The naval officer of a century age

Marrya, in "Peter Simple," describes
the "club hauling" of a line of battle-

feat of resourceful seamanship.

LIFE IN GREENLAND.
Summers Pleasant and Winters Not
So Bad, a White Woman Writes.
Certain tvieite men in the Danish Gov-
ernment service live along the south-
west Mast of Greenland. ROW de the
European women and Mildreat thrive in
that Arctic land. It. is interesting to
hear front one of them women, wao hos
written to the German paper A,usland
that on tbe whole they like Greenland,
have many simple pleasuies there, their
children are happy and. robuit and the
natives are simple, jolly and indllEitri.

Godthaab, the capital of the colony of
South Greenland. The white Women
spend many of the summer hours on
the hills or in the gardens.
"My garden," she writes, "from the
Greenland point of view, is a great sue -

parts. On one side beets, radishes, cab-
bages and some other vegetables grow
lustily and mature even in the abort

"Sometimes," the narrative centinues,
"we hear a joyous shout, 'The post, the

"We see a boat coming up the bay
