How the idea Of a new book was

Locke in 1.-THE Rough Road"
"One evening a couple of months
after I had finished The Red Planet
i was tearing my hair and saying
that this time / really had come to
the end of things and would never
again have the ghost of an idea for
another book, when my wife, who was
sitting on the divan in the drawing
room playing unconcernedly with our
little Pekinese-she had heard this cry
of wolf so many times before-ad-
dressed this little beast-I love him
dearly, by the way-in the maudlin
tone of which we both are guilty
sWhy doesn't he write a nice book
about you, darling?' Whereupon
clapped my hand to my forehead and
cried: i will I'll write a story about
a man brought up like that dog and
pitched into the war! And / went
straight into my study and set to work
on the scheme"

Washington.-An unusual story OF
daring and remarkable escape from
death during the VIZ was brought to
light when naval officers made public
an account of the adventures of the
crew of the navy dirigible BIZ, which
was given up for lost by the depart
ment in July. 1918, after 1t had drifted
around at sea for more than two days,
during which the crew had practically
nothing to eat and ran short Of drink
ing water. The dirigible finally was
forced to descend and the crew was
rescued by the Swedish ship Skagern.
The BIZ, with Ensign w. B. Grit
fin as commanding officer, Ensign w.
c. Briscoe as assistant pilot and ma
chinist's Mate e. A. Upton as me-
chanic, was ordered to leave Chatham,
Mass, early July 10 on a patroling
expedition.
German submarines were then oper-
ating off the Atlantic coast and the dir
igible was well loaded with bombs.
Scanty food supplies were carried, as
Ensign Griffin expected to return to
Chatham that night. The radio equip
ment had only been partly installed.
Rudder Brace Lost.
The BIZ patroled to the north and
sighted a transport about $3.50 p. m.
Ensign Griffin headed toward the YES
sci, intending to escort it toward port,
when the heel brace on the rudder was
carried away, making it impossible to
steer the craft.
A sea anchor was rugged up and an
effort made to retard the dirigible's
progress. After a few moments, how
ever, the towing cable parted and the
northward progress was resumed at
an increased speed.
About $50 o'clock that night a ship
was sighted and nine rockets were fir
ed from a pistol. The vessel apparent
ly saw the signals and directed its
course toward the BIZ only to turn a
way in a few moments and leave the
helpless gas bag to the mercy of the
wind.
About that time the pipe line leading
to the emergency oil tank broke ant

ed.
Wild Dash Northward.
ALI night the diriglble continued it's
wild dash northward, the crew e
time consuming the small amount of
food aboard, Ensign Griffin had no
idea of his whereabouts.
On the morning of the third day of
the involuntary cruise the sun shone
brightly and as the gas in the bag ex.
panded rapidly the BIZ started to rise.
Ensign Griffin. after a conference
with the other members Of the crew,
decided to bring the BIZ to the sur
face and take a chance of being pick
ed up.
Shortly after descending a ship was
sighted and 1t directed its course to-
ward the dirigible. the crew Of
which meanwhile were having great
difficulty in keeping clear Of the
water. The vessel proved to be the
Swedish steamer Skagcrn, bound for
Halifax. A small boat was put over
the side and the crew Of the Bio taxi
en- off. Then, as the increasing heat
from the sun caused the gas further
to expand, the dirigible rose a few feet
above the surface, was pulled over to
the Skagern, the rip cord pulled, and
the Bio salyaged without much dam
age, more than 300 miles from Its home
station.

saint, cut from natural granite rock
on a hillside in the Island Of Ushiga-
