ordered to sea like ourselves The Century,
plying between Melbourne and Ocean Island
was to leeward of us, firing rockets every min
ute or SO and exercising her signal gun She
seemed to be making heavy weather of it.
The pilot steamer Ajax out of Newcastle,
went to the Century's assistance and got a
line aboard after some trouble. She came
through all right after an all-night scramble.
l understand there were mighty sick folks
aboard her when she finally made port Other
ships that had close calls were the Armagh
and Port Nicholson. The Macunlba, out of
Newcastle for Sydney, went by US blowing her
fires out of the tunnels under forced draught
She made port safely, too.
Ours was the worst plight of all because
OF short boiler capacity. On top of that had
five hundred tons Of coal piled on deck when
the storm broke, having been compelled to
clean out the port bunkers because of fire.
Fire in your bunkers with benzine slowed all
around isn't what you'd call a comfortable
combination. Well, didn't have to worry long
over that coal deck, because every time we
shipped green one, and we were shipping
most of the South Pacific about thai time, be-
tween twenty-five and fifty tons went over the
lee rail or out the scuppers. By daylight our
main deck was swept clean.
Zone important thing that helped pull the
West Wind through was good crew. Every
aboard stood by sailor fashion and the
black gang below kept steam OIL her, standing
their heads good share of the time, I
guess. There's lot in being sure of your
backing in situation like that. The wireless
is fine thing to have, toe, but it adds to the
responsibilities of the man on the bridge. For
instance, here are a few messages"
Pausing, Captain Abbott dug a sheaf Of
papers out of his dispatch box and handed over
a batch of wireless messages picked up at the
height Of the storm
"Abbott, West Wind-Are you standing by
ship firing rockets? Answer forthwith re-
guest Rear Admiral Australian navy
"PARKES."
"Parkes is agent of the U. S. & A. Line in
Sydney. He was busy with the wireless that
night. Here's another:
"'Abbott, West Wind: Radio at hand Con-

A cats instinct and a sailors bunch are the
same thing. he declares, only the cat can 20

another ship, while seaman has to consider
pay losses and other trifes like that which
don't bother cats, and so he sticks to crafA
he'd like to leave, against his better Judgment
Sinbad left the Canastota because warned bv
instinct of the ships impending fate and went
ashore at Sydney to await homeward bound
vessel--so the black gang of the West Wind
has it.
One hundred and fifty miles off the 'Nob-
bies" at Newcastle, the Mobiles" being
headlands, Captain Abbott ran into bad
weather, beginning with intermittent squalls
from the southeast, increasing to gale as
the harbor was neared and at last assuming
cyclonic violence. The West Wind being
in light trim was on her beam ends half the
time.
There was a seventy-mile gale blowing
when we arrived off Newcastle, the afternoon
of July "a narrated the West Winds big
bronzed skipper. II had wireless orders to
keep off, so we went about just before dark
and tried to beat out to sea, but that's where

power to make headway against such blow
AuS WeSC w WlHu was LurDlne BOAT during

engines, SO the best to be had out of her in
fair weather was matter of six knots

pound of steam we could raise, but our screw

clubs instead of the queen. This led his part
ner, who a careful player, to place the
queen with z, because if the third hand has to
put up the king to get the trick it should
be because he could not get it any more
cheaply. 1t is like paying a dollar for what
you might get for so cents.
II one had partner, or was playing the
dummy, it would not make any difference which
card was played, is as good as the
other, so far winning the trick goes. But
with a partner who watches the fall of the
cards and draws differences from them it may
make great deal of difference. In this case,
when z led the ace and then small diamond
and won with the king he saw at once that if
he led another club and had the queen all the
diamonds would make, and A would have to
throw away great many good clubs to pro-
tect hearts and spades.
This being his view Of the situation, 1t is
clear that the only chance to save the game is
that holds the ace of spades and can kill the
king, so A leads the spade queen and loses
the game. At the other tables, the bid and
opening being the same, played the queen Of
clubs third hand.
Of course, 2 may have held both ace and
king, and in such cases the declarer usually
false-cards any way, but in this case has
not denied the king, as he denied the queen in
the play already given, so led another club
after winning the diamond and made four
club tricks, saving the game.

In THEIR attempts to make the rules of
the game simpler, for the benefit of those
who we're just taking it up, the old whist
players were in the habit of resorting to
snort and easily remembered maxims, which

they applied

AUCTION BRIDGE

Question-Dealer bids no-trump, second and
third hands pass. The fourth hand bids two
clubs and the dealer two no-trumps. What
should second hand do now, holding six dia-
monds to the king jack, ace queen small in
hearts, king ten small in spades and single
ton small CUBA. M. G.
Answer-The decision seems to be between
setting the no-trump pretty decisvely by
doubling and trying for game in diamonds. If

that redoubled and that did not say

stand? If not what happens?-S. v.P
Answer-Even If z did not hear the re-
double he must have known that the bidding
was not concluded until not only 2 himself

liable for a lead during the bidding and must
leave the card as exposed, his partner being

the Dolores district by the railroad
soliciting committee, and reports
indicate that good response is
being received by the solicitors.
The major portion of land solicit
ing has been completed in the
Mancos district, where approxim-
ately 10000 acres of land have
been contracted by the land owners
of that section for the purpose of
securing the construction and
operation of the southern railroad
outlet. San Juan county New
Mexico. and the country east of
Durango is also being intensively
canvassed, while Durango business
men are subscribing fund Of not
less than $4,000 in cash to pay
the expenses incident to the
land campaign. New vigor is
coming into the project since the
important visit of the members of
the Los Angeles Syndicate to the
basin, and the prospects are now
exceedingly bright that the required
amount of land will be subscribed.
The Dolores district, as we'll as
all the country northwest, must
now earnestly enter into this great
opportunity with the remainder of
the San Juan basin, and do her
share toward settling for all time
the transportation problem of this
great empire. The proposition it.
self is now fully understood by our
citizens. 1t has the endorsement
of all the leading men of the entire
basin, 1t is the one great oppor-
tunity that has come to us during
the past twenty-five years.
We are not asked to give any
thing. We are only asked to in
vest portion of our lands in the
stock of railroad which we, the
people of the basin, absolutely
control. 1t will be new railroad
properly equipped, entering the
richest railroad tonnage district in
the United States. Such rail-
road beyond any doubt will paw
returns upon the investment;
therefore stock in this railroad
should be just as valuable as the
lands for which it is exchanged.
The important thing for the peo-
pie OF the entire Montezuma valley
to do. is to put in every acre of
land possible, thereby making the
investment Of the syndicate in the
lands of the Montezuma country
so large that they will build rail-
roads to every portion Of the west.
ern part of the basin. 1t is a lopi.
cal conclusion to state that if the
syndicate owns a million dollars
worth of land in this part of the
basin, that they must and will pro.
vide it with proper transportation,
because when they do that, it is
worth three times what it is TODAY
aud we get the same proportion
per acre profit that they receive.
This railroad project is just now
the most important thing for us to-
consider. We must have it. We
can get it if we will join with all !
other basin citizens. put our
shoulders to the wheel, and deter
mine to put it across. Help the
solicitors with their work. Make
up your mind today to contract a
