44 A Day of Siege !!

SIR,—Mr. Carter and readers of his article A Day of Siege will doubtless be interested to know that children of all ages still play in the sun at St. George's Bay, and in fact I can hear their shouts as I write this at my desk, a few yards away from the beach. The tattooist still plies his trade and the triple-tinted dragon still adorns his walls. But the rocks of the bay, as well as the one and many-storied buildings, are now

all of limestone.—Yours truly, LEO BARRINGTON.

St. Michael's College, St. George's Bay, Malta.
