They believed most things their officers told then, but it was of no use to tell them that men built this great float- ing town. No. Allah must have made it! Pointing to the two steam tugs lying side by side in the harbor, they asked how soon it would take these lessee ,craf1 to grow to the size of the transport, which must be their moth- er. The tables and benches on the troop deck of the -ship were an un- necessary eneunebrance to'the black men, whoIknew not whether to sit on the tables and rest their feet on the benches, or to sit on the benches, us- ing the tables as a support for their basks. When the officers began to issue the usual hammocks there wad' the wild excitement of children with a new and wonderful toy. Climbing in at one side the black men fell out at the' other, and thought it all the greatest fun in the world. The navigation of the ship was a mystery to the Africans. - The popu- lat' theory was that tine were pulled along by"a wire under the sea. Many; attached considerable importance to the log line on the stern of the ship, supposing that it somehow enabled the skipper to find his way across the aeeen, ;while a'few maintained that it .was a means of catching fish.

And the soldier's life even 1makes for longevity. It is estimated that the average.

" 'Mid pleasures" (scrub) "an' pal- aces" (scrub) "tho' we may" (scrub) `roam—" "Jane!";called the mistress, stern- ly, "I ain tired of hearing 'Home, Sweet Home.' Sing 'The Campbells are Coming'."
