They didn't even know whether the

world had probably given them up for

weeks where or how to come to their
aid.
Mai Fit2maurice. of course, speaks
the same language as / do. and one of
the first things he told me was how
unexpected our dropping out of the air
was. He said they thought 1t possible a
ship might break through or dog teams

After looking her over. we figured
that If We could once get the necessary
parts We could repair her So as 10 con-

There was long argument about
who should leave the plane. We settled
on the fact that one of the three must
come out with me ard arrange for re-
pairs. and 50 forth. But they all want
cd to stay with the ship. We weren't
getting anywhere by argument.
Lets flip for it?" I said finally. and
they agreed,

mortified By the defeat by Harvard
and Pennsyivania at Philadelphia
saturday, the Naval Academy crew
still sees 4 hope OF redeeming the
season by better showing at

The PougIkeepsie regatta IS the
only event which lies before the
Naval Academy varsity unless its
showing on the Hudson warrants
an effort In the Olympic elinina.
tons.
A rally after defeat Is by no
means unusual for Naval
Academy crew. It Is recalled
that the Navy lost TO Syracuse
in 1920. but in the same season
defeated that crew twice and.
later, won at the Olympics.
The folloS ing year, a fine Naval
crew was defeated by Princeton, but
redeemed its season by winning a
splendid victory at PcughkeeDsie.
HarVard's victory Saturday was
the first over a naval crew since
1915, while Pennsylvania had not
won from the midshipmen since
1916.
encouragement is found be naval
people in the fact that the time OF
the Navy junior varsity was little
better than that OF Harvard, the
winner of the main event.
