Odyssey of a
l. atter=Day Ulysses

And now, after his son has crown 10
sturdy youth, begins the real Odyssey of
TINS latterday Ulysses At Pompeu he
comes across a strangely beautiful creature
called Freya. lie yields at once to the
mystery that surrounds this woman, even
10 the point Of forgetting wife and son.
Freya is confirmed man-hater, jealous Of
her freedom. Her name, she tells UlAes,
means land and liberty. Can it be because
Che knows he is oil the sea and intends to
enslave him? True, she bogs him to leave
her and at times seems to love him with
genuine feeling, seeking to remove him
from an evil spell that She casts around
her As often as they separate some strange
influence seems to bring them again to-
gether Suddenly, one day AT the Naples
aquarium, Frcya overwhelms her lover with
Wild kiss. Is this surrender or strategy?
And WHO is the strange woman?
1t soon becomes evident that Freya is the
Gree Of the story. But cur Ulises far from
stuillng his ears with wax to deaden the
song of the siren, pursues the beautiful
mystery even TO the detriment Of his bust
ness. Through Frcya he meets an elderly
female doctor who seems to be travelling In
Italy. lie meets, too, a gentleman who
seems to be shrouded in the same mystery
that envelopes Freya. Try as our hero will,
he can learn little of definite character
about the woman he loves so madly.
From this point forward the story moves
more rapidly. Without quite realizing what
he is doing Ulises, after discovering that
Freya is German on her fathers side. and
alter at last having vanquished her resist
ance to his pleas, engages upon her sugges-
ton to furnish oil to German submarines.
Upon his return to Naples from his trip he
discovers that Freya has disappeared Mean
while there has been uneasiness at the
seaman's home because of his protracted alb
sence, and Esteban, his only son, has come
from Barcelona to Naples for his father
Not finding Ulises (who was at that time
on his mission to the submarines Esteban
leaves for home.
Esteban meets his death while sailing for
Barcelona on the Californian which is sent
to the bottom by German torpedo. This
the father learns from the survivor of the
torpedoed ship, which is succored by the
very vessel on which Ulises is sailing home.
Now comes the great change in the mind of
the protagonist. He has sold oil to the very,
submarines which have ruthlesslv sent his
son to the bottom of the sea, The fathers

almost make up for the decidedly melodra-

portrayal in its secondary personages thar
in the primary. The opening chapters upon
the life of the Madariaga offspring in South
America are mastery. But, laudable as are
the sentiments of the novel and the cause
in which it was written, the personages
clearly become more less successful
mouthpieces, arguing out the war in much
the way as Dr. Ruiz argues the case
on tauromachy. There are passages in the
work worthy of Hugo; the same may be
said Of the MARE Nostrum" that followed
it; but as a novel it is not in any way the
equal Of such simple tale as "The Cabin"
or such powerful tragedy as Reeds and
Mud"

ulises Ferragut, the hero, grows up as a
youngster of vivid Imagination. This is
further developed by his poetic godfather
His mother would have him follow re-
ligious career; his father desires him to
become a legal light. Ulises, however, has
his own ideas upon the subject In his
veins flows love of the sea, and his pater-
nal uncle (himself so great sea lover that
he has been nicknamed Triton by Ulises's
poetic godfather, Laberta) aids and abets
him in this passion.
Ulses has another uncle who loves the
sea, but this second uncle is no Triton.
Where Triton loves the sea for it's poetry,
with passion that endows it with all the
creatures and associations of mythology,
the other uncle loves it because he makes
money from it. The child readily succumbs
to the spell of the Mediterranean and as
soon as he is able intrusts his life to it,
first sailing in fragile vessels and later as
a captain of better craft. He is married to
Cinta, has a child, Esteban, and inherits
money from both uncles. Triton most ap-
propriately, dies in the sea he loves.
