It was the navy department inten- tions to provision us with the fleets’ Christmas dinner and to meet them in Gibraltar with the big feed, Christmas 1908, on their return from their famous trip around the world. We were almost loaded to our full capacity: when we received an order from the navy department to sail for Messina, Sicily Italy, and to make all d possible, as Messina had been ed by a tremendous earthquake ‘ and tidal wave. We took a deck! load of lumber aboard, which almost ; loaded us down to the ship’s rail and sailed to far off Italy. After 17 days at sea, owing to the Celtic’s slow speed, we were forced to call at the Rock of Gibraltar for coal. After coaling we sailed for Naples, Italy. Arriving under the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius three days later, we docked in the pretty harbor of Naples. Here; we transferred some of our stores to speedier Italian ships so they could hasten the food to the stricken Sici- lians. We followed some two days later, and made the trip from Naples to Messina in four days. In going thru the straits of Messi- na, the tidal wave had changed the, channel so much that we were forced aground four times but managed to wet off each time. After entering | ssina Straits we passed Callabro, icily, which lay off our port hand and about ten miles below Messina. Altho we did not get ashore in Cal- labro, we could plainly see from the ship the awful fate that had befallen this once pretty city. It looked as though it had been bombarded by heavy artillery for days, as the whole city seemed as though it had_col- lapsed in one big heap. Most of the houses were built of heavy stone or! dobe, with heavy oval roofs. All this had collapsed on the sleeping population without the least warn-) ing, killing better than two thirds of the sleeping people. As we pulled into the docks at Messina, we saw a sight that is hard | to describe, one that would touch | the hardest heart. Old and young held out their arms and cried with | joy for they had long been expecting | us with food. They had fruit to eat and this was almost their entire bill | of fare. They threw oranges and | limes to us and in return we threw | them bread, which hurridly disap- | peared down their starving throats. | On the first afternoon, we were| allowed to go ashore on visiting par- | ties. We were shown over the ruins by the Italian soldiers and sailors. | It had been some 25 days then since the awful quake. Most of the Ital- ians who had escaped death had fled ,famous old catacombs, some of them three and four storie and centuries old. We were conducted thru these by | monks who have charge of them; we | wer2 not allowed to touch anything | and were watched continually by | these old hermits. Some of the fel-/ lows tried in vain to get away with) souvenirs but the wise old monks | were too watchful. While ashore in | Syracuse, we met Mr. Gordon Ben- | net, the American millionaire, _ his | ‘s underground, jmagnificent yacht having arrived | one day later than the Celtic. As| soon as he learned that there was a} liberty party ashore off the Celtic | he immediately hired all the cabbies ! he could get a hold of and gave us; all a free ride over the city and out- lying country. Afterward he treated | us all to a big wine supper.

Mr. Foreman, whois a postman in Allentown; Pa., says “The shoes with Nedlin Soles gave me continuous serv- ice for 934 months, during which time 1 averaged 18 miles a day. Ordinary soles last me about one month.” 1 If you are hard on shoes, follow Mr. Foreman’s example and buy them with Nedlin Soles. These soles are created by Science to be especially tough and durable. Therefore, Nedlin-soled shoes wear a long time, and so cut your shoe bills down. Good shoe stores carry them in many styles for men, women, and children. And have your old shoes re-bottomed with Nedlin Soles. Remember—they are comfortable and eatereoot, also.
