CHAPTER VIII.
The seaman is ever ready to lend a
hand to his fellow workers in distress
Race, color or creed are never taken
into consideration. When vessel flrst
reports trouble, all ships in the vicinity
communicate to determine which one
is closest and which can be of the most
assistance. That vessel then proceeds
under full steam to the aid OF the
stricken ship.
During my life at sea there have been
O number of occasions when l have
been instrumental in giving assistance
to others who encountered some I'M
fortunate situations. I was aboard the
cruiser Washington, as chief quarter
master, when we were towing torpedo
boats on test cruise from San Diego
to the Hawaiian Islands and then TO
the Samoan Islands and back again..
While running into some heavy
weather out in the Pacific. destroyer
got adrift, the line having snapped.
The Washington was maneuvering as
closely as possible to the helpless de-
stroyer. We got around to her after
shooting several skyrockets with a fish,
ing line attached. The tow line was
then pulled aboard and we proceeded.
Tow Disabled Sub.
A similar instance occurred when I
was chief uuartermaster of the Tona-
pah. and we went to the assistance of
a disabled submarine off Hatteras. We
used q long line with barrel on the
end of it. The idea of this was to
have the barrel float from the subnla-
rine toward the ship so that we could
pick it up and get hold of the line, but
-&%
plan.
I then got a big piece of pipe, about
4 feet long, and had it inserted in
rocket carrying lone line. After de-
termining the approximate and correct
angle, we sent the rocket out on its
way carrying the line, the end OF which
was fastened to our ship. A rocket al
ways floats to leeward. The fourth rock
ct landed on the destroyer and the
heavy hawser was pulled aboard. Once
fastened, the Tonopah started for Nor
folk with the submarine In tow.
Man Shouting for Help.
One night while aboard the Mime
apolis. which was bound from Phila-
delphia to Havana in 1906 to particle
pate in the pacification of Cuba, the
lookout reported that he heard man
shouting help. We We're on the coast
Of Georgia. Word was sent to the
bridge and the captain Immediately
stopped the ship. Searchlights played
on the water and finally one Of the
rays spied the man aloft on small
raft waving his hand frantically.
A life boat was lowered and in a
short time the unfortunate victim was
taken aboard in an unconscious state.
We later learned that he had been on
the raft three days. He was suffering
from exposure to salt water, hunger
and thirst. He was in our ships hos
pital for one month before he was
physically fit once again to leave. He
proved to be the sole survivor OF a
schooner that had been laundering IN
a storm.
Just after the war, when I was
aboard the President Grant with Capt.
Rind, I had my first experience. to
go out in a life boat at sea. A freighter

KANGAROO COURT
FIGURES IN HEARING
Defense Witness in Johnston
Trial Charges Threats to In
fIuence Former Testimony.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, March s.
A story of purported threats and ques-
tioning by what was termed a kan
CARGO" court was elected by the defense
counsel of Henry S. Johnston, suspend
ed governor, in his impeachment trial
here yesterday from T. N. Crosthwaite,
Ardmore cobbler.
Crosthwaite Is the father of r. D.
Crosthwaite, who, as q fugitive from
the State penitentiary, to which he had
been committed for numbering an Okla
homa City school teacher, was granted
pardon by Gov. Johnston. This par
don forms the basis of / of 10 articles
Of impeachment preferred against the
suspended governor.
The cobbler related on the stand that
James Nance, State Representative,
had tried to prevail upon him with
threats of Imprisonment to change testi-
mony which CroSthwaite had given be-
fore the investigating committee of the
House of Representatives. The witness
said another attempt was made by men
he did not know to make him for
swear his testimony before Edwin Dab
ney, attorney general.
Makes Specific Charge.
After he had been suhpoenaed to ap~
pear before the Investigating committee
the elderly cobbler said he was hailed
at his hotel before group of men who
represented themselves to be the investi-
eating committee. He said he thought
they really were kangaroo court"
They questioned him in great detail as
to the pardon case, Crosthwaite said.
Crosthwaite testified, as he previously
had done before the committee, that he
did not pay Thomas II. Champion, for
mer district judge of Ardmore, or any
members Of Champions law firm for
procuring the pardon from the gov
ernor, although he had obtained 81 400
from relatives to use in an effort to OBJ
tain the clemency.
Attacks the Prosecution.
The defense also launched an attack
upon the contention of the prosecution
that Gov. Johnston granted a leave of
absence to Clyde Collins, while Collins
awaited in jail at Hugo commitment to
the penitentiary following conviction of
statutory crime involving a 16-year-
old girl, to gain votes for Dave Stovall
in the primary campaign. Several per-
sons who had petitioned the governor
for the clemency denied on the witness
stand that the governor had announced
in signing the clemency act that he did
SO as favor to Stovall. Stovall Is a
State Representative and one Of the
governors political adherents.
Stovall himself, appearing as Wit
ness Tor the defense, denied the charge.

 THE HOUSE PARTY

An English house party is ln- variably composed of types as though each host or hostess wish cd to impress upon their friends how cosmopolitan their acquain- tances are: an army officer on leave from India, naval man, a retired business man, a more or less well known author, an heir apparent to some title. As for the women, be sure there will be Lady So and So the widow of the Bish- op. Miss Blackstone Maddock of the flat -heeled. sporting variety, the poorer relative who is being giver a chance to marry money, the wife of a business man. the fiancee oi the author who is in musical com edy and motors down from Londor on Sundays.
 The crowd of guests Ralph Hen derson had assembled was no ex. ception to this rule, and when Bar bara and Ray arrived and were ushered into the drawing room, she felt. in her own words, weak al the knees.
 She did not know what she had expected, unless she had thought that, as in America, house party consisted of number of people oi similar ages and tastes who mel to have a roaring good time.
 tItilooked a depressing enough as. sembly and none realized it more keenly than the. host, but he hat arranged the party more with th' idea of impressing Barbara as t' the importance of his friends thai with giving her what is familiarl, known as a good time.
 Henderson seated her beside tn largest and most important of tn dpwagers.

 Lady Fielding surveyed Barbara through her lorgnette while to her self she said This must be the millionairess
 Then aloud, remembering that several of her pet charities were in need of funds, This is indeed pleasure. Come and sit be- side me, dear Mrs Lowther anc tell me all about America"
 What do you want to heal about, Lady Fielding?"
 Lady Fielding smiled a wintry smile
 About your dear strange people ] Tell me, do you find it hard to un- [ derstand us over here?"
 Barbara smiled wickedly.
 Not at all I bought one of those phrase books, English in Three Days, and with it's help l seem to be able to make myself un- derstood!"
 "No-o-o-v" calculated Lady Field ing.
 She was trying to decide whether or not Barbara was making fun of her, but, in view of the girls money decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.
 Meanwhile Ray was faring nc better than Barbara. His host had put him beside Major Perkins whose interest was confined exclu- sively to sport and chorus girls Henderson had done it purposely hoping to make the American un- comfortable.
 What's your sport?" demanded the major.
 T used to row when I was in college"
 "College?" The major blinked.
 Ray saw there was something wrong.
 Not since I was at Yale Uni versity,' he told him.
 "Ahl not since you were at the Varsity" the major corrected him What did you say the name of il wasp

 At this they lapsed into silence while Major Perkins racked hi' brains trying vainly to think ot something that might interest tht American.

posely raising his voice as though he wished Barbara to hear it.
 T play the saXophone.'
 The saxophone?" queried the major, startled then. "Ha, ha, see, jolly good joke, what?"
 Ray went red. Tt isn't joke play for my living"
 There was a strained silence, then Henderson said,
 MT Lowther is an artist on the saxophone Did you bring your in- strument down with you, Lowther? I'd hoped you'd blow us few tunes after dinner tonight" Ray was conscious of the sting behind his words.
 Sorry, Henderson" he said stiff ly, T didn't"
 But what is a saxophone, MT Lowther?" Lady Fielding inquired q suppose must seem most fright fully ignorant"
 "A saxophone, Lady Fielding, Ray smiled, lis commonly looked upon as the step-child of jazz"
 "Ah, jazz Something of which I strongly disapprove.
 This sure is some poppy bunch, Ray remarked tartly to Barbara that night as they were dressing for dinner. Seems to me I'd rather spend few days in 9 morguc and have done with it.
 Cant say that it was what you'd call a riot this afternoon" Bar bara replied smiling. But Hendy told me that the majority of them were only in for tea. Anyhow Ray, we've got to seem to en- joy ourselves since Hendy's gone out of his way to be nice to us. Mice to us-nice to you, you mean" Ray said scornfully as he flung a collection of ties into an upper drawer T suppose you didn't happen to hear his remark about my saxophone playing?'

 Her answer was muffled, she was slipping on the palest of pink geor- gette dresses over her head. It sounded like, Don't be childish Ray At any rate it angered him sufficiently to continue.

BRITON ENDS BANDIT
RAIDS IN ALBANIA
Dir Jocelyn Percy Is Credited With
Kidding Country Of
Outlaws.

TTRANA LP).-The fact that Albania
q as safe from banditry today as any
country outside the Balkans goes to the
credit of Gen. Sir Jocelyn Percy, a dis
tinguished English soldier WHO is re-
sponsible for the internal security OF
the kingdom.
1t was three years ago that Sir
Jocelyn was called to Albania by Ahmed
Bey Zogu, then President of republic
and now occupant Of the throne under
the title Of King Zog. The country was
infested with bandits, especially in the
north, where their raids were not al
ways confined within national limits
and sometimes produced vexing inter-
national incidents, adding to the prob
lem Of maintaining neighborly rela-
tions with Jugoslavia. The task Of rid
ding the country of these gentry was
complicated by the fact that they op-
Grated from communities which were
openly sympathetic with their tactics.
Gen. Percy first reorganized the
gendarnie on western lines, then turn
ed the force loose against the outlaws.
The result Is that the bandits have
either surrendered or been tracked to
their lairs and exterminated. Further"
more frontier incidents" have become
Increasingly scarce.
The general saw English service in
South Africa, with several expeditions
In India and in the world war, dis
tinguishing himself particularly on the
Somme He left with rank of major
general in 1919 and went to Russia,
first with Gen. Denikine's white Rus
SLAMS" and later with Gen. Wrangel in
the Crimea. After the Wrangle de-
bacle he had several years of ranch
life in British Columbia before coming
