The beauty OF procrastination and

sort OF a subtitle to one comic episode

warning was sent to the staterooms.
One man, half-awakened, laughed at
what he thought a false alarm, and
turned v for another nap. An in
slant later occurred the explosion,
which hurled him into the air upon
his mattress. which came down right
side up upon the water. The disaster
occurred near shore, the mattress was
eventually hooked In, and the passen-
ger was rescued unhurt. This tale
NAV be believed only by those who
have escaped marvelously the dangers
of a tornado. but it is absolutely true.
