His ship had sailed from an Eastern Canadian' port, and had been thoroughly sup-. plied with warm clothing by the Red Cross representatives there, and now he came to the Society's Headquart- ers at the request of his shipmates, to express their gratitude, and his own, for what the Red Cross had done for them.
