kettle Of reindeer stew. and by
many cots and beds. with narrow
little aisles between the stove and
the cots and beds. II IL very
warm. The officers are all un-
shaver and tired and many OF
them are Sleeping but they are
Weakened up to greet US.
Some OF them then lie back down
and 90 TO sleep. and 30 also do our
two little journalists with the very
swarthy faces and the beautiful
white trench coats.
We talk for a while with the
officers. They tell US that the
Russian patrols win be out In about
an hour, and that two patrols came
through during the past night.
which is easy to do in this country
where there are no trenches and
no wire.
When we are sure the two extra
journalists are asleep, those Of US
who brought brandy bring out the
bottles from the pockets Of our
trench coats, for this is the incest
thing you can do when you visit
the lines because the whole mill
tary zone is bone dry by Finnish
law, and the fellows up there in
the cold appreciate nothing more
than a little snort in tin cup sit
ting around stove.
There Is not very much brandy
left, so We pour II carefully. and
the officers who have not had a
little snort since the Russians came
into the country watch the pouring
with great but politely restrained
interest.
We try to pour it quietly In or
der not to wake the two sleeping
journalists who neglected to bring
any brandy Of their own. Not only
is brandy expensive in Finland,
but II is also hard TO get. AZ the
government liquor stores are open
only a few hours week and then
you must stand in line and can get
only one small bottle.
But someone's hand slipped and
one bottle made a little gurgle as
the brandy went into the cup.
which instantly woke both the
journalists. They sat up and look
ed at the brandy. which was un-
fortunate. particularly since there
is not much brandy left and they
have already drunk more than
their share on the trip up.
The Finnish captain was q swell
guy, who said little but smiled at
US in thanks and drank his snort
Of brandy and refused n second
one, saying that although 1t WAS
excellent brandy. we must remem-
Der that he was in charge Of many
men up here tonight.
But the two journalists-the
ones who didn't care much for
democracy. or Finland or the cold
remember would not have re-
fused a second drink had 1t been
Offered 10 them, which 1t was not.
But they picked the bottle up off
the table and each poured himself
a generous second snort anyway.
And Of all the strange. weird
things that were to happen this
night think the most completely
inexplicable of all was that none
Of US killed either Of those jour

To my dismay. tho wind vecred

course impossible. AZ the waves
rolled higher and higher we had
TO shorten sail, first taking five
rolls in the mainsall. dropping the
staysail and then lowering the
mainsaii altogether.
Finally we hose-to with only the

would steady the Idle Hour and

down to make some supper and.
TO my dismay, found that an en-

capsized and was running into the

As Idle Hour tossed and heaved

The gas tanks were 20 fun that
when Idle Hour would hat, gaAo-

Suddenly. with no warning ct
