The most severe trial on the voyarA
came when the ship reached longitude
20. when the storm assumed the pro.
portions of a hurricane. Waves swept
over the decks and the storm became
so violent that IL was found necessary
to pour oil on the troubled waters.
While the storm was raging passen-

The area OF low barometer was also
hanging over the mental zone OF Max
Jablonski. a second cabin passenger.
He had read the stories OF the pursuit
OF thieves over the seas and became
obsessed with the idea thu; he was
mistaken for n thief by his fellow
passengers. The weight pressed heavily
upon his mind and a doctor was called
fos him when friends reported the
trouble. The doctor order the man to
the hospital with his trunk. From the
trunk Jablonski took u pocket knife
and drew II across his throat.
