TRAVELS IN PHILADELPHIA
BY Christopher Morley

IN the Montreal and Boston services, and
on such greyhounds as the Cdmpdnid and
Lucanid, the Lu8itaniG and Mduretdnia.
On the last he was staff captain before the
war. A naval reservist, when the war broke
out he was put to immediate and grueling
work, first in the landing of troops on Ger
man Southwest Africa (Swakopmund) then
in the terrible year of the Dardanelles trag-
edy. lie was commander of the forward
turret on the Albion, one of the two ships
sent in within 1000 yards of the Turkish
forts at Seddul Bahr and Kun Kale, with
orders to stay there until either the forts or
the ships themselves were put out of action.
Captain Brown drew out of his desk drawer
a fat notebook in Which he kept private
log Of his war experiences. He read us some
of his notes, jotted down with the terse
compression of the naval officer. l hope
some day he will find time to put those days
into a book. 1t was terrible picture that
lay behind the blunt brief words. Never
was human heroism more fearfully exhibited
than in the tragic effort of the British and
Colonial troops to force a landing on those
sandy cliffs. Out of boatload of 250 men
sometimes only ten would gain footing on
the shore, struggling through the .barbed
wire, with shells and concealed mines burst
ing among them. Captain Brown told of
boatlead of killed and wounded men that
drifted back to the Albion, swimming in
blood up to the thwarts, the dead men
floating in this blood. He used two words
to describe it. Bloody murder. For seven
months he slept beside his twelve inch guns
in the Albions turret.
T ATER, Captain Brown was commander
- of the Prince Edpdrd, and then was in
command of the anti submarine defense in
the eastern Mediterranean. AS he talks,
with his quick, cheerful accent, his bright
gray seaman's eye, it is hard to realize what
this friendly, bronzed little man has been
through. One gains an inkling of the quiet
discipline of the sea that trains a man to -.
take what comes Garry on" the favorite
catchword of the Briton in wartime, is the
phrase that occurs most often in his talk.
That's the only explanation these. men have
for it. Thsy shrug their shoulders and say
they "carried on" ..
CAPTAIN BROWN is very pleased to be
" the pioneer skipper of the new Cunard
service to Philadelphia. This is his second
visit to the port The first was last July,
when he arrived in the midst of st. Swithin's
debauch, and got the impression that Phila-
delphia was very rainy place. "You have
a fine port here" he says. "It's right in
the heart of industrial America" He has
visited Hog Island, and is very enthusiastic
oyer the plans to deepen the Delaware chan
mel to thirty five feet at low water. His
own ship, by the way, built in Dundee, is
the English equivalent of the Hog Island
fabricated ship. She's an 5000 ton cargo
carrier, more graceful in design than the
Hog Island vessels, but with coal burning
reciprocating engines instead of-the oil fuel
turbines of our own wartime feet. He told

1t would appear that all a runaway
bank clerk has to do to eude the police is to
wear crimson bloomers and drive a plum
colored motorcar. The theory is that the
color blinds the slcuths. 1t was the tactical
error of trying to get rid of the car that
brought about Stanrg's arrest
