A young tank officer whom I knew hefore the war and whom I know 'to be truthful, tells me an honest-ap- pearing British sergeant, in turn, told him that a week or two before the war's end the British, having cleaned up a nest of enemy machine guns, sent a detail out to bury the dead says an American writer. The squad had buried two Germans; then they came upon the body.of one of their own meri who had fallen in the fight- ing two days earlier, when the British made their first attack upon the Ger- mans, only to be forced back and then to come again with better success. The sergeant who stood sponsor for the~narrative declared that, as he bent over the dead Englishman to un- 'fasten the identification tag from the wrist, he saw something was fastened to the.dead man's arm. This some- thing was partly hidden under the body. Becoming instantly suspicious, he warned the other men to stand back; and then, kneeling down and feeling about cautiously, he came upon 'a bomb, so devised that a slight jar or a slight pull would set it off. Before they fell back, the surviv- ing Germans had attached this devil- ish thing to the corpse with the bene- volent intention of blowing to bits the first man among' the' victors who {should undertake the poor clay with 'intent to give it decent burial.

FIRTH OF FORTH A FINE NAVAL HARBOR WHERE THE ©SURRENDERED HUN, SHIPS ARE INTERNED Landlocked) Waters Studded With Beautiful Islands Where Miles of Ships Can Lie at Anchor. No more beautiful setting for the mighty Grand Fleet could be imag- ined than the great estuary of the Firth, of Forth, where, wider the pro- tection of the big guns of the fort- vess of the "defended pott" as the pumerous fortified points are called, ! mile after mile of ships can lie at anchor. The beautiful "Links | of, Forth," declared to-surpass in value "an earldom: of the north," ate ro- taantically as well as practically the setting of the greatest naval review in all time. The sharp outline. of the Castle; Rock of Edinburgh, * The Pentland , Hills, Arthur's Seat and the Colton ; hill to the south, and the great range; of ee known a8 the Highiand | Barrier beyond the Fiteshire hills to' the north, surround the landlocked , waters which are themselves studded | with beautiful islands.

A Pear-Shaped Estuary. The Firth of Forth is a pear-shaped estuary, some eight miles long and sever at its widest part, and the defended zone commerces at a line drawr. from the port of Leish to the of Metkeith to Kinghorn, i Bridge, which is itself a mile or so cast of the naval base atRosyth.

The personnel of the hospital ship differs from a shore hospital in that the nurses are' men. The night.of the Empire is never more apparent than when such a fleet is gathering for a review. The officers of the British. Navy, unlike those of avy other navy in the world, navi- gate their shins into all ports them- selves, without taking on board pilots;-and through the mazes of the | channels of the Firth of Forth. the ships wend their way. j Seamanship Required Here. Some idea of the seamanship which is required is understood when it is remembered that a line-of-battle ship, even with reversed engines, re- quires a mile to stop when steaming ahead, and when coming to anchor, must steam slowly away 'from the anchor after it has touched bottom, | for the mass 'ef weight would snap | any eable ever constructed if any | sudden relaxation of tension were permitted. On 'approaching territorial waters, British navigating officers board | ships belonging to any other navies | and bring thers into port. i At night the wark waters of the; whole estuary assume the appearance } of a great city. The ships seem to! completely fill up the water, and their many lights, unshaded again, now war is over, light up the swirl- irg waters, while overhead the great searchlights light up the shores on either side, turning night into day for the whole grand estuary. Every jslet. every beach and headfand stands out in picturesque detail, one of the most beautiful sights . being Bambogle Bay and Castle, and the quondam smuggler's haunts of Cram- mond Isle and the mouth of the Al- mond River. On the north side of the Forth, the Fifeshire coast with its many wooded shores, is as beauti- ful as the south. Donnybristh Bay Burnteisland, Aberdour and the pic- turesque old Kinghorn, that home of | early shinbuilding, once lighted by | the searchlights, each fishing hamlet and village standing out in strong relief.

SOR as i The Sea Kings. Since the Golden Hind went round the Horn and circled a world unknown, Wherever the tides of God have beat, and the winds of God have blown, From the sunrige seas to the. sun- down. seas; by the storm with the spindrift whirled, The sons of men who sailed with Drake have ruled the water world. And whether they sail from Plymouth Hoe, or out of the Golden Gate, They are brothers in blood linked heart to hearty and to a resistless fate; For the quenchless ardor to rale the seas, which time can never slake, Makes the same blood race through the nation's veins that throbbed from the heart of Drake.
