A few days afterward my face a authed a blotched purple appearance, the chin was a mass of soft scaly scabs, and on the chin watery yellow spoter appeared on and were constantly discharging a yellow matter. At certain times it would dry up followed by the most intense itching. After D time it would break out agaha worse than ever, the discharge from the chin being like palding hot water,

There are still Hearts of Oak behind the steel walls of to-day, and the spirit that inspires our seamen still shines bright and clear and stimulated with the determination to triumph.
Naturally the expanse of water requir ed for the anchorage of so many vessels must be of ample proportions, and whe ther long and narrow, lined by back grounds of undulating hills, or broad and spacious, with a setting of wooded heights, the lines of anchored ships, as straight as if they had been ruled, stretched away in either direct on in during my stay was that of the "shroud finite succession.

Since July 29th, 1914, when the Fleet vanished silently from the Channel, until quite recently, it has been buat seldom that the vell which then fell upon its movements has been even partially drawn aside. Even today, owing to its never asing activity and vigilance, the exact whereabouts of the Fleet remain un known. Unseen and unheard, it con tinues to exert its influence upon the course of the was, and to fulfil its tradi tional role of the bulwark of the Empira Bare as the occasions have been when the veil has been raised, these have revealed to the country how well prepared were seamen to assert their sapremacy when an opportunity offered. The scoop- ing process in the Heligoland Bight and the battle off the Dogger Bank revealed alike the dauntless courage and technical thoroughness of officers and men, and showed the ships in that state of instant readiness for war which is the essential condition of an efficient Navy.
