Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer.

WASHINGTON = The storm tossed
sailor who voiced his pity for the
poor people ashore, in the midst of
topping chimneys and flying debris,
knew what he was talking aoout,
according to the coast guard folk.
And the way the coast guardsmen
tell it, 1t does sound logical. When
anything on land is hit by a storm,
they point out it simply has to take
it, whereas a ship gets out of the
way.
A storm like the one which die SO
much damage in the southeastern
United States, they continue, is just
big whirl-so big that it appears
to be blowing straight ahead, but in
reality it whirls, though it's true
that it moves ahead at the same
time.
It's worst at the center The ex-
perienced mariner knows, from cne
takes mighty good care to steer IN
some other direction, even if it isn't
the one he'd prefer to take.
OF course, if a ship is disabled
and can't clear the track for a storms
vortex to pass, it's in a bad way
as bad as being on lane.
But, given staunch craft and
adequate searoom, and the guardsmen
are unit in declaring they'd far
rather be safely on the billows than
ashore in such hurricane as the
one which swept MiamY.
Tndaad the guard seem to think
that practically all the marine disas-
ters that happen are caused by navi-
gators who don't know their business
or who deliberately shave Storm
centers too closely. rather tnan lose
time by going around.
A householder ashore has no choice
but must make the best of whatever
comes along.
