As the father found she was very determined, he let her havo hor way. She fostered the child and took great care of him till he was quite grows up. The worry that she experienced in preserving the bay from sickness, cald, hunger, and such bardships must not be forgotten. She was afterwards actually married to him, but she was then too old to give birth to children. She therefore procured for her husband a second wife, who afterwards gave birth to govoral

The daring experiment of firing shol! at a man of war with all her crew on board, even though disposed in places of safety, to ascertain the resisting power and consequently the value of turrets in naval warfare, took place at Brost on the 18th ult. and attracted great interest, The ships engaged in the experiment were the Sufren, considered to be the finest type of battleship in the French navy, ad the Masséna, the former being the target at which the guns of the latter were directed. The Saffron was moored olose to the Ilo Longue in the roadstead of Brest; and the Masséna took up her position
No wonder that the memory of such a 150 mètres farther off. Three torpedo-boats prevented the approach of vessels while the charactor was ever fresh in the minds of the firing was in progress, this precaution being people of the M-county. taken with the twofold purpose of avoiding accidents and preventing the disclosure of the exact character and effects of the fre. The target, composed of a centimètree thick, and covered with canvas, was erected on the external walls of the fore turret of the Suffren, and it was towards this mark that the projectiles of the Masséna'e gam were directed... A. Best triul shot was fired from the Masséna at half-past nine in the morning, the Minister, who was on board, having given the order. The shell, which was fired-by a 305 millimètre guu, kif the target and then buried itself in the rocky promontory of the island, raising 4 cloud of dust. Half an hour later the actual experiment began. The shell barst against the walls of the turret. The splinters falling into the harbour mised columns of water which inundated the stern gallery where the Minister, the Commander-in-Chief of the north- orn squadron, the admiral of the port, and other officers were watching the experiment. The second shell was discharged at 10.55, and the third at a quarter past eleven. M. Fellatan then proceeded to the fore tarrot of the ship to examine the affects caused by the fire. The fourth and final shot was delivered at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The shell was broken into a thousand fragments against the target, and it AUTOMATIC MAUSER is said that a large splinter ricochetted and destroyed the gangway of the Masséna. After the experiment the turret with the targo; affizəd was covered with sail-cloth in order that the effects of the fire should not be seen by persous provided with marine glasses. The authorities declined to give any information of a technical nature, but it is believed that the turret satis.
