Model of "Vary Beale" Pieced In thtr
Church of St, Thomas.
Once uponn a time every British
naval officer on joining his slim had
to produce a eerttaccte ,showing that
he had made his oom nuuion. at the
Chureh of St. Thomas in Fortsulouth,
Zealand,
That began in Charles Il,'s day,
when the church wee already old, .as
old as time murder of 'rhoecias A.
Becket. All .down history it hes been
the sailors' place of woash11i, and
when Portsmouth became a btehoprio
to 1927 St. Thomas' beoanie the
cathedral church of the new diocese,
No wonder Portsmouth agreed to
set a ship in St. Thomas' as s me-
moriel "of all those Officers and Me*
of His Majesty's Navy, who through
many centuries have worshipped la
this Holy Place, and who have upon
the high seas served the Bing with
faithfulness and at the cost of their
lives."
More especially its commemorates
the men who fought in the Mary Rose
in 1669 and those who fought la the
Mary ' Rose of 1917.
There have been five Maty Roses
in British naval history. The first
sank 400 years ago, when Bluebear$
was Ring of England. A. piece of
wood from that wreck has been used
in making the memorial ship,
The second Mary Rose had the
glory of serving a.gainst'the Spanish
Armada. She sailed to singe the
King of Spain's beard with Howard
and Essex in 1596 and with Raleigh
to the Azores.
The third Mary Rose also sailed to
Cadiz, but on a disastrous expedition,
and she only escaped with her life to
be wrecked off Flanders in 1650,
The fourth Mary Rose was the
most famous. She ` fought (against
the Dutch) under Sir 'Join Kemp
-
theme, who commanded the fiags'hips
of Gen. Monk and Prince Rupert. But
her greatest adventure was off Cadiz
in' 1669. How often a Mary Rose
made history off Cadiz! This one was
attacked there by seven Algerian pir-
ates and beat them all 'single-
handed.
Two and a half centuries went by.
and then came the fifth Mary Rose.
She was a torpedo-boat destroyer,
built in 1016. In the autumn of 1917
she was given the perilous task of
convoying nine merchant ships across
the North Sea, With her was anoth-
er destroyer, the Strongbow. Two
very fast and,heavtly-armed German
raiders attacked the .merchant ships,
and the destroyers at once set upon
the raiders. They stood; about as
much chance as dogs attacking bison;
but Mary Roses do not surrender.
The fifth ship of that name sank with
her colors tying on Oct. 17, 1917.
To any eye but the sailor's there is
small beauty in a destroyer, and.
therefore the memorial ship has been
modelled on the fourth Mary Rose,
who fought the pirate ships in 1669.
She has been made in Portsmouth by
Mr. Breast Worsley, who has worked
from the specifications of the ship
built in Cromwell's day.
Sir. John Kempthorne, the gallant
fighter of pirates, is buried in the
church, so it was a happy choice to
hang the model near his tomb and to
ask one of his descendants, the Bide
op of Lichfield, to preach at the
service.

Aboard Stevens' boat, the Minerva, stood a tall, slim. man. He wore fence we're dead, eh? Well, then, last.
Stevens tells Lucy of his love, When khaki knickers and his white shirt had

she replies with contempt for

he grows violently angry and she be-
comes afraid of him, He says that
he will never let her go from the
Minerva until she accepts him, To
escape hiui,. she: leaps into the water
from her cabin window, swimming a
short distance under water.
The Minerva was making, she guess-
ed, an easy seven knots; unless 'some
one on deck had seen her or heard
the slight plash of her dive she would
not be observed, for though the Gulf'
Stream gleamed, it was the pale radi-
ance of stars that was reflected; the
moon, being new, cast no beam upon,
the sea. It would 'be eeveral'moments
before Stevens would give the alarm,
before the course of the Minerva
could be altered, its searchlight made
to play upon the waters, Only acci-
dent could aid them in finding
her; that accident could hardly ,be
avoided by a thirty-foot swimbe-
neath the water. Time enough to ex-
haust herself this when 'discovery
was imminent.
Her feet sagged until they hung
straight down; the tired arms rela..x-
ed; that black hair, shiny in the first
rays of the sun, dipped below the wa-
ter. And then her toes touched hard'
sand. She kicked violently, and her
head came above the surface.. Thee;

in the morning, was land. She had
been too tired, too hopeless to see.

was quite gray; green sun -glasses hid

the rest, be was clean-shaven, and
his hands seemed extraordinarily

good digestion. Why didn't you build

then I'd have smelled the coffee' and
gladdened your eyes with my presen-

"Always a purchase price," he sigh-

seems, with coffee.".

"Sure!" agreed the American.
"But we've got trains twice as big

stages of the "settling down" process. He begins planning a house
