Miracles Made Safe.

As you know, Mussolini is fond of boating and fishing. News of his latest Mediterranean expedition with his son Vittorio, is just to hand from "Salient's" special marine correspondent.

At the end of the day 11 Duce was seen to stand up in the boat and survey the horizon.

"Are there any of our warships about, Vittorin?" he asked.

"No father, none." A pause.

"Are there any submarines?"

"No father, none."

"Are there any bombers?"

"No father, Why do you ask?"

"Well son, if there aren't any warships, or any submarines, or any bombers, I guess I'll walk upon the waters."
