a rigid blockade of and Merciful Aid those countries. It keeps open and de- fends the sea-roads by which supplies reach Britain. And it alone makes possible com- munication "between Latin America and the British Isles.
In this war, the Royal Navy has once again proved the tre- mendous weight of a British sea-power in battle and in economic
war.
But the Royal Navy has a wider field of. activity, and one that affects the peace and progress of all lands.
Every day, aboard the ships of the Bri- tish Navy, the chap- lain reads a prayer written in the seven- teenth century.
*
That prayer describes the Navy as: "A safe- guard a security for such as pass on the seas on their lawful occasions."
This the Royal Navy is indeed. Its work for the security of the seas never ceases. Gunboats and sloops are always in the. Red Sea and Persian Gulf to prevent traffic in slaves, and the running of arms Little and ammunition. white gunboats far inland up the rivers in China have frequently been call- ed upon to protect lives and property, to rescue and succour the victims of floods, and to assist relief work during epidemics.
An incident that oc- curred some years ago in China comes to my mind." Seamen and marines had to be landed at an up-river port, and for hours an armed guard of steel-hel- meted men stood shoulder to shoulder facing a frenzied mob that shriek- ed at them and bombarded them with missiles.
If a single man had lost his temper and struck out there would have been a
*
ghastly outbreak of vio- lence. The situation was saved by the steadiness and good humour of the men. They were wonder- ful. They smiled at the mob. They even shared their rations with the children..
The Navy has a long record of relief work in hurricanes, earthquakes, and other disas- ters. It has frequently pro- tected civilians during revolu- tions and riots. It hus, in innumerable instances, given aid to ships in distress ships of all nations.
Before the war, the cruisers "Exeter" and "Ajax", which afterwards became famous in "the battle of the River Plate, took an active part in relief work after an earthquake in Chile. They transported many refugees, and carried in their aircraft the vaccines neces- sary to save life.
Every year, normally, one of His Majesty's ships visits the lonely island of Tristan da Cunha, in the South Atlantic, to land stores and supplies for the inhabitants. This visit is oke of the island's few links with the outer world.
con-
During the Civil War in Spain, British men-of-war, large and small, were verted into floating hostels for hundreds of refugees. Of- ficers, including Commanders, gave, up their cabins to wo- men and children. Decks were screened off to provide living quarters. Meals were served in relays with seamen acting as cooks and waiters.
Bluejackets nursed the bu- bies of tired mothers, enter- tained the older children on improvised swings and merry- go-rounds, and gave them sweets and chocolates from the canteen.
An officer in a destroyer showed his inventive genius by
manufacturing babies' feeding bottles out of soda- water bottles. This ship missed, by a matter of min- utes, having her complement increased by one. The baby was born naliore.
In some ships, officers and men camped out as best, they could for weeks at a time to provide the refugees with shelter. This meant discom- fort, to any the least of it, particularly in the destroyers,

where space is very cramped. But the sailors didn't care. It was their job. The Navy, proud to do what it could, and adaptable as ever, entered thoroughly into the spirit of the thing, and seems some- how to have enjoyed itself.

Another wrote: "We shall bless the British Navy, which again has proved its right to be called an Ambassador of Peace,"
Throughout its long history, The Royal Navy of Britain has been a safeguard for those in distress or ufliction.
It is clear proof of the power and adaptability of the British Navy that it can turn from these tasks of peace to the stern duties of a great. war, and perform them with ull the vigour and courage of a fighting race,
To-day the British Navy is in battle or on the watch on all the sons of the world. It, is a vital element in Britain's plan for victory. But it should be remembered that, when there is no war job to be done, the Royal Navy is still busy, every day, in the interests of humanity and the safely of the seas.
