4 wy _-- ""O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea! 12? Have you ever been at sea in a storm and seen the clouds lowering; the wind rising and the waves running mountains high, decks treacherous and the crew anxious? Unless you have, you cannot imagine its awful majesty, or the courage it calls up and the spirit it commandsin men. Many Canadians Have Never Seen the Sea-- The Real Sailor's Ship i is the Tramp Steametes r Yet the sea is Canada's World-Trade highway. The sea and the Merchant Sailors make us prosperous. But the Merchant Seaman's life is hard and perilous; je wag continuous battle against the forces of nature. The real sailor js not the 'deck - steward or attendant on comfortable ocean liners. His ship is no floating palace. His voyage no 'pleasure trip. or Windjammer, beating ales--decks awash--slecp a stranger for days and nights on "end.

Spirit, by making life more endurable to Canadian Sailors... And it is for this purpose that a portion of the Navy League's Fund is set aside. To carry on its work next year, the Navy ue must have $760,000. This money must be raised next week. Itis not a large amount and borne in proportion from Coast to Coast it must surely be subscribed.
