A Little Adventure Cruise

HE glorious days of adventure on the Spanish Main associated with Drake and other famous Elizabethan sea dogs are no more. That life on the high seas in that quarter of the globe is still not without excitement is shown by the following letter.

Richmond, Virginia.

"I've just been on a little adventure cruise on the filthiest mongrel of a boat that ever sailed the seren SCAN. The Panaminian flag, not at all indicative of our breed, trailed from our stern, and half the Bations were dubiously represented amidships, as we lunged about the waters of the moody Caribbean. "Chin (of the Officers' Mess) and I (of the Engineers Mess) had frequent altercations be cause of a mysterious mix-up in the china of his galley and mine. Somehow a few used cups of the Officers' china were always found in my sink, and in the Officers pantry the sink was usually dirty mixture of Engineers and Officers' china. After straightening out this cup mixture for the twelfth time, Chin and I declared a truce until such time as we should have discovered the secret use to which they jointly and nightly put our laboriously scrubbed cups. One evening's careful watch told us the story,

"Just behind the battles in the Mate's cabinet was a large tin of Ovaltine,' and as he brought it out both Engineers and Officers hurried to their respec tive galleys, and came back loaded with purloined cups and spoons and hot water. The Chief Engineer brought out with great pride half a can of tinned milk somehow stolen from under my very nose at breakfast, and the lot of them grouped about the centre table and began acting like small boys with stolen cider. And they were enjoying it just that It didn't take long the next morning to much. find where the Mate kept that cabinet key. "Later we found that least half the sailors kept a great tin of 'Ovaltine' in their forecastles, and still later discovered four tins of it in the bunks of the black gang. And in their nightly gambling the highest stakes they could lay were their coveted tins of 'Ovaltine.
