Brice, sur- feon of the White Star liner Germanic, holds the record for ocean voyaging. and although the Germanic has made her last westward trip to this port, the Gatermined old seq dog 1s looking for- ward to further services, dreading above all ill luck the possibility of being retired. At the lowest estimate Surgeon Brice's record of water travel fe 2,500,000 miles; 100 times around the world. ’ - Surgeon Brice has a fund of sea ex- perlences, which began over fifty years 0. “I always loved the sea," sald he, as he sat in the smoking-room of the Ger- manic. “When I was a young man practising Im the north of England the love of the mea got the better of me. and being in 4) health I looked to ocean voyaging for @ cure The Sea His Care. “I'm a strong man now.

He was return: ing home with bis daughter, and it wa: v7 of the death of her father, “Rufus Choate, that distinguished American ancestor of illustrious Ameri- cans, was under my care. It was at my advice we landed at Halifax, where he could be properly cared for on shore. Savors Burial at Sea, “1 can't understand the feeling people have against burial at sea,” said the old surgeon, ‘For me that is the only burial I desire, A weight at my feet; then overboard into the sea, down among the fishes—that is good enough for me.

Once he stayed on shore for two years, and the ex- perience nearly killed him, he says. While the love of the sea js dominant in the surgeon, he has had his share of dangerous experiences that would make some men loathe it. “I'M never forget the time the Ger- ¢ sank in dock during a terrible) rd and was under water twelve days. If she hadn't have been the good boat she ts tt would have been all over with a lot of us.” 4 Faced Great Storms. Surgeon Brice was out in the mule when Capt. Williams went down with! py, the Atlantic, and in the great storm when Capt. Grace died after fifty-nine hours’ exposure on the bridge. “The Germanic passed the America just as Capt. Grace died, That was a a terrible tithe!" ‘Ini a spell of bitter weather when Cept, Cameron stood for forty-eight hours on the bridgé of the Majestic and had his eye frozen, the surgeon was kept busy working with the sailors who Muffered from exposure. “The kreatest danger I was ever in,” sald the surgeon, “ was during a series of catastrophe that befell. the Alla Une.

There was poor old Dick, the sips big Newfoundland dog, who had to be left behind. ‘I put him in the finest state room and gave him a ble plate of bis- cult and a bowl of water,’ the cap- tain sald, “so I hope old Dick went down with the ship like a gentleman and didn't suffer.” Even Sailors Change. “I never like to see a dumb animal sink with @ ship," said the surgeon, “and besides Dick I once saw a little terrier on board the Montego go down. The sailora tried to save her, but #he was too busy chasing rats that had been forced on deck."
