Miracle in the Mediterranean.

In an article on the submarine war
fare in the Mediterranean contributed
to the November Century, Herman
Whitaker tells of a lad on one of the
American destroyers who had been
washed overheard in a black night
storm and was thought to be hope
lessly lost till a voice hailed the watch
from under the stern. He had caught
the logline, which trails for a couple
of hundred feet behind, and hauled
himself along 1t. Another escape was
still more marvellous. Washed over
board at night from one of the de-
stroyers, this particular lad was
treaved by a wave upon the deck Of
another vessel half a mile astern.
When he was restored to his W ship
at the end Of the voyage, his captain
thus addressed him: young man,
you have used up all the luck YOU
will have in all your life. The navy
Is no safe place for you. Take my ad-
vice; get out Of it as soon as Uncle
Sam will let you"

of large tents, enc serving as a sale

TO COME TO THEM
Few of Our ~" Boat Chaser skippero
Had Had Previous Nautical
Experience.

"Where do the officers of the sub
marine chasers come from?" I asked
an executive officer long in the navy,
writes Samuel G. Blythe in the Satur-
day Evening Post.
"Everywhere." he said.
"Were they %sailors?"
"Not many of them ; some had had
experience in motor boats and yachts
and were amateur navigators, but the
way they have picked it up is marvel
Gus. Let me give you an illustration.
When l vas organizing the first flotilla
that came over I questioned the young
chaps who came before me as officers
for the chasers. OF the first five on
one day m had been a shoe salesman,
another an accountant, another a nut
inspector and another an actor"
"Nut INSPECTOR" I said. "What's
that"
"He worked on q pecan ranch down
south somewhere"
"They had had some sailing expert
ence and had taken short special
courses at a training school. Now Of
that bunch three are in command of
chasers today, four brought their ships
across and the actor is a unit comman-
der, and a mighty good one. too. That's
where we got them. The navy just
reached out and collected them here,
there and everywhere, and they are
good stuff and making sailors Of them
selves mighty fast"
