TWO MEN ARE
CARRIED TO SEA
BY TIDAL WAVE
Duo Saved After Shack Is
HurtIed Back to Land
in Hurricane.
BY E. III. SINGLETON
As Told to the United Press
Cnnvright- 1875. bY United Pressl

HOMESTEAD, Fla, Sept. Any
buddy and I rode out to sea on
tidal wave aboard a floating shack.
Just about when We thought 1t was
all over with us. We found ourselves
safe on land again.
1t was one of the wierdest eX-
periences of my life.
When the storm hit Our camp, my
buddy and I went to a shack to stay
there until the hurricane blew over.
But the wind crushed the shack and
we crawled out of the mess Of splin-
tered wood.
just then We saw another shack
floating toward us. 1t looked pretty
solid. AS it came by, We dived in
through a window and hung on as
best we could while it rolled and
tossed.
Finally, the shack rolled over on
its side. We looked out another
window and what we saw made us
turn whittier than we were. We were
riding the back of a huge tidal
wave that was carrying us out to
sea, faster and faster.
I thought: "Old, man, here's the
end of everything"
A few minutes later we felt the
shack bump We rolled around in
side like dried peas in pod. Then
the rolling stopped. We lay still
and looked at each other, wonder
ioo. "What'c next 2"
Finally, we crawled on our hands
and knees to where the door was.
We wondered what would happen If
we opened it. Would water pour in
and drown us like trapped rats?
We decided to take chance.
The sight that met our eyes made
me believe there was a Santa Claus.
For there we were stranded on a
slight elevation on the key.

BERLITZ PREPARES
FOR AUTUMN TERM
Prof. J. L. A. Rehbock in Charge
of School Specializing in
Languages.

Preparations for a most successful
year are being made by the Berlitz
School, which specializes in languages,
particularly French, Spanish and Ger
man, as the time to start the Fall
term approaches.
The school is under the direction
of Prof. j. L. A. Rehbock, whose
method of teaching is to take the
strangeness out of foreign languages"
and to encourage the student to learn
to talk by talking" the particular Ian
guage in which he is interested.
A typical Berlitz class is a small
group of students under the instruc-
ton of a native teacher No English
is permitted in the foreign language
classes, and from the first lesson the
pupil hears and speaks only the Ian
guage being studied. He hears moth
ing that is not entirely idiomatic in
the new language, and his pronun-
citation, which can only be acquired
by imitation, must eventually be
correct.
Under the direction of Prof. Reh-
book the school has grown to twice
its former size, both in classroom
space and number of students. MANY
of whom come from the extreme
South and far West.
