D@ He World War was dragging
along through its bloody middle

Escadrille. decided = like some hum

The book was sMutiny on the

1t was there that he met Nordhof.
Nordhoff was born of American par
ents in London in 1887. He grew up
on his fathers ranch in Lower Cali
fornia, Mexico, was graduated from
Harvard in 1909. and raised sugar cane
in Mexico until the revolution Of 1911
interfered. He went into business in
California. and in 1916 went 10 France
as an ambulance driver with the Amer
lean Field Service. Then he joined the
French Foreign Legion. went to two
schools of military aviation, and trans

He and Hall became fast friends at
once When the United States entered
the war they transferred, together, to
the u. S. army aying corps.
In May, 1918, Hall crashed behind
the German lines and was carried off
to German prison camp, where he
remained until the spring of 1919. He
escaped and reioined Nordhoff in Paris.
Both men were decorated for gallantry
by this time; Nordhoff won a Croix de
Guerre, and Hall a Medaille Miiitaire
fawarded twice., a Croix de Guerre
and an American Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross.
The literary partnership between the
two men began there in Paris, when
they were commissioned to write the
story Of the Lafayette Escadrille. Hall
had already won his spurs as writer,
having published series Of papers on
High Adventure In the Atlantic
Monthly and having interested the edi-

permanently.
IL seemed important TO them TO get
away from the falsities and conven-
tionsIities OF modern civilization. They
were ardent admirers of Stevenson and
Melville. who had written gIowingly of
life on Tahiti; and when they visited

that they follow their already formed

and never thereafter do anything worth
mentioning. But Hall and Nordhof
were different. They went to the MIDI
Pacific to work. not to loaf. and work
they did-diligently and to some con-
sequence.
A great deal of research was neces-
sary for their book on the Bounty. For
a time Hall thought he would have TO
go all the way to England to examine
the files of the British Admiralty for
only there could he read the records
of the mutineers' trials, the statements
Of Captain Bligh and other officers. and
other essential documents. But he
wrote to admiralty officials first and
found them 50 generous of their time
that the trip to London was trnneces-
sary.
Photostatic copies were made of the
emutineers' trial and other important
papers. A British naval officer sent
plans Of the ships deck and rigging,
copied her log. and even made de-
tailed scale. model of the ship, and sent
the photographs along
Armed with all of the facts, the two
authors started then the method Of cole
laboration which they have used ever
since.
First they spend hours talking the
story over until they have the char
aeters and the plot thoroughly in mind.
Then they divide the prospective book
into chapters and decide what action
shall take place IN each chapter That
done, they go through the list and each
man picks the ones he would especially
like to handle. When both pick the
same chapter, they toss coin to see
who gets it.
Then the actual writing begins. As
each one completes a chapter he hands
it to the other, who reads il carefully.
