It was ou September 5, 1800, that, after the French garrisen, with famine painted on their cheeka, bad inarcb- cd .proudly ont, the besiegers marcbed procdly in sud England formaîiy teeli pos- sess-!iofe Valetta the beantiful, This city la an cailed fnem tbe neble La Valett.e, the grand master wbo defended the stronghold frmn the- Otteman invaders. The Maltese, womeîî, on the occasion ni that carlier siege, net only tended the sick and wounded but belped te take their places among the fight- ers. The Tunrks were aided by an Algerine flotilla, thie Dey of Algiers bsing thse admir- ai ex-officie nf THSE PIRtATES of the Mediterranean. And it was one of the soienin duties undertaken by tise Knigbts of St. John topnctectbhonest Cbris-, tian marinera frani the assaulta of those murderous freebooters. The Orde.- was settled in Nlalta in 1534 sud the siege just refesred te teele place in 1565. Terrible evidence of the determination that icspired both assaiants and defenders waa afforded by the mines that they prspared for ech otber's destruction. The Turksa, never dreaming that those wîtbin Fort St. Elmo, 4W0d ùs~eiv-d their tactica, laid their mep. î'Ihe Chriajiaun 'mald a cottotermine, so tha~ wben the outer mine had been spruog, the Moslem mcsbed tnwards tbe sxpected breach lu the walis only te be b ,lewn te pisses.

But time wrougit a wondrons chanige. in the relationa hetwssn the Knigbts nd their neigbrs on sither aide.
