deep pockets Of his fur coat. Out came
q small paper bag.
"Candy," he remarked. smiling,
"candy for the girl It's the only Christ
mas present / have for the family but
she's going TO get it,"
The candy was given Lieut.. Farrell at
the Christmas eve party at the Hud-
sons Bay Company post at Moose Fac
tory The factor was Santa Claus and
Farrell and Hinton and Kloor romped
with the Indian kids and the white kids
and had a glorious time.
''You know" said Lieut.. Farrell later,
pressing further explanation OF the
scrap and apparently anxious for every
one 10 believe he simply had let 80 OF
his nerves for an instant, you know
we have threshed out the whole matter
among US. And we have decided that
It Is TO be a closed book. So far as
/ am concerned j am sorry for what
took place yesterday. l temporarily lost
control of myself, simply because
was tired out through loss of sleep, and
with my impulsive nature l started in
to settle a grievance after the fashion
of the old navy days. But II Is all
over now, have no hard feelings. and
/ believe what is said by my old pal"
Here Farrell brought his hand down
upon Hinton's shoulder, and Hinton,
whose jaw still showed the effect of
B'arrelrs punch, seemed plainly pleased.
Not Meant for Public.
"I want TO say" broke in Hinton.
~that that letter which | wrote my wife
was never intended for publication. In
fact wrote upon 1t that 1t was not
TO be published, just as all of US had
agreed"
Lieut. Hinton told correspondents that
they could tell the world at large that
yesterdays encounter was merely an in
cident of the perilous trip-"just one of
many inc dents. and the least impor-
tant."
And to correspondents and trappers
and guides and railroad officials who
stood aronnd nodding in approval of the
despatch with which the affair had been
settled. the explanations sounded good.
These three navy men have suffered
from frost bitten fingers and tees and
ears, so why. argues every one--why
couldn't they suffer from frost bitten
tempers?
Sure" interrupted Lieut. Kloor.
Coming down the trail from Moose
Factory Steve and Walter razzed' me
sometimes. and I'll admit they got me
mad. But it was all over in a moment.
and once we got good fire going and
our toes thawed out, We were just like
brothers"
Some Of the guides to whom four days
OF wandering in the north country with
out food wouldn't be anything new. say
they cannot doubt that the nerves of
men unaccustomed to such hardships
would go to pieces.
To the Americans here the spectacle
of yesterday afternoon was a decided
shock. Their ideas of the discipline OF
the American navy were fixed and when
they heard Lieut.. Farrell growing
''liar" and "cur" and saw his fist lash
out at his brother officers face they
were amazed. Their humiliation over
the fact. that the trouble should have
been brought to a climax at moment
when the whole world was waiting for
news OF the airmen caused them to exert
every effort to bring about a reconcilia-
ton.
II became known to-day that every
thing about the trip from Rockaway
Naval Air Station to the shore OF James
Bay has not yet been made known.
Lieut.. Kloor let it be known this after
noon that he had prepared his official
report for Josephus Daniels, Secretary
OF the Navy. and that he and the others
were free to talk.
But he added that he had prepared a
10000 word article in which every detail
OF the runaway crafts voyage was set
down. He said he wrote by the light of
candles and that he couldn't discuss the
material in the article. He said he hoped
no one would think him selfish.
No changes have been made In the
tentative plans tn continue on from Coch-
rane late tonight 10 Toronto, where
they Will spend several hours. Then they
will continue the run to New York, ar
riying some time Friday morning.
