A Thrilling Experience.

; ♦ j Writing to a friend in Wiltshire on 20th J i August, a correspondent on one of H. M's j ships in the Mediterranean says : -" We j | are congratulating ourselves at not being i I at the bottom of the deep blue sea like the j Victoria, as only by the coolness of our i captain disaster was averted. At half-past j 1 five last evening we were at sea, fourteen j ! battleships together, and the evening j \ exercise was—Even number chips take j ! odd numbers in tow. As we were one of ( ' j the even numbers we proceeded to tike j our odd number in tow, and naturally the i ship that has to be towed ought to be un- i ! manageable and her engines stopped. In- [ ! stead of that we were going ahead to get j ! in front, when she swerved round and clo3- j i ed on us, her port anchor bed catching our ; forecast main deck casemeut, and her ram j grazed our bottom for some distance. Our i •' Old Toff,' who is the quietest of men gen- j erally, gave his orders a3 cool as a refrigera- j | tor, went full speed ahead, and turned and j got clear of her with very little damage, I except for a few projections on our side I being carried away, and the other ship's ] anchor bed being ripped open and hor awn ing stanchions; snapped off like carrots. I 1 feel confident in saying," concludes the writer, " that if our ' Old Toff' had stuck ! like other people and lost his head, one, op 1 both of us, would be at the bottom now.' 1
