 'l`or0ntu, \\lll»|~l-
the baboons wore turn:-rl nw-r to lin-
liirht thc juvenile portion nl tho
population.
Mr. Tleford added that tin- llws on
the venture was not more thuu SIL-
500.
Such was the tale that was told in me
ily that modest and truthful son of the sea;
And I envy the life of a sc-cond mate,
Thou h captains curse hlm and sailors hate,
For Ee's not like some of the awaba I'vl
seen
as would 'go and tio to a poor_mu-lu.
