On the lower deck the sick bay is located fu a fine alry and spacious cabin, and the doctor's shop opporlie was stocked as completely as any up-town drug store The older "doctor" wa found to be a very entertaining gentleman. He presides over the cafsine of the ship and has splendid galley at his command. In one long range he cooks for all hands from the Admiral down, and a whiff from the two great copper cauldrons where the shop was bailing was biga. ly appetising.

The Bounding Billow deals in a playful manner with happenings on board, and-the inevitable poet is enabled through its columns to get rid of his little tanities.
