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 has, in innumerable instances, given aid to ships in distress ships of all nations."

helped. A phrase that occurs very frequently is: "I shall be grateful to the British Navy all my life."

One man wrote: "I was truly proud of the quiet ef- ficiency, and still more of the kindly spirit, with which the task of evacuating us WAN carried out.. I could only marvel at the unfailing kind- ness and consideration of.cach and every sailor to all the re- fugees, especially to the old, the feeble, and the children. It was simply wonderful,"

An old Irish Indy, rescued from a dangerous situation, and given the captain's enbin in a destroyer, wrote: "Mny God and, Our Lady bless and protect the British Navy for evermore." Another

grateful person wrote that the sailors them- selves had not been ashore for weeks and were themselves short of food; but went shorter still so that the re- scued could be fed.

Another wrote: "We shall bless the British Navy, which again has proved its right to be called in Ambassador of Peace."

Throughout its long history, the Royal Navy of Britain has been a safeguard for those in distress or affiction.

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 all the vigour and courage of a fighting rice.

To-day the British Navy is in battle or on the watch on all the seas 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 safety of the sens.
