UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Yesterday we spoke of the strange
story of the House of Stuart. While
ruling Scotland during a period of
232 years, the monarchs met one
piece of bad fortune after another.
Then the world seemed to smile
on the House of Stuart. The son
of Mary. Queen of Scots, became the
ruler of both England and Scot
land.
The change was quite peaceful.
The death of Queen Elizabeth left
no direct heir to the English throne.
James, already the ruler of Scotland,
was asked to come to London to be
crowned.
The rather quiet and peaceful
reign of King James did not mean
a lasting change in the story of
the House of Stuart. After his
death his son Charles took his place
and Charles went through trouble
of an extreme kind.
At that time a new religion was
growing up in England. The Puri-
tans had started out to improve the
Church of England, but in time
they broke into revolt. Their leader
Oliver Cromwell, led his forces to
victory on the battlefield. King
Charles was captured and put to
death.
The Kings son, also named
Charles. fed to France. Later he
sailed to Scotland and with an army

West quite properly led the deuce
of spades-not the queen. East put
up the ace of spades and returned
the suit. Now Souths jack of
spades was trapped.
1t would have been best for South
to put up the king of spades CAL
though even then correct defense
would beat South unless he guessed
the club situation). AS it happened,
however, South f1nessed the jack of
spades, losing to Vests queen.
A spade return by West then set
up East's suit. South now had to
go after the clubs, and not unnatur-
ally took the first club trick with
dummy's ace From then on there
was no hope for South. West got
In with the queen of clubs and led a
heart to his partners ace, and East
then took his established spades.
Note that South easily makes his
contract if Vests opening lead is
the queen of spades. That gives
declarer two spade tricks-enough
for his contract. since he can easily
win four clubs and three diamonds.

I'LL Fortune Followed Stuurts
After Cromwell died Charlie,

After Cromwell died Charles was
asked to come back to England to
rule as King. He accepted, and held
the throne until his death Is years
later. In that period the great
plague visited London and much of
the city was destroyed in the great
fire.
The changes of power in Great
Britain had a great deal to do with
sarly American history. While
Cromwell was in control of Eng
land, thousands of Cavaliers, mem
bers of the Kings party" moved
to Virginia and settled there.
Later. the return of Charles
caused thousands of Puritans to
flee across the Atlantic. They set
tied in New England, and helped
build up the colonies of Massachu-
setts, Rhode Island and Connecti-
cut.

for duties as a liaison officer be-

Roosevelt said his resignation let

might be adverse publicity from his
being commissioned a special cap

selective service program.
He said he wanted to resign SO he
could register Wednesday in the
draft.
Echols said Roosevelt insisted his
resignation. when first submitted on
Saturday, be forwarded Immediately
to Washington, but Echols declared
he refused to comply ION my own
responsibility" because a large
amount of work is passing through

Chung 10 Small Bush All
Saturday Night While
SearChers Worked

Rescued yesterday morning from
n cliff on Mt. Juneau after cling
ing desperately all night to a
small bush at the edge of a steep
overhang. John Cowgirl. %, was
brought to safety by a party con-
sisting of Firemen, Policemen,
miners and volunteers.
The young Territorial Depart
ment of Public Welfare employee,
who arrived here only a week ago
from Cadillac, Mich, had lost MS
way down the mountain Saturday
after climbing to the top, decided
to follow down a stream, lost his
footing on a steep slope in the
gathering darkness and slid pain
fully to the edge of the overhang
above the Alaska Juneau bunk
house.
Saved by Bush
He held to the bush, the only one
in that vicinity, with his right hand,
from late Saturday afternoon un-
til 7 o'clock Sunday morning when
rescuers were able TO tie a rope
about him and lift and carry him
back up the slope.
Y didn't realize how steep that
cliff was until morning when l
could see. Then l was really fright
ened," Cowgirl said today.
He admitted he started down the
mountain trail too late and that
he made a mistake when he de-

cided to descend the stream bed
II was steep and he started to slide
not fast but too fast for him t(
regain his balance. He manage
to keep on his back because, az
he said today, if he had been roll
ing over he certainly would have
gone over the cliff
Wet and Cold
During his descent he fell into
the stream and got thoroughly wet
and cold. He was wearing only a
pair of Stacks and jacket. Dur
ing the bitter night he was glad
it wasn't raining and glad that
the moon was shining, he said. The
U. S. Weather Bureau said the
minimum temperature during the
night was 35 degrees in Juneau. 1t
was probably colder than that on
the mountainside Cowgirl swears
it was), though the radio-sonde
balloon observation at 1890 o'clock
Saturday night showed it two de-
grees warmer at 1000 feet than at
sea level.
Four newspaper carriers, JACKIE
Pasquan, Edward Nelson, Fred Sor-
ri and Clancy Foster, heard Cow
gills cries for help when they de-
livered papers to the clubhouse at
6 O'Clock Saturday night. They no
titled Patrolman B. H. Manery OF
the Juneau Police Department, VINO
went to the Basin Road to inves-
tigate whether the call was
hoax. He fired two pistol shots and
heard Cowgirl calling to him from
above. Cowgirl said when he heard
the shots and the fire alarm horn
a few minutes later summoning
search party he knew an effort was
being made to reach him.
Waved Handkerchief
Il squeezed the life out of that
BUSH" Cowgirl said. He continued
TO wave a white handkerchief with
his left hand in hopes someone
would be able to see him.
Manery notified Fire Chief V. W.
Mulvihill who obtained authority
from U. S Commissioner Felix Gray
to organize a search party. 1t was
then that the fire alarm was
sounded
Five firemen, w. Rudolf, Sam
Paul Jr., Mike Nicholson, Kenneth
Fuller and Dicky Harris, set out in
search of Cowgirl.
Shortly after midnight Cowgirl
heard the rescuers above him.
Though he could hear them plain
ly, they could not hear his shouts.
He tried to strike a match but
found his matches had been soaked
when he fell in the stream. He put
them against his body to warm and
dry. and finally was able to strike
one and light a sheet of paper
from notebook. Because he was
in crevice, those above did not
see him.
BY this time, Cowgirl had been
picked out by searchlights from be-
low. He hung at the bring OF a
200-foot cliff.
The rescuers, about $50 feet above
Cowgirl, had only 1875 feet OF rope
and were unable to reach him, SC
they returned to the firehall.
When the afternoon shift of min
ers came off shift at l O'Clock in
the morning, nine of them volun-
teered to continue the rescue e.
