Two habits were enough: John

I didn't add Khdt to these.
Our return trip was an easy
one The Third hadn't come aboard
with the last shore boat, and the
skipper gave me a temporary
rating: I was Third! We dis
charged cargo at Baltimore, and
I was offered a chance to take an
examination for Third Mates
papers. Instead, I joined Uncle
Sans Navy again, putting in for
a China station.
AS Spike had predicted, things
were happening. China was in
turmoil. France had sent troops
to Fez. Berlin ordered a gunboat
to Morocco. Europe, the Orient
was arming. Turks were persecut-
ing the Balkans.
Again I stood at the foot of
Lascazar Row. More serious now

had been seized in ireland. The
Servian minister at Vienna was
murdered. At Sarajevo, the dandy,
Ferdinand, was assassinated.
Shanghai: August 5, 1914. In
an American bar 1 found Spike,
ready to sail for England on the
first ship out. German guns had
silenced Fort Fleron, guarding
Liege, and he knew what would
follow. Belgium might hold up
the advance, but the Kaiser would
break through and England would
come in.
Spike" 1 said, I'm going with
you, and you can't stop me this
time"
He gave me long look, and
promptly knocked me down with
a nicely directed fist to my chin.
He stared at me,> watching me
get to my feet. Didn't l tell you
if you ever deserted the Navy I'd
kill you?" He went on and on.
There were such things in life as
duty and honor and loyalty, and
by the good God it was time that
I learned about them.
At last he calmed, and grew re-
morseful-a little. l explained at
length that England would walk
away with Germany and Austria
like 1924. Soon it would be
ended, and Uncle Sam would
never get into it.
you only live once, Spike, and
death is so damned permanent.
Why take life so seriously when
you never get out of it alive? ?"
There I was, stranded in the
Navy, patrolling China waters
the routine of daily duties was
hard on a mans temperament.
At last he nodded. He agreed
with me, or perhaps saw it was
the best thing to do-pretended
that he liked the idea.
All right, son. It's your life, l
suppose. If you want a thing
badly enough, you'll only learn if
you get it."
I BOUGHT civilian clothes, tore
up my 48-hour liberty pass, and
with Spike took passage to Bonn
bay; no ship was leaving for Eu-
rope. In India we enlisted for the
duration of the war. From Bonn
bay we went second class on an
English boat bound for Liverpool.
A train for London to report for
duty, and in five days were prop

Spike had the rating of Chief
Officer, and was at once put in
command of a mine layer and
sent to the North Sea. l went to
a destroyer which was ordered to
Morocco. Nothing much hap
pened, and l transferred to a
mine sweeper, sailing north after
