CHAPTER V

Melita and Priscilla crowded onto the bridge to observe the cause of all the disturbance, Kay was vali- antly trying to keep the Chinook on her course, but the little boat did a,good deal of bobbing. As she nosed down, the propeller would lift out of the water for few seconds. Then the engine, relieved of strain against the water would race noisily, fright ening the three girls.
 "D-darn them anyhow" nut tered Kay They didn't have to pass so close"
 Melita held to the edge of the chart table. "So there are road hogs on the water, tool"
 ~ The boat now showing Its trim gold-lettered stern was indeed large by comparison with the "Chinnook," and she had plenty of L.oeed. Two young men in white sweaters stood at the stern rail, waving cheerfully.
 Look at those - those idiots" said Priscilla with venom. T just hope we see them again"

 The trim yacht with her cheer ful pair at the stern was quickly forgotten as the girls became more accustomed to their little boat and began to take in the restful beau- ties. Of water and green distant eiioreline.

 Not two days later she was to re- cali her use Of the words "monot- pnmm" and "tiresome"- and wish 10 Heaven that she had been Q more accurate prophet But mean- Elgiie they did enjoy the cruise to tlle utmost. Two hours after the pakginy Of tho big yacht, Kay an- noltnced that they were going into Key-Hole Pass. We've hit it jus! right, according to Jim Pike. An hour later and the tide would be running too swift against us."
 She reached for the control panel, set the engine Up to it's full revolutions and started through the narrow pass. Once, half way through the engine coughed, seemed to stop dead. Kay Dear born paIed, for Jim Pike had warned that without power q small boat might be whiried back down through Key-Hole Pass like a chip -- perhaps to be dashed on the rocky shore, But a second later the doughty motor was chugging r1errily away again, and within q few minutes the Chinook" had safely negotiated the pass. Kay thought 1t just as well not to ifl- form Melita and Priscilla what could have happened. And she re- solved never again to start on ! cruise with such slender know ledge Of the things Jim Pike knew by second nature,

THE blast that rocked the U. s. A battieship Maine in Havana harbor, snufsing out 267 lives 30 years ago, still reverberates through the pages of American history. Here was q major naval disaster that has dehed satisfac. tory explanation.
 ordered, early In 1898, to pro. tect the lives of American citizens in Cuba, which was then e,n. bro!led in . civil war with Spain, the Masne was anchored at Buoy No. {, Havana. Suddenly, at o:40 o'clock on the night of Feb. IS. the great ship iurched high into the air, tossed sidewise and set~ tied back into the water, aAane. Only 42 were saved uninjufed.
 The next morning American newspapers streamered the story from coast to coast and the nation took up tho cry "Remember the Maine" Actually, the Spanish. American War was launched on that date, although technically, Presidens Mckinley did not send his war message to Congress un- til April Il. On April 20, war was formally declared.
 But today the sinking of the Maine remains . major mystery Whether the explosion was . dc. iiberate act of the spanish, was an accident or an act Of . Cuban inc surrecto, eager to ernbroil Spain in war with the United States, has never been determined. A rev. enue stamp issued in 1898 pictures the Maine.
