By J. W.
Copyright or
Land' 8 End, the Lizard, the Nee
dles, Portsmouth, Calais, Dunkirk,
the North sea and the Orkneys all
the places thdt figure today in the
submarine and other naval news of
the two huge watching sea powers,
figure thrillingly in the last and
greatest scene of Charles Kingsley's
famous sea story, "Westward Ho!"
When Don Guzman Maria Magdale
na Sotomayor de Soto won and carried
away from Devon, Rose Salterne, whom
all the yonng blades called the Rose of
Torrldge, Amyas Leigh of BIdeford
swore a great oath. He swore that he
would kill the Spanish grandee, though
he hunted him around the earth's globe
and though a thousand times a thou
sand salt tides should pass before he
found him. , .
, He sailed his tall ship Rose to the
Spanish Main and failed to meet his
foe. But he left the ship's bones there
with those of his brother, and he re
turned home knowing that Rose was
dead In Venezuela. It made his hatred
all the more black, seeing that there
was little left to him except that
hatred. , .,
He prayed often thereafter an aw
ful prayer. It was that Don Guzman
might not die before they met.
A wild joy was his when one day
Sir Richard Grenville stormed into his
house and brought news that a great
Armada of Spain was sailing toward
the coast of England to break the
Island kingdom forever.
He sailed out of BIdeford into the
Bristol channel and around Land's
End up the English channel to Plym
outh, where were gathered ships of
Francis Drake, John Hawkins, Fro
bisher, Raleigh and a dozen more of
Queen Elizabeth's Spain-hating gentlemen-adventurers.
None hated Spain
more than did the crew of Amyas
Leigh's ship, the Vengeance. ';,,
They waited till the Armada was
spied sweeping up Channel past the
Lizard in formation half-moon-wise
and full seven miles from wing to
wing.
Then they put out.
They banged and ran away and
banged and fled again, their little ships
hanging to the Spaniard's high sea--casties
as -hsiiaTmlnghlppets "Sight
hang to a herd of Andalusian bulls.
They shuffled the huge fleet past
Plymouth and down the coast to Ports
mouth. From the Needles poured Eng
lish ship after ship to Join the fight
that shook the white chalk cliffs. Past
Brighton cliffs, Beachy head, Hastings
and Dungeness It roared with clouds
of sulphur smoke and vast painted silk
banners shining high above. '
The Vengeance was in the press of
it. Amyas Leigh was at the helm, and
by his side fierce old Salvation Yeo,
who had been with John Oxenham at
Panama" and had only one wish in all
the world to pay back the Spaniards
for hanging that beloved captain.
Through smoke and hangings and
battles, now of single ships, now of
confused squadrons, these two steered
the Vengeance ever again toward one
Spanish ship, a great galleon whose
banners flaunted the bright coat-of-arms
of De Soto. And Don Guzman
was not remiss. Shining in silvery
mail, his brave figure stood on the
poop, beckoning to Amyas Leigh with
a hungry sword.
The sea-fight drove down on Calais,
and toward yellow Dunkirk sands, and
of '& sudden northward and out into
the North sea. Then the English fleet
knew that the great Armada was run
ning. Past Yarmouth and the mouth
of the Humber and Flamborough head
they drove the fleeing ships. The Scot
tish coast came in sight. My Lord
Thomas Howard hung to them and
drove theitt beyond the tempting shel
ter of the Firth of Forth.
Once past there, it was all over. The
avalanche that was to overwhelm
England had melted helplessly and
pitiably away.
One by one the English ships
dropped off, to pillage prizes or carry
them into port At last only one ship
remained in chase. It was the Ven
geance, and the ship she chased was
the galleon' Santa Catherine shot
torn, gale-battered, her gold tarnished
and her bright silken banners ragged,
but unbeaten still and commanded still
by the undaunted Don Guzmap.
They raced around Scotland and the
Orkneys. Then the Vengeance forced
him south again, down between the
Hebrides and Scotland and past the
Isle of Skye, whose wild Inhabitants
howled with glee. Into the Irish sea
they raced, and southward past Holy
head into Cardigan bay. Four times
they fought, and stllPDon Guzman
evaded a grapple. So on the sixteenth'
day of the chase the two came around
St. David's heud and into the opening
of Amyas Leigh's own Bristol channel.
They turned eastward toward
,horae, the home whence the Spaniard
had taken the -Rose of Torrldge.
Amyas Leigh exulted that his revenge
should be so finely staged. But one on
j board said : "Eastward Ho never
' brought us luck I" and at that moment
a tearing squall broke from a long,
i black cloud.

yelled Amyas, and then : "Hurrah !"
. There was the Santa Catherine, fly

. "Range alongside, though it blow

Amyas. ' '
, Salvation Yeo leaped to the helm.
"Port I For the love of God, port your
helm 1"
Amyas and Yeo leaned to the helm
like yoked steers. The Vengeance ca
reened, but she swung around. Within
two hundred yards was the Spaniard,
and in frorit of him loomed a huge,
dark mass that was not rain or cloud.
,. "Lundy !" screamed Yeo. "The Isle
of Lundy! Hard aport, and may the
Lord have mercy on us ! Look at the
Spaniard!"
Between them and the wall of gran
ite the galleon loomed dimly, struggled
to obey her helm, fell away, and
rushed to her doom.
? "Lost ! Lost !" cried Amyas Leigh,
madly. He hurled his sword far into
the sea. "Shame! To lose my right,
my right ! When It was in my very
grasp ! Unmerciful !"
A crack rent the sky. There was a
world of bright flame against which
stood out every mast and sail, the
sinking galleon and Salvation Yeo,
bright and fearful, the tiller In' his
hand. Then Salvation Yeo dropped
dead on deck and utter darkness fell
a black, black night that never lifted

ONLY NOBLES AND PEASANTS
Russia a Country Where There Is No
Middle Class, as in the Rest
of Europe.
Contrary to the. laws existing in Eng
land and Sweden, in Russia when a
lady belonging to a titled family mar
ries a Russian gentleman without a
title she takes her husband's name en
tirely, and the only right left to her of
her former title is to write on her
visiting cards and official papers, "Mrs
So-and-So, born Princess, Countess or
Baroness So-and-So." Her children are
called by their father's name. There
are only a few exceptions to this rule,
according to London Tit-Bits. .
In Russia no middle class or gentry
are known. There are only nobles and
peasants. The czar, however, grants
sometimes for special merit the right
to be styled a nobleman, and also for
the same reason the titles of count and
baron, and occasionally that of prince.
All those merchants who have kept
firms flourishing for a hundred years
have the right to receive the title of
baron. This law was made by Peter
the Great over 200 years ago, but the
merchants very seldom accept this Ger
man title and generally decline the
privilege.
In former days when the peasants
were still slaves they had no family
names, but were called by their fath
er's Christian name. Peter's son was
called son of Peter In Russian Petrov.
So also Smirnov Simon's son ; Ivanov
r-Ivan's (John) son ; and so on. When
slavery was abolished and the eman
cipation proclaimed by the Emperor
Alexander H, they all kept these
names. Since then many of them
have received the right to belong to
the class of nobles.
The Russian Clergy, belonging to the
class of peasants, for it very seldom
happens that nobles become priests,
have special, family names. Their
names mean always a feast day, or a
precious stone, or something connected
with the church. In former days the
clergy was a class opart, and a son of
a clergyman vras bound to be a clergy
man, and when they first entered the
rhurch they chose a name for them
