miles off Signals We're sent up re-
peatedly and every effort was made
to attract attention of the vessel, but
it passed on.
Our plane was able to pick up
messages from the steamer, which
failed to divulge its name, but drifted
to the northwest. Then came the
period of added suspense. After that

Bad Weather One Day.

Comdr. Rodgers. I'VE experienced
bad weather for just one day at sea-
That was the third day after we were
forced down. Rain and heavy seas
made matters uncomfortable
The men told how Comdr. Rodgers
shared his .rations with them and re-

day out. At the end of that day all
were without rations, which original
ly consisted of IS sandwiches to each
man. three plnts of coffee, three pints
of soup, "a Jumps of sugar, six
oranges and four canteens of water.
This was intended for the 26-hour trip

1t requires so rehearsals for this
novel orchestra to perfect itself in a
number, but Herr Abendroth says
there are many musicians in Rus
sia who accept this burden without
grumbling. In his opinion this orches-
ira without a conductor affords an ex-
cellent schooling for musicians in
technics and accuracy, and that the
brilliance of the Moscow State Opera
is probably due in large measure to
training of many of the orchestra
