ARCTIC "GHOST

TRAIN”

Explorer Tells Of Strange Noise

TALK TO CHILDREN

A atrange and terrifying Arctic phenomenon was described by Mr. Augustine Courtauld, the explorer, last month, when he addressed about 200, children at the Royal Empire Bociety Hall, Northumber- land-avenue, W.C.

He thrilled his audience with the story of his adventures during the five winter months which he spent alone on the Greenland Ice- cap in 1930-31 when on in survey- ing expedition,

He stayed on the ice-cap to make observations of the weather and temperature conditions. From Dec. 5 till March 21 all went well, but then his hut was overwhelmed by snow. He remained imprisoned in the darkness until rescued on May 5 by an expedition which, cost about £20.000

NAVAL CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS

Guest Should Salute The Quarter Deck

When a guest wishes to call on the wardroom officers of one of his Majesty's ships he should make it a forenoon one, arrive Ing on board about 11.30 o'clock, for the Navy lunches at noon. As he comes over the gangway he salutes the quarter-deck and the officer of the watch." Should he speak to him he would be correct to add "Sir," for this officer, is the captain's representa- tive. He is now on board, but in a ship.

As he goes to the wardroom' be passes down a ladder, never "down stairs." He will, of course, have uncovered his head; only officers of the ship are allowed to enter their own ward- room with their caps on. Ti simply is not done to enter the wardroom of any other ship wearing a cap. The guest will be asked to "have something to drink" (usually a gin and blf- lers), and, after some time, "the other half."

This will be repeated as long as he is strong-headed enough to accept or until he is strong-willed enough to refuse. It is part of the traditional naval hospitality, He may smoke in the wardroom or in his host's cabin, but not between decks, and he aliould never come up on deck amoking a pipe or cigarette..

If he wishes to see the ship he asks to see "round" the ship, not "over" her; and to accomplish this he goes "up top" on deck from "down below" in the ward-

If the Royal Marine guard parades an the occasion of "colours" in the morning and marches along the quarter-deck he should stand to attention as it passes him.

Mr. Courtauld said that while he was on the ice-cap he became increasingly aware that some other Power was sharing his solitude.

"I did not feel alone, and felt that this Power, whom one may call God, would see me through," he sald. He felt this especially on the two occasions when heard the mysterious noise.
