him TO justify any sort of an emotional
outbreak. He and Mrs. Hoover remained
in their rooms most of the night, and
1t Is said they managed to get some
sleep, which is more than can be said
OF most OF the others on the Maryland.
Apparently Mrs. Hoover became wor-
ried only once during the storm, and
that was when a metal lifebuoy was
knocked overheard by a wave. It sent
up an automatic warming flare which
threw weird light over the angry
waves. Remembering that her son
Allan had gone on deck to sleep earlier
in the night, she inquired anxiously as
to his whereabouts and was relieved to
learn he was safe in his bunk, although
water from an improperly closed port
hole was washing about his room.
When the ship first ran into the
storm. all matches we're battened down
and all ports closed. Perhaps they were
not closed properly or maybe they just
leaked, but the fact remains that water
found its way into the compartments
and paSSageways below deck to such an
extent that bucket gangs we're bailing
water in various parts of the ship all
night OF course. there was no danger
to the great dreadnought at any time.
but she trembled and pitched and rolled
as she pounded steadily onward through
the giant waves and roaring gale.
Waves Wash Over Fo'c's'le.
Toward early morning the wind was
blowing its worst, the gusts at times
registering 70 miles an hour. The ocean
was frenzied maelstrom. Green wa
ter" was washing knee deep over the
fo'c'sle and quarterback and spray was
slapping so feet up across the bridge
where stood the Stalwart figure of the
skipper, his lips drawn tight.
Word came to the captain that one
of the SeaplaneS had broken its moor
ingS and was in danger of being blown
from the quarterback A couple of Off
GERS in storm togs mustered rescue
party of sailors and rushed on deck.
Bursting through compartment door
into the teeth of the gale, they scarcely
could stand erect under the avalanche
of waves. One sailor lost his balance
and was swept the full length of the
quarterback before he could regain his
feet.
Withdrawing temporarily one of the
officers reported to Capt. Kimberly that
the plane had broken one of its moor
ings and had shifted it's wings against
the aft turret, damaging a stabilizer.
The movie projection house also had
broken loose, it was stated, and was
lodged against a hatchway in peril

deck equipment had been lost or
wrecked, including the golf course.

captain did it, He ordered the ship
stopped and had her swung around so
that there was lee to port, where the
plane was tied This time the crew
succeeded in shifting the plane back to
approximately its original position. and
then they tied it down as securely as
possible under the circumstances. The
movie house also was rescued.
Engines Held Down.
The engines were started again, but
held down to maximum speed OF six
knots, and the ship moved forward once
more into the diminishing winds. Dawn

of the ships speed had enabled her to
ride more easily through the rough
seas, and after breakfast-Served to only
half full houSe-all who had not suf-
fered i'll effects of the storm braved the
sporadic splashes of spray to view the
casualties visible on deck
A goodly number of the party ex-
perienced a loss of appetite for some
time after the blow had passed. MIR.
and Mrs. Hoover are veteran mariners,
however. and they suffered no i'll effects
whatever Both really seemed to enjoy
the experience of riding out gale in a
battleship, and they we're among the
first to climb to the bridge the morning
after the storm to watch the still boil
ing seas dash over the nose of the ship
and go cascading across the deck.

safe and comfortable passage to the
PreSident-elect and his party. To this

The ship, indeed. was doing its ut
most to entertain it's passengers. One
of its outstanding offerings in the way
OF entertainment was nightly motion

mess boys, big canvas screen was

Mrs. Hoover often sat through the
whole performance.

The stars still shone brightly overhead,
but stiff gusts of chilly wind were
cutting through the rigging.
All on deck piled out unceremonious-

hatchways. Meanwhile. the whole ship
seemed to be awake and on the Jump.

BY REX COLLIER.
Favored by perfect skies and smooth
seas, the members of the good will party
had revcled in three days of rare
yachting" aboard the Nays strangely
transformed dreadnaught.
The first port of CALL Amapala, Hon
duras, yet was some 400 miles
away. During those three days the
Maryland had skirted nearly the entire
length of Mexico's rocky western coast
and was approaching the Gulf of Tehu-
antepec, that indentation in Mexicos
lower jaw where the Pacific Ocean
pushes within $50 miles of the Gulf of
Mexico.
Pleasant days they had been for
every member of the party.
Days of relaxation in comfortable
steamer chairs perusing Spanish die
tlonarles, books on Latin America or
novels from the ships diversified library
collection; of watching with fascination
the busy activities of the 1900 men
comprising the population of a man-o'-
war, of marveling at the gorgeous tints
Of Pacific sunrise or sunset or the en-
chanting silvery pathway splattered
across restless seas by tropical moon
White Attire Donned.
From Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover down the
party had changed from the drab
clothes demanded by chilly Fall back
home to the white attire appropriate
to cruise in southern waters. The
President-elect presented salty appear
ance in his natty c. P O'S cap, dark
blue coat and white trousers and shoes.
Mrs. Hoover and Miss FeSler were
charming in summary frocks of white
or light pastel shades. The others had
arrayed themselves in variety of in
formal outfits. with gay sweaters and
white ducks predominating.
Life on a battleship was not at all
boresome, thanks to the courteous fore
sight of Uncle Sans Navy Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoover had found much to interest
them about the big ship. and when they
tired of inspecting engine rooms, or
crews quarters, or bridge there were
pastimes such as reading, walking for
exercise, or, for Mrs. Hoover, knitting
to help pass the hours away. Both
found considerable amusement also in
watching the deck sports participated
in by other members of the mission.
Their son Allan was prominent in all
the. games, which ranged from quoits
and Switchboard to deck tennis-played
with hand-tossed circlets of rope in lieu
of rackets and balls-and golf, played
in hilarious fashion on a putting green
improvised by sailors from planks and
canvas, with tin can for cup.

to learn that the ships officers regarded
the blow as lust strong breeze" even
though 1t was admitted the breeze had
registered as much as 20 miles an hour
at times. 1t is said that some of the
dispatches were read by the skipper be-
fore they were sent. and one corre-
spondent complained that portions of
his copy were blue-penciled.
MIR. Hoover himself seemed to think
the storm hardly worth descriptive

Fans who like their boxing in gen

tonight at the Imperial Valley Ath.

will be dished up to them in three
bouts OF 10 rounds each.
The club directors consider this

fans will welcome the novelty of
long fights.
Heading the procession is the
main event between Bobby Pacho,
one of the slickest scrappers who
ever drew on glove in Imperial

who had seven main events in Mad

has met three worlds champions

against a stiff proposition, but fans
who have seen him do his stuff
against other highly touted boxers
are predicting that he will be on
his feet and fighting when the final
gong is sounded.
1t is big chance for Pacho and
if he can get by Lynch, he is just
about made as a main eventer in
