weaker links who goes to ttaronto or ouelph or brampton to spend the money which you earned ln georgetown if you are just remember that the prosperity of this community is reflected by the amount of

battleships i found myself at sea in a motor tor pedo boat which is the smallest of our menofwar brie was 70 feet long carried two torpedo tubes some depth charges and an antiaircraft armament the com plement consisted of two officers and eight ratings the battleship carried sixteen hundred and it was interest ing to reflect that by a combination of circumstances it might be possible for one of these seventyfoot hornets to dlaablt and even sink a 35000 ton battelsmp in outline these boats resemble a flatiron and economy in space which is of course a feature of all ships is carried to a fine art in a motor tor pedoboat the living spaces for both officers arid men are in the fore part of the btiat the crew occupy one corapartmerit out of which opens the tiny galley while the captain and his navigator usually a lieutenant and a sublieutenant rnvr occupy an other ther is folding bunk accommoda tion for all and they can when nec essary liv on board for considerable periods although when at their bases crews of boats not at short notice live in parent ships or ashore as in the case of submarines motor- torpedo boats are manned by picked men these ratings receive special equipment and certain tinned rations which as in the case of submarines are officially called comforts there are times when they most need a lot of comforting when the boat is running on her main engines the roar of the exhaust make conversation impossible wet and wild in any seaway the water drives over her in a continuous sheet as she boun ces from one wave top to tht next life on board under these conditions is one long shower bath the captain and coxwaln stand on a thick soft rubber pad vhicr absorbs some of the shock as the boat strikes each successive sea the rest of the crew wherever they happen to be just keep their knees bent and hold on to whatever is handy there must be moments when thej wonder whe ther the next jolt won t knock their backbones through the top of their heads rest before action i found myself on board one of these craft late one afternoon one ol seeral moored alongside a jetty and the rreas were sitting about the decks basking in the sun some lay out stretched with their gas masks for pillows asleep but e cr in this hour of relaxation one or two gunners were fiddling with the mechanism of their guns with a 1 brush and a tin of oil one man was putting a touch of paint on one of the torpedo tubes where a wire had chafed it while he worked he sang softly to mmielf somebody else put his head and shoulders out of the forward hatch and begar handing round cups of tea as the sun was setting the lieutenants in command came down the pier and climbed on board they had been to a council of war ashore ten o clock said oar captain brief ly get your suppers early and tarn in for a few boara it u be an all bright ihoa some hours later the stillness of the harbour was broken by the roar of the high power engines as tht began warming through there w e a few brief orders one by one boats glided seaward the noise in ased as they gathered speed and presenty there was nothing round us but the roaring darkness and the furrow of our wake pale in the starlight on the enemys front after some hours the sound of the engines dropped abruptly to a soft purring note the night was very calm a while later the navigator em erged from the connlngtower door he glanced at the dimly lit binnacle murmured something and pointed through the darkness the boat re duced speed till she barely carried steerage way the reflections or the stars swayed and danced in the broad wave that curved back from our bows i could see it then a dark object fine on the pert bow that s it said the captain the outlne of a buoy oomed up and slid past us thats two milej from the enemy coast said the navigator in the comparative still- ness ttv sound of aircraft passing ov erhetd was plainly audible a moment later the darkness ahead suddenly became a lattice of search light beams they wheeled and con centrated spread fanwlsc and joined their points in clusters that swayed uneasily and revealed specks of tinsel that eluded them while flashes of gunfire spouted into fountains of trace- shell the dull mutter of the german guns reached us across the water and then the woomp of ex ploding bombs good old raj i said the coxwaln at the wheel knocking seven bells out of the bosch woompi said the british bombs por two hours they continued to sa the same thing with splendid monot ony woompi woompi woompi the searchlights sway ed like fiery girders of some titanic structure about
