“OUR CHANNEL.”

Have you heard this story told by a naval man who came ashore after a lively time? • Out in the Channel some German seamen were captured. They were standing in a group by the rail beside some British seamen, when a Briton suddenly hit one German and felled him. The British skipper held an inquiry. The skipper pointed out the offence of hitting a prisoner and then asked the culprit why he did it. The seaman touched his forelock and said: “Sir,; he tells us the Navy’s no good. He tells us the R.A.F. is no good. He tells us the Army is no good. Then he says our Channel is no good and he spits in it. Wot would you have done, sir?” » * ; * .
