them out most any time during the
20 years she was sailing as help
mate and chief mate with Captain
Nelson Croker, her husband.
For once when they were coming
back from a little 12,000-mile expe-
dition down to Africa there were 20
days when Captain Nelson Crocker
was delirious with fever. And dur
ing all that time Jennie Crocker
navigated the ship, gave the courses.
took the sightings and doctored her
husband. At night time she re-
lieved the black man who was fan
ming him.
And once when they were COM
ing back from Portugal a gale from
the Azores drove them about help
lessly for 50 hours. Jennie Croker
stayed down in the cabin that time
but it was because her husband
boarded her up and made her stay
there.
Yes, Jennie Crocker could have
taken out her papers most any time
and when she finally did take the
examination the other day, an eX-
animation lasting a day and three:
quarters. grizzled veterans from the
customs house came over and beg
ged to shake her by the hand.
Her First Command
Now Captain Jennie Croker is
getting ready to command her first
expedition. It's a little jaunt down
and around to st. Joe, Fla, after
lumber. Nelson Crocker's going
along as chief mate.
But whether either of them goes
along as captain or as chief mate,
neither of them is going to leave the
sea any more.
Maybe the sea has brought un-
happiness to some, to us it has
brought only happiness" says Cap
tain Jennie. NELSON and l loved
it when we were little children five
years old. We've loved it the 20
years we've been sailing together.
The sea lifts you above petty
things and it makes you believe in
God. 1t teaches you teamwork and
sacrifice and dependence on one an
other. Those are the things that
make good sailors and those are
the things that make happy mar
riages."

to break the law, namely by pur-
chasing antiques from the peasants.
Tut Relics in Demand
At present the first demand of
every foreign tourist is for a relic
relating to Tutenkhamun. The de-
nland so, far exceeds the supply that
even the forgers are unable to keep
up with 1t.
For a genuine Tutenkhamun
scarab as much as 100 pounds has
been realized by one Luxor dealer,
while a small, blue porcelain ring is
priced at 25 pounds.
These antiques probably come from
Tel l-Amarna, the site Of the city es-
tablished by Tut-Ankh-Amen's pred
ecessor, Hen-Aton, the hereto,
where the early years of Tut-Ankh-
Amen's reign were spent, as the
strict supervision exercised by the
eXCaVators at Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomt
in the Valley of Kings excludes the
possibility of pilfering.
Some beautiful Amen

local "antika" manufacturer, who
lives in a picturesque house within
the confines of the Valley Of Kings,
and whose skill is such that his
scarabs are represented to have been
accepted repeatedly as genuine even
by experts, and to have realized high
prices.

And that's doubtless why the cab
in of the Jennie Crocker" looks so
much like home. It's the only home
that C~Qtain Nelson Croker and
Captain Jennie Crocker know.
Once they tried fixing up a little
home in Cliftondale, Mass. 1t was
