loose and in RATS, some small
RATS of 500 logs and some enor-
nous ones of eight to ten thou
sand. The crews consisted of
men and women apparently in
the best of spirits. They built
fires and cooked their food right
there on the RATS. Like con-
firmed nudiSts they played and
swan, dived and climbed back
on the floats; the lads pursued
the lasses, grabbed them and
tumbled into the water with
shouts and laughter.
Towards evening our steamer
stopped to give way to a caravan
of RATS. Bathers swan in the
narrow space between the RATS
and the steamer. The play and
shouting on the -aftS continued.
Suddenly a strange figure of a
swimmer appeared at the edge of
a raft. He was floating face
down, his arms and legs drawn
under, and just his round back
protruding out of the water. Just
at that moment the sportive mud
lists on the raft dragged a flushed
and diSheveled girl to the edge
and tried to push her into the
water.
Don't, comrades, I can't swim" "
she howled.
The back of the strange float
ing figure came alongside.
Push her in," someone shouted
and the yelling girl was thrown
into the water. She scrambled and
splashed, swallowing water and
grabbing hold Of the body floating
past her. She flung her arms
around it as it turned about in
the water, facing her, and only
then did she realize what it was.
She was looking into the blue
swollen face of drowned man.
Girl Is Saved
For a long time the yell Of the
terrified girl rang in my ears. She
let go Of the body and went under,
came up to the surface again and
mechanically seized the body once
more. Then she gave another yell,
even shriller than the first, and
went down again. She would have
surely drowned, had it not been
for an old man from the raft who
jumped in after her and dragged
her out.
"It's a bad omen," said the Su-
perStitiouS assistant warden Of
our camp. He was a gloomy Pole,
serving his term on a sentence for
espionage. It was strange that he
should have made his way up to
the position of assistant warden,
considering the crime he was
charged with. His belief in omenS
was confirmed in this instance,
for two months later he was killed
with an ak in a drunken brawl.
On the following day, at noon,
we arrived at the village of Ust-
Wynn. Our camp was small and the
buildings were closely grouped to-
gether. An old church stood on a
slight elevation in the very center
Of the camp. The camp had re-
moved the antique grilled-iron
fence that had surrounded the
church and had turned the iron
bolts and nuts and the brick
into stoves for the camp buildings.
The old fence was replaced by
a barbed-wire enclosure. It was
the only church in the village
where services were still held.
Floor Of IkOns
About 200 yards away there was
another church built in the six
teenth century and standing on
hill. It was exceptionally beauti-
full. The old cemetery had been
situated between these two
churches until the penal camp
took possession Of the property.
Now it was all dug up, the monu-
ments and the crosses were re-
moved and more useful build
ings," as Dikiy called them, had
taken their place. At the time

Extraordinary precautions were

The center of the storm apparently

today. The wind reached maxi

that port about midnight and began
moderating to the accompaniment OF
a rising barometer Little damage was
reported, but the beach resorts. which
had been largely deserted, were
plunged into darkness as power lines
were torn down.
Farther North, at Beaufort, the wind
reached serious proportions after mid
night. At 2 am. 63-mile-an-hour

ers over the seawalls and inundating

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 6.-Pur-
chaser John Coolidge, who apparently
inherited his famous fathers love for
silence, broke a precedent today to
talk about his favorite subject-being
railroad man."
The son of former President Calvin
Coolidge, in one Of his rare public
utterances, modestly told of his prog
ress during the seven years, come
Tuesday, he has devoted to his chosen
career with the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Co.
He was enthusiastic as he spoke Of
"his love and enjoyment of the work.
and blushed as officials of the road
called him "a real railroad man who
was liked by everyone connected with
the company"
The day prior to his twenty-ninth
birthday found Coolidge engaged In
purchasing work for the railroads
various subsidiaries. His duties con-
sist mainly of looking after the needs
of the roads several divisions and
