Drill, ‘gelpllno and tradition counted. i iere were no heroics, fuss or panic ut considerable humor and much efficiency.

It was Anzao Day and the officers ‘Were planning to hold a memorial ser- (vice. The commanding officer was 4 ‘deflhs with a remanded case. ‘“And what have you beén doing?’ he asked, jvhen then came a duil crash, a_sound ‘that seemed as he said, “to lift the #kin off your face,” 'and the ship be- §8n to taks a list. The “alarm” was. instantly sounded by the bugles, in- stantly followed by the ‘“advance.” ‘Without confusion of any kind the men in four minutes, fell in at their ‘boat stations. During thesvoyage they had told the stories of the “Southland” and the “Birkenhead” of the Behavior ‘of the troops and men “on these occasions.

The turn of the navy came now. The men knew instinctively that the navy would turn up. It turned up. yers and trawlers appeared like magic. There was a moderate sea, and the ship having béen struck near the propeller began settling' down by the stern, While waiting tor the boats to be lowered some of the men sang, som settied down to play cards, snd nvost of them smoked. The nurses re- | mained with the medical staff until all the patients had beea provided for, and the whole medical staff remained with the patients untll they ' were safely placed-in boats.

And it was all done decently and in order. The bandmnster who was wont to call upon his band to fall in by means of a certain call on his cornet had saved that instrument and when the men were in the boats they heard from a destroyer the old famillar cor- net sing out ,and across the water came a great noise of laughter from all the boats because the little joke had struck home. The men had lost their ship, were miles from anywhere, in open boats, but they could see the humor of it. It wasn’t exactly courage, because heaps of men were in a funk; and it| wasn’t exactly bluff, because you can’t put up & bluff in a sinking ship, and the sea looks awfully big when one can't se¢ any land, and there’s just a handful of officérs running the job and enough boats, and & fearful ignor- ance of maritime geography. It is a thing which is very difficult to define. It was the voice of the Empire speak ing to each man and saying: “We do the thing well, and we always have, 00, $3.00.

"Thére has been ‘some talk lately of the nationalization of British ship- Pping. If such a policy were seriously to be entertained there would be grave danger Jf our losing our pre- mier position in the shipping world and I trust therefor, the government will realise the desirability, in the national interest, of reverting, as soon as circumstances permit,- to in- dividual endeavor and freedom from " /{ government interposition except where RACKLIFFE BROS.
