"On the pier a man was arrested who declared excitedly that he was

"The khaki-clad boys were as merry as a party of undergraduates

celebrating some joyous event at the college tuck-shop."--_Yorkshire

"The Lyman M. Law was stopped by a gunshot fired by a submarine, which

boarded the American boat, took the names of all on board, and then

authorised the continuation of the voyage."--_Evening News_.
