u ing black squares will be hoisted on
~ West Indian fagpoes. They are
sign for action. In towns shopkeepers will
board up the fronts of their stores and in the
country all livestock will be herded into
barns. Small boats will be beached and large
boats will be tied to quiet anchorages with
doubled lines. Those small flags mean that
the Carib Indian god Hurrican is angry and
that he will strike vengeance on offending
mortals with the most terrible cf all weapons
- the hurricane. These storms are as sea-
sonal as crocuses and chrysanthemums and
their season is here now.
Within the next few weeks scores of people
will die. and property worth millions will be
destroyed Houses will be ground into match
wood, boats will be smashed on rocks as if
they were no more than old electric-light
bulbs. and rails will be ripped up. These
things will happen, that is, if the Western
World gets its annual quota of these storms.
For statistics allot slightly over six cyclones
year to this area.
The unfortunate native of Haiti. Puerto
Rico or the Dominican Republic who hap
pens to be in the path of the big wind will
need no reports over the radio, and will need
to see no weather-st flags to know what
is about to happen. Fast-moving cirrus
clouds will appear in the sky and the world
will become strangely quiet. Birds will cease
singing and red ants will scuttle for cover.
The air will be unnaturally still and sultry,
and tides will be abnormally high = the
slow moving storm is driving water before it.
Then low and distant rumble will become
audible and the sky will begin to darken.
The destruction usually begins with an
Introductory gust of wind. Then the world
begins to fall to pieces. Rain will drive with
the force of shot and the sky will become
flaming Cauldron of electrical energy. These
things don't matter. 1t is the wind that
counts: the wind in which no man and no
animal can survive. How fast does it go? No
one knows Weather instruments are always
torn away before the maximum velocity can
be registered. So guess up to 200 miles
an hour and you will probably be right. BY
calculating the wind pressure necessary to
overturn tombstones and stone walls, this
figure has been reached. Few structures can
withstand this punishment. Roofs are ripped
off like the tops OF 50 many cracker boxes and
telephone poles are handled as if they were
toothpicks. The noise of nature on the ramp
age is deafening.
The wind may blow for two days or it may
all be over in two hours. But whatever the
duration, the hurricane always has one
annoying, taunting feature: when it is half
over there is a period of calm This means
that the middle. or the eye" of the storm is
at hand In this area there is no wind. The
sun may even shine for few brief moments,
Then the destruction starts with new and
increased energy, this time the wind coming
from the opposite direction. so as to uproot
anything that wthstoOd its predecessor.
This feature Of the hurricane has tricked
many an unwary person, and having tricked
him, has destroyed him.

Splinter Fleet" is the name of the

Is now in the works 1T Hollywood.
The film is based ON the activities
Of our submarine chasers during the
World War. Tho history Of the i'm

14& feet BEAM, built and employed
for the express purpose Of ridding the
seas Of U-boats, Is little known. Uncle
Sam constructed about $50 of them,
152 Of which were employed overseas.
The outstanding unit action In which
they participated was the Battle Of
Durazzo, on the Albanian coast, Oc-
tober 2, 1918. In that operation IL
sub chasers, under the late Capt.
G. P. CJuggie') Nelson. played bril-
