CARGO OF BELLS
 := 10LLEO AT SEA

"The next time take a cargo of To- comotives across,'' said the skipper of a British merchantmen in port in Phil adelphia recently, "the bells will all be silenced with wadding.
 "On our last trip over we left Phil adelphia with sixty locomotives all en cased in huge wooden boxes. intact and ready to be taken off the ship and placed immediately on the tracks to start dragging ammunition trains to the front. Labor's scarcer in France than it is here, and they've no time to fit locomotives together there. The Delaware was as smooth as a pond as we made our way down to the bay. but the first wavelets that struck us at the capes started something that made me want to take a header off the bridge. Every one of the To- comotive bells in the hold began to ring! And they all kept ringing all day and all night and all the way across the Atlantic.
 At first I thought of going back to dock to have the bells taken of. But that would have amounted virtually to unloading the whole cargo, because of the manner in which the locom otives were slowed It would have meant a weeks delay and I was supposed to get to sea as quickly as possible. So we put out that night with those sixty mad bells going hammer and tongs continuously.
 1 T thought we would all lose our senses. Sleep was out of the. question It was like ringing eight bells eighty times a minute'in sixty different keys. 1 You've seen Sir Henry Irving in that play called The Bells?" We'll, it was like that. only this was no play. but real life It seemed as one member of the crew who is by far too ina gina tive said. as if all the ghosts of all the murdered ships were clanking up at us out of the depths of the ocean, warning us of the U-boats that had | filtered the sea floors with their bones.
 We fell in with some nasty weath. ! CT as we neared the other side. The vessel rocked and tossed and every time she plunged a whole cataract of bells went tearing down toward per dition. We're in the U-boat zone.' remarked the man at the wheel to me one night. Good | cried, I hope a torpedo hits us soon Then perhaps I'll get some sleep
 'NThe destroyers that met us did'n know what to make of us. They thought we had all gone crazy drunk and were trying to tell the U-boats exactly where we were. But I told them I was cured of the fear of U- boats forever
