an extraordinarily interesting account of Lord Montagu A special correspondent of the Times sent to Wednesday's paper an extraordinarily interesting account of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu's experiences after the sinking of the ' Persia.' It was a miraculous piece of good luck that brought rescue from a ship which happened to sight the waterlogged and drifting boat on the broad Mediterranean. Lord Montagu had already given up hope, and we read with admiration his reflections a to how he could die in such a way as should seem proper and dignified to the few Lascars in the boat who had survived thei.. sufferings. This was the spirit of the man in Sir Alfred Lyalf..4 "Religion in Extremis," who refused to save his life by recanting a faith for which he really cared little because recantation id answer to the Indian's ultimatum was unbecoming in a sahib. The same spirit brought Lord Montagu through, to the delight of his friends.
