WARNING KEEP OFF ICE

Parents are notified to warn
children to stay off the ice at the
lake to avoid drownings such as
have occurred in other cities.
The ice is not safe, and it is
extremely dangerous to venture
onto It. When It is safe chill
dren and parents will be noti-
fled, said Chief of Police Her
shiser, Monday.

Thus, when yea come to be seated,
your politeness is limited to stepping
table-high and then easing yourself
down while the sliding is good.
One question always asked of de-
stroyer sailors is: do you get sea-
sick?" The truth of the matter is, only
in rare instances do men 60 to sea in
destroyers and always evade seasick-,
ness There are men who claim never
to have been laid up. They are to be
envied, for I have seen the hardest
old salt grow green around the gills.
Recently a grizzled member of our
deck force and l were discussing ,*his
question during some bad weather.
Suddenly he broke off the conversa-
ton and went to the rail. When he
came back he said rather sheepishly:
''It's gotta happen to every guy once.
Aside from seasickness, sleeping is
the most difficult thing we have to
work out. There is really no way to
beat the game when the ship is in one
of her pitching tantrums. You can try
putting strangle hold on the springs
and mattress but after several hours
of such maneuvering your strength
gives out and then you ride the best
way you can Mostly it's bounce.
After one hard night of such pitching
greeted the new day more exhausted
than when turned in. When l men
toned it to our chief machinist's Wate
he said: you got nothing on me. sir.
1t was sure tough in the chiefs quar-
tiers last night. spent half the night
pounding the rivets up through the
overhead"
That is the thing that strikes one
about destroyer sailors. No matter
how tough the going, they can always
see the humorous side, even if they
have to turn the joke on themselves.
But with all its attendant hardships,
there is something about destroyer life
that holds the men in its service. For
one thing, the small crew makes for
an air of intimacy. Everybody on
board knows everybody else. And due
to the limited man power (the average
crew is lis mem the great amount of
work requires close cooperation. The
way of a shirker is short and it isn't
long before he is headed elsewhere.

doorway of the captains emergency
cabin to report weather conditions.
Just as said: They're breaking a lit
tie higher" nasty one, worse than
all the rest, struck with full force.
When it broke, a deluge of water
leaped completely over the bridge top
and fell like a sheet between me and
the door. Never was weather report
so wildly illustrated.
What does one do when ship rolls
and pitches so wildly? The best answer
is: hang on! Emergency life lines are
rugged in from the ships regular rail
and all hands pull and slide along as
best they can from one hatch to

keep utensils over a fire we eat at
table. However, that doesn't mean
that we dine in solid comfort as you
would on an ocean liner. There's a
great difference.
Wooden sideboards called fiddle
boards" cover our table and mark it
off into squares. Within the squares
the usual tableware is placed. Your
plate might go for stroll but even
tually slat will stop it. Then, if you
are patient. the next roll or pitch, will
bring it back to you. 1t would be the
same with our chairs, but we provide
for that by securing them to the table
legs with a stout piece of manila line.

against the bulkhead of the bridge.
And occasionally particularly vicious
wave will outdo all the rest. That
happened recently on a trip we made
off the Oregon coast.
As we headed north we ran into
high winds that whipped the sea into
a witch's cauldron. For hours we
pounded into the angry froth and held
our course. The long, mountain-crested
waves were. for the most part, in series
of threes. Our ship, the Zane, would
struggle up one great crest, slide over
and then bury her bow rail-deep in the
second one. Each time we plunged
under, sheets of water came hurting

Besides rolling, destroyers have
way of pitching that is movement all
their own. If head seas are encoun-
tered, a ship of this class will pitch
and buck like a wild horse. Accom-
panying the tossing will be quivering
motion akin to that of tuning fork.
The fo'c'sle will be under water a
greater part of the time. Seas will
climb aboard to break and thunder

turbines possessing more horsepower
than those of battleship, torpedo
tubes and depth charges are crammed
in and on the ship. What space is lett
is given over to officers and crew. A
man serving on board such craft has
little more room than a Sardlne IN a
tin, so perhaps that has something to
do with the nickname. But regardless
of its origination, there is one thing of
which you may be sure. Destroyer
sailors resent hearing anyone but them
selves call their vessels Tin Cans.
They have pride in the staunch little
ships that the heaviest seas can't break.
Sometime you may be at sea. You'll
wrap yourself in heavy robes and
stretch out in deck chair to enjoy the
voyage While you are munching
sweets and taking life easy, you'll see
a mere speck come tearing over the
horizon. In a few minutes the speck
will grow into ship.
There'I be a rake to her masts,
bone in her teeth and saucy way
about her that will Immediately tell
YOU she is a destroyer. If there is a
swell or a chop to the sea. or high
wind, you'll do we'll to see more OF her
than her masts and smokestacks.
She'll roll and pitch until it will make
you sick to watch her. AS one old
timer said to me long time ago when l
asked about destroyer duty: They're
tough line of boats, Plenty hard.
Roll? Why, mister, they even roll in
dry dock"'
Since that long ago conversation l
have learned the old-timer exaggerated
bit - but not too much. for de-
stroyers do have a way of rolling.
From personal experience know they
roll even in good weather. The least
wind, or even moderate sea on their
quarter, will cause them to protest
violently by shaking their masts from
side to side.
Various stories have been told about
terrific rolling. Some old destroyer
hands claim to have rolled sixty de-
grees to side. That's quite nip-over.
However, there are recorded instances
where the ship went to flfty-tWo
degrees Anything over forty degrees
seems like the end of everything so we
won't quibble with the lads who swear
to sixty or more.

In heavy weather eating becomes
quite a problem. When the ship is
laboring in very heavy seas it is inn
