We had many a narrow squeak
running at night without lights.
OF course the rule against
lights at night is absolute; you
are never allowed to have any
light on the ship at night; you
are not even allowed to smoke
because the lighted end of cigar
ct could be seen for many miles.
That is the strictest rule in the
fleet.
We were nearly rammed one
night as a consequence of this
rule. We had hurry call to go
out and pick up some survivors
from a torpedoed ship and along
with us went one OF those big
sea going tugs. We picked up
the disabled ship all right-she
was still afloat.
Just in Time.
We were maneuvering around
the spot when we saw white
wake of the kind that a periscope
makes through the water at night
coming right down on us on our
port side.
, The officer of the deck gave
orders for full speed astern and
swung the ship sharply JUST IN
TINE to miss the big tug which
went tearing right by US. II that
had hit us she would have gone
through us. We had lots of close
shaves like that.
One night we were with a con-
voy of American troop ships.
The fog was so thick you
couldn't see a thing, We were just
running on different changes OF
course--that is, at certain times
every ship changed at once to
keep even.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-05-31

But one of the transports
must have missed out on the
time of change of course. She
suddenly doomed right up
alongside of us rushing right
down on us. We Just man.
aged to slide through all
right by giving a hard rud-
der, so that she swung clean
around our bow.
When we first got over to the
other side the fellows used to be
kept on the jump all the time
with the porpoises. We used to
mistake them for torpedoes.
Leave Giistening Wake.
Porpoises at night leave q phos-
phorescent wake. You might be
standing watch and you would
suddenly see coming toward you
one of these porpoises and II
would look for all the world like
a torpedo.

and myself, when we saw one Of
them making straight for u.s.. We

US n funny sensation because you
are never quite sure whether it is

you tOngue-tied for the time be-

Club Links.
The final of the 1918 Barre Golf club
championship was brought to close on
Saturday afternoon, f. J. Walsh and H.
Brown having been left to play off in a
36-hole match play TO decide the winner.
The match was little one sided for
quite a while, as Walsh had comfort
able lead until he entered on his third
round. It was then that Brown pulled
off some good play and was able to carry
the match we'll into the fourth round, but
the lead was too much and the match
ended on the fifth green the last time
round, Walsh winning by FIVE up and
four to go.
Walsh has played wonderful golf all
season and during the championship he
has played some very low scores, having
won the low gross in the qualifying
round with a low score of go. Brown
did very well all through the tourna
ment.

Var speaking WORK consolidated.

Nelson B. Ballard, local manager of
four-minute men, has received the fol-

In the interest Of economy and efiicien-
ey, the division Of fourminute men Of
the committee on public information has
taken over the work of the speaking d.
vision of the same committee
Hitherto, the four minute men have
taken charge of all speaking to ready
made" audiences, in theatres, lodges
churches, etc, in all parts of the coun-
try; while the speaking division has pro-
yided special orators for war rallies aud
patriotic meetings called together main
~ to hear these orators.
In the course Of their work the four
minute men have built up very com.
plete organization, reaching into almost
every community in the United States,
Alaska, Porto Rico, Cuba and the Phil
ippine islands.
This organization is now available for

The consolidation effects material
saving in time, energy and money, since
