morning was Frank N. Ferris. He had

age, the string broke, and there was
revealed to the gaze of several people

chagrined that he confessed to a false
modesty of donning the clothes in
town, and was taking them to New

before a not too critical public.

active service in the/war is concerned.
In unison with other members of his

of the fact that if he followed the com-
pany to the front it would be at a sacri-y'

cold’ charity of the world. Be it said
of him, however, that he was ready

a great practical obstacle this has been
to the effective conduct of the war, and
days, a necessity of careful and exact
co-operation between land and naval
forces which emphasizes the import-
ance of reliable means of communica-
tion between the war department an
the fleet. _ p _ p '
' Communication on the ocean -is one
of the practical difficulties attaChing
to the sea as a scene, of action which
landsmen seldom appreciate. The
elaborate system of signals, used in
rclear weather to convey information
from ship to ship, can be used. only in a
limited number of cases, and a swift
and sure. despatch-boat service is as
important to a modern commodore as
it was to Nelson a hundred years ago.
It is no wonder that the arrival of de-
spatches for tha admiral, as pictured
in the illustration reproduced to-day
from Harper’s Weekly, is an event of
the greatest interest to the sailors
of a fleet at sea. Instructions possibly
for instant and deadly battle may be
carried by the jaunty ensign, clamber-
ing up the side of the grim flag-Ship,
and the old tars keep their eyes open
for the flutter of the well-known signals,
meaning that the chance has come for
that glorous fight and victory for which
they are all looking.
