My young FRIEND" ] said to mvself
you are in an awkward position, but, re-
member, you have been in awkward posi-
tjons before, when there were no such com
pcnsatlng advantages. Let us consider
these advantages and grow cheerful. You
are privileged to render your country such
service as few single Germans have been
able to render her--if this plan succeeds.
III 1T falls, your sacrifice will not be un-
known or unappreciated. Whatever hap
pens, you will have climbed rung or two
up the ladder of duty, and perhaps of
fame"
This eloquence pleased my young friend
SO much that he lit another cigarette.
"Consider again." l resumed, "what an
opportunity you have been unexpectedly
presented with for exhibiting your re-
sourcefulness and your coolness and YOUR
nerve. If it had not been for that wave
Oh salt water your task would have been
almost too simple. Your own share of
the enterprise would merely have consist
ed IN couple of easy rides on a motor
cycle, and perhaps the giving of a few
suggestions or the making of a few OBJ
Jections which would probably have been
brushed aside as worthless. NoaU you have
really something to test you!"
This oration produced less eXhilarat-
ing effect. In fact it set me to wonder
ing very gravely how l could best Justify
this implied tribute to my powers Of sur
