How Cool lmpudenee Of Young sritish
Naval Officers Relieved Ten
sion Of Situation.

In "Facing the Hindenburg Line"
by Burris A. Jenkins, may be found q
number Of incidents In which naval
men prove their coolness and heroism.
Nobody knows all the stories of cool
ness and heroism among the naval
men, says the author. We shall not
learn them till the war is over, but
here is one that perhaps the censors
will allow to 60 by. 1t was told by a
medical officer who was aboard the
Franconia when she was sunk acting
as transport.
1--WE had five or six naval officers
aboard. They were sitting in the
smoking ro0m-remember the smoking
lounge In the old Franconia? It was
very long, as long as this dining room
and twice as broad. They had just
ordered whisky sodas. Suddenly there
was an explosion and the steel floor
Of the smoking room just buckled up
and burst apart in the middle of the
ship. One Of those officers called the
steward and said:
ask you to witness, steward, that
we have paid for these whisky sodas
and have not had time to drink them
"Then the rascals went below, got
on their lifebelts, came back again,
asked the steward for a big sheet Of
foolscap. wrote out a long. we, the
undersigned setting forth that they
had ordered six whisky sodas, for
which they had paid nine shillings.
with sixpence tip. and had not been
allowed to drink them. Thereupon they
entered a claim against the British
government for the nine shillings and
sixpence, with accrued interest from
date. Then they walked in a body up
to the bridge and handed 1t to the skip
per. The old man told me afterward
he never was SO grateful to anybody
as to these cool young devils for the
steadying and bucking up influence of
their impudence."
