The methods by which he sank three â€" submarines are now . well known, but the ordeal which he and his crews underwent during these actions bas never yet been thoroughâ€" ty appreciated. Here is one undying picture he gives of the crew of the fore gun of themystery ship Dunraven during her engagement with the U.C. 7.; "They sat on the deck when it was | getting redâ€"hot, knowing the magazâ€" ines were underneath. _ One young fellowâ€"1 think it was Martindaleâ€"| tore up his shirt to stuff up their' mouths to keep the fumes out; others . lifted the boxes of cordite off the, deck on o their knees to delay thon' exploding. They knew all the time they must be blown up, and they also | knew that if they moved (thereby revealing to the enemy their presence on a supposedly abandoned ship) they might spoil the show." This cameo of courage was shown on a ship alone in the Bay of Biscay, on fire, sinking, torpedoed, with depth charges exploding and magazâ€" ines going off at odd intervals. Floating Furnace The men lay uncomplainingly on the deck of the floating furnace, hopâ€" ing against hope that the submarine would show herself long enough lor‘ them to get in a shot. ‘ The aft gun crew fared little betâ€" ter . Their magazine exploded unâ€" der y‘em, blowing gun and entire crew into the air. By a stroke of good fortune not a single man was killed, one of them finishing up in the sea, while the others landed on amouflage trucks, made of canvas and wood on deck. Even in this perdicament discipline was upperâ€" most in their minds. camouflag« and wood perdicame most in t "Bonner "Bonner, who had landed on the trucks, crawled on to the bridge, in spite of te‘ing badly wounded in his head and burnt on his hands, and said to me, ‘I am sorry, sir, for leayâ€" ing my gun without orders. I think 1 must have been blown up!t‘" Admiral Campbell gives a further example of this wonderful discipline. Drilling his crew in preparation for Uâ€"boat attacks he always gave two orders, "Torpedo coming,‘ and "Torâ€" pedo hit." After the second, the "panic‘ party bad to rush for the boats and abandon ship. One day came a real attack, and the order "Torpedo coming" ws du’.y‘ given. _A moment later the torpedo exploded with a crash that shook the ship from stem to stern and threw many of the crew off their feet. ‘ "I saw some of the men rushing for the boats, but on looking over the tront of the bridge I saw a group of men still smoking and lolling over the side when they ougbt to have been ‘panicking‘! I shouted out to know why the something something they weren‘t rushing for the boats. â€""The repliy was, ‘Waiting for the order, sir, Torpedo hit!‘" That was not the only comic aspect of an action ‘that resulted in the sinking of Uâ€"83. § When it was all over the mystery swhip herself was in grave danger of going to the bottom, Campbell and his chief efficer, armed only with a candle, went down in the waterâ€"logâ€" ged dark bunkers looking for the ship‘s cat. It was the same black cat which earlier in the fipht was blown over board, swam to the stern, then under water, and thus regained the ship. Admiral Campbell relates how, hayâ€" ing sunk his first submarine, U68, he paraded his crew immediately after the action and read to them the *Prayer of Thanksgiving for Victory," followed by three cheers for the King, Before he had time to dismiss the parade, "one of the wags had producâ€" ed the gramophone and put on the record, ‘Down Among the Dead Men Let Him Lie!‘" During this cruise, Campbell, in his disguise as the skipper of a tramp steamer, had grown a "very fine ginger beard which I was very proud of" He retained it when he went ashore on leave, and "expected my wife would grect me in the approved picâ€" ture paper fashion, by throwing her arms round my neck and weeping down my back. â€" But not a bit of it!

WoNEX OF MIDDLE AGE Empire Producing Much Raw Cotton Industry Will Soon Be Selfâ€" Contained Within Limits of British Territory Londonâ€"The British Empire now produces 30 per cent. of the world‘s raw cotton. This statement is made by the Empire Marketing Board in an announcement which it makes reâ€" garding the remarkable progress of British cotton growing. It is recalled how for centuries Britain was the home of the manufacture of cotton, while raw cotton all came from overâ€" seas, largely from the southern States of America. The American crop failed during the American Civil War, spreading misery and famine among hundreds of thousands of British cotton workâ€" ers. Thirty years ago one of the masâ€" ter spinners of Lancashire sent ten tons of cotton seed to British West Africa. â€" The experiment succeeded. More and more of the .great open spaces of the Empire are being plantâ€" ed and sown to insure a supply of raw cotton for the spindles and looms of Lancashire. ‘The supply now comes from East and West Africa, the Sudan, Rhoâ€" desia, South Africa, India, Australia and the British West Indies. The Empire‘s production of the world‘s raw cotton toâ€"day amounts to between 3,000,000,000= and 4,000,000,000 pounds yearly. So that before long it is preâ€" dicted that the cotton industry will be selfâ€"contained within the Empire. Greatness is to goodness what graâ€" vel is to porphyry; the one is a movâ€" able accumulation, swept along the surface of the earth; the other stands fixed, and alone, above the violence of war and of the tempest; above all that is residuous of a wasted world. Little men build up great ones; but the snow colussus soon melts; the good stand under the eye of God; and thereâ€" fore stand We bave trusted too much to the head and hand and have not Functionâ€" ed enough through the heart. Men who succeeed in any line must get head, band, and heart to function toâ€" gether.â€"Clarnece Howard.

With the market weak for a brief period, it would seem as though the shorts had increased rather than drawn in their lines, as there wr> not much opportunity for them to cover at yesterday‘s low levâ€" els. If this is the case their position is unenviable, to say the least, for the ’situatlon is that the stock which they have sold short is being called for deposit immediately. It does not apâ€" \pear likely that anyone who had had ‘enough confidence in Nickel to stay }wlth it through the somewhat stormy going that has obtained recently, will hold up their deposits of stock to acâ€" commodate those who have sold it short and done their best to destroy confiednce in the company itself, and all the factors that have gone to inâ€" | spire confidence in the stock. Shareâ€" iholders will immediately start depositâ€" ing their stock, and it looks as though the short would have to stand some calling for orrowed stock. They will elther have to buy in their lines or |for the next few days will be someâ€" what slim, although, of course, the shorts can make adjustments with the certificates of deposit. The fact that London is a heavy buyer of the ‘new stock at 33, indicating a value of l:nearly 290 for the present stock, naâ€" turally cannot offer much consolation _ for those who find themselves short.

Lonely Islanders of Tristan da Cunha Find Visits from Liners Increasing In 1926 the Royal Maii steamer Orca called, but it was too rough to land. In 1927 the Asturias paid a visit which was a great success; the weather was ideal, a large amount of stores was landed and 30 of the islandâ€" ers visited the largest ship which had ever called at the island. A few weeks later the Suveric called and landed over 40 tons of stores. In 1928 the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of France called and the visit marked a redâ€"letter day for the women and children of Tristan for they were received as guests and feted. Quickly following this visit came anâ€" o‘tjreri)y the Harrison liner Author, which landed stores. 7 There is a problem now of the surâ€" plus population of the island. Ships that call on their way from South Africa always go on to South America o that the necessity is for a ship that goes to and fro. Two schemes are being considered ; one is that a suitable vessel, manned as far as possible by islanders, should be purchased and should be worked under charter when not required for trips to the island. The other is for a vessel of a Cape steamship line to make a yearly visit to the island and back. The older inhabitants cling to Tristan, but some of the younger ones might be induced to launch out and settle at the Cape. The Cape Government has undertaken an inspection of the land near Walâ€" fish Bay with a view to such a settle ment. is "ullcls i Tristan da Cunha has the distincâ€" tion of owning a new bird hitherto unâ€" known to naturalists This is the fiightless rail or "Atlantisia Rogerei" to give it its full title. § Minard‘s Liniment: tor Backache. ured by the strength of your will is just the strength of the wish that les behind it.
