RCM FOR CANADIAN NAVY.
Over 1f)0 Applications for Positions
Already Received.
A deepatclt from Ottawa says:-
Over
ays:-
ffver a hundred applications have
been received at the Marino De-
partment for positions in the pro-
posed Canadian navy. • Included in
the: number are applications from
several tuen who have served in the
British navy and aro now on the
reserve. It is not likely, however,
that any large proportion of those
will be engaged, but younger men
sought. The wages of the officers
will be similar to those which ob-
tain in the British navy, but the
soak for the crew will bo higher,
and more along the line of what is
paid in the united States. It is ex-
pected that the cruiser Rainbow
will arrive in Canada early in June.

says: -- The submarine Cigogone
performed a remarkable life-saving
feat during a recent storm. The

fishing craft, of which the masthead
alone was above waiter. The valves
