passengers. There was already note of
hysteria in the cries of the women, he thought.
Just as there had been that ghastly night when
mine had ripped the Ivanhoe open. He could
still remember old Captain Waterman on the
bridge as she disappeared, his hands fast on
the rail and his anguished and bewildered face
etched sharply in the ghastly white flares
from the tossing lifeboats, as they stood off,
waiting for the end.
He stared across the sea and his lips COM
pressed as he saw the U-boat swing little
and bring a gun to bear The orange squirt of
the explosion was followed by splitting
crash on the Cynthia's upper deck, and for
moment Captain Rahlee had the sick thought
she was trying to destroy the boats. Then it
came to him she was really trying for the
wireless house, so details of her own position
could not be sent out Trust an efficient
enemy to have blueprints of all the large ships
and knowing where to strike!
Evening star., 1940-01-14

He felt impotent rage swell within him.
The Cynthia was not armed. She could not
fight back. The orange squirt came again, and
a second shell hit the Cynthia just abaft the
bridge Captain Rahlee felt a blast of fiery air
staggering him, then whimpering of steel
fragments about him, and last of all heavy,
burning blow that seemed to eat into the
small of his back and made him grasp at the
ships rail to keep from falling.
MY glory, sir" someone said, and Captain
Rahlee turned to discover Mr.. Means, his
first mate, at his elbow, already spray
soaked and with reddening splinter cash
along one cheek, busily buttoning his hastily
donned jacket Things were happening fast.
Captain Rahlee was breathing hard. He felt
something warm running down his side and
knew he was wounded. But there was little
pain as yet and his voice held steady: 60
down and tell the stewards to keep the pas
sengers as calm as they can. You get the
watches organized and swing the boats clear"
He stared at the U-boat and gritted his teeth.
Make it fast That devil may blow us open
before she clears out"
"Yes, sir" agreed Mr.. Means, and went
away on the run. Captain Rahlee passed
shaking hands over his face, and when he
looked up the raider was submerging. He
wondered if she had decided not to waste any

clusters we're still shining brightly, dimming
the moon.
1t was not dangerous sea, he considered.
The boats, properly handled, would live with
out trouble. Underfoot the slow engine pulse
was still plain, and there was still the heavy
throbbing of the pumps. The engine-room
speaking tube whistled even as he felt COM
forted on that thought, and the chiefs un-
hurried voice said, The waters coming above
the plates now, sir. Not very FAST but enough.
Il understand Mr.. Watson Abandon when
you have to. don't think she'll make any
sudden plunge, unless the bulkheads give
entirely But take no chances"
He plugged the speaking tube slowly and
with care, shaken with pain. 1t was, he
reflected, harder for those men who had to
remain below and work until the bitter end.
No one cared to die confined, with never a
chance for life if the ship slid abruptly under.
But Watson had cool head. He would hold
his men just as long as was practical, and then
get them on deck and into the boats. There
would be no panic on the Cynthia as there had
been on the Ivanhoe in II. He spared a
moment to wonder why people lost their
heads under stress There was McInturf, first
mate of the Walla Walla, who had seemed the
most levelheaded of all, but he had jumped

He plugged the tube wearily and turned to
find the little apprentice, Thomas, at his
elbow with the radio operators report. He
frightened the paper against the wind and read

Maurice Hindus will speak on
What Next In Europe
A larger number Of people each
year declare Maurice Hindus is the
best Informed American citizen on
the great experiment in Soviet Rus
STA. The reasons for this are not
difficult to find, Rabbi Thurman
said.
Visiting his native land ten times
since the revolution, Hindus has
travelled throughout most parts of
European Russia. has crossed ST.
of Russia, has spent months with
the peasants, and has viewed the
vast industries that are now in the
process of building. In recent
years, he has spent much time on
the large collectiviZation farms
studying this most revolutionary
agricultural experiment that the
world has ever known.
He has interviewed outstanding
leaders in the new Russia. He is
acquainted with the leaders in the
fields of art, education and govern
ment, and each year he comes back
to America with new material for

1t is not easy for an American
to understand the mind Of Russia.
Hindus was born in Russia, came to
this country at the age of fourteen,
was educated at Colgate and Har-
ward, knows Russian history, Rus.
sian literature, and of course, the
Russian language.
Moreover he is not interested in
proving anything. He is in no sense
a propaganda. He reports thor
oughly and Understandings what
he has seen and experienced in the
new Russia since the revolution.
Having known Russia in the days
of the ear he is able to contrast
the present Russia with the old
Russia. He is a keen observer and
a brilliant interpreter of the Great
changes taking place in his native
land. Sincerely, patiently, humor-
ously in a spirit of kinship, he pic
lures to American audiences the
Russian people living during these
exciting times.
Mr.. Hindus is a speaker Of high
attainments. He has addressed all
types of audiences in all parts Of
the United States and Canada. He
is n writer who speaks fully as
we'll as he writes. A master Of the
spoken word, the word pictures he
paints are truthful, complete, ad.
mirably restrained, and yet filled
with color.
Mr.. Hindus is not merely a keen
observer of surface manifestations
there is depth to his observations
and he has a mind that grasps the
historical significance Of a new
movement. In a single lecture he
gives his audience a better under.

]. A. Harrison
Candidate For
State Senator

James A. Harrison announces to-
day in the political announcement
column of the Nogales international
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for State Senator.
He is the first local candidate to
definitely announce his candidacy
in the 1910 campaign now getting
under way throughout the state.
Should Mr.. Harrison be nominated
in September and elected in No
vember he would be no stranger in
legislative halls at Phoenix for he
served three consecutive terms as
Senator prior to January 1889 and
also held that post in the first
State Legislature the year Arizona
became a state in 1912 when the
late George w. P. Hunt was Ari-
zona's first governor.
A resident of this part of the
state for more than half g. CEN
tury, Mr. Harrison needs no lengthy
introduction to the voters of San
ia Cruz County. He located in Ari-
zona Cat Tucson in 1879 and at
Washington Camp in this county
in 1880-60 years ago, and is known
as one of the county's most SUBJ
stantial citizens and cattlemeh and
a man who made an excellent rec
ord as a legislator He has been a
lifelong Democrat
