As far back as the year 858 Captain Filmer, who was the son of an old Kentish family, started life as a junior officer, on the British screw line of battleship Orfan of 3281. tops, frigate Orlando, he was on board when that war vessel received scaled orders from the British Government to proceed to sea during the Trent trouble, which nearly precipitated a war be tween Great Britain and the United States.

The Orlando was a full-rigged screw frigate of 3700 tons and fifty guns, big for a war ship of her day, and formidably armed. When the appointed rendezvous for breaking the seal on the orders was reached young Filmer, with his heart in his mouth, learned to his great satis- faction that under the seal were orders for pro- ceeding at once to Halifax and to be prepared to fight along with the Southerners. A glance at bistory during the early sixties will discloseNOS and the reason why Filmer on the Orlando was never called upon to gird on his sword and fight, but for sonde time he was at the Bermudas JAMES CRAIK,
