Q king, monarch of all you survey.
You no longer have routine to fol-
low. 1t is constant anxiety until you
know that you have men who are
competent to handle the tasks assigned
to them. Even then you feel more
secure by constant supervision.
One of the first things I did after
took command of the Zuiderdijak was
to post in the chartroom in conspicu-
Gus places, Safety flrst-take no
chances" and Eternal vigilance is the
price of safety" This bit of advice was
printed In large letters so that every
man entering the chartroom could not
help but have the warning impressed
upon him.
Freighter Torpedoed.
On my first voyage bound for France
we were not far of the French coast
when freighter travelling in a convoy
just 200 yards away was torpedoed. It
was just after sunset, and must admit
that it was the worst scare I had ever
had in my life.
A general alarm was sounded on our
ship to let every one know that we
were being attacked. There was con-
Sternation. 1t seemed that the entire
crew beat it for the life boats. The
boats were all rugged up ready to lower
with full equipment. My first thought
was to order full speed ahead and the
engine room responded with full speed
and little more The next thought
was the men. ! grabbed megaphone

lower the boats" I then dashed to the
starboard, giving the same order.
Some of the men, as I glanced at
them quickly, seemed astounded, but
no boat could be lowered with the
vessel at full speed. 1t was safer for
us to be moving and zigZagging than
it would have been taking chances to
slow down and make the ship target
for our attackers. Later the ships met
at a rendezvous and we were safely
escorted to port.
We had no guns aboard the Zuider-
dijak. so decided to rig up dummy
to look like big gun to incoming sub
marines so that they would not take
us by shell fire, as would rather take

CHAPTER X.

My first experience as captain of my
own ship was aboard the Zuiderdijak,
during the war This was a freighter
which transported munitions, foodstuffs
and railroad equipment. She had about
$50 men in the crew.
Going out aboard the ship in COM
mand for the first time is in itself a
thrilling experience. You are impressed
with the responsibility. the safety of
the ship, her care, and the men are nat
urally In your hands. An error in judg-
ment might lose all. and every one is
dependent upon you. You are sort Of

Political Paradox

bU Hiith EItSS
WASHINGTON, April 4,-The
fact that Wisconsin has voted near
ly 2 to l against state prohibition
five months after it gave a 5 to q
majority against Governor Alfred E.
Smith, the wet in the last preSi
dental campaign, was the subject
OF comment here today among po-
liticaI leaders.
While Senator William Borah OF
Idaho and other supporters Of Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover pointed to the
political paradox as an insignificant
exception to the general dry atti-
tude manifest in the last election
campaign, supporters Of Governor
Smith asserted the Wisconsin re-
suits showed prohibition was not an
issue in the last campaign.
Drys generally insist little sig
nificance should be attached to the
Wisconsin referendum because the
state has been accepted as a wet
state.
