When the second torpedo hit, Mary Carroll was propelled forward down the deck, towards the listing bow. Her lace. struck a bulkhead. The ship trembled in the water Again Mary was thrown forward toward the place where the prov was dangerously close to the wa ter's edge. But she was halted ab- ruptly. A beam struck. her and the blindness of pain shut out all else.
 Great arms encircled her. She found herself being lifted up. Then all she knew was the sickening, un- steady motion of a light craft in a choppy sea.
 When she regained conscious ness she found her hfeboat was already at some distance from the ship. The sea danced in the still brilliant moonlight. It had come alive, now, with all manner of ob- jects bobbing on it's surface. In a fan, out from the sinking Mo- ravia, red flares showed the life- boats. Now and then, one of them would stop to drag a swimmer out of the water.
 You're injured. Miss" voice said to Mary. A hand held @ drenching cloth to her face.
 Thanks, oh, thanks" she start- ed to reply. Then everything was plotted out in the ghastly scene as a fiery lash of pain struck her face. She felt a merciful curtain of oblivion. drawn over her This" she thought, lis the end" (TO Be COntinued)

 Sports
Chestnut Hills and Kiesels in Crucial League Games Thurs
 day Mite.
By BOB L. PALMER

ny A1OD AAe HAANAASAS
 Oakville, Jan. g. In respect to Santa Claus and Father Time, both of whom had their big days last week, action in the Oakville-Wa- tertown Court league was suspended until tomorrow night. At that time a pair of attractive games are on the books for the basketball starv- ed clients.
 In the opener at 7:30 the Kiesels and Chestnut Hills will attempt to match baskets in what should be one of the best offerings of the sea- son. Both are in a triple tie with the Watertown Mfg. five for first place and 8 defeat for either would practically eliminate any hopes they may hold for the round pen- nant.
 The teams are rated on even terms as their past performances have been about the same. One word fittingly describes both arrays inconsistent, looking like world beaters one night and group of high school freshman another. The long layoff won't do them any good either and we look to a slug gish performance from both ends.
 In the night cap the Oakville A. A. still gunning for their first vic tory of the season and the Com munity Market five who nearly up- set the high geared Hills their last time out will meet in an all Oak vile battle.
 An artice in a local paper stated recently that attendance has been falling oil of late, which is true but the writer gave three poor req sons, not one of which could hold water. He said oyermatched teams, poor publicity and inexperienced officiating were the reasons. With four of the seven teams still main- faiuing an excellent chance of fin- ishing on top and only two weeks of play reniaining-well the race couldn't simply be any tighter. True the loop has two weak sisters, but they manage to throw scare into the big boys once in a while. The officiating has not been of the Can" tral board type but 1t is the same as the circuits been putting up with for three seasons. I am afraid we will have to dig down deeper for the bare facts my friend. A little late perhaps but HAPPY NEW YEAR.

CHAPTER VII
ITO the lifeboatsl'

'sro the lifeboatSl"
 A steward was calling into the darkness. His voice boomed to make itself heard above the cries and con- eusion in the passageway.
 In the blackness of her cabin Mary's hands searched for the all- important lifebelt. And one fol Anna, too" she remembered as she groped beneath the bunk for the bloated canvas jackets. And now for some clothes"
 But the blackness was unyield- ing. What she thought was the door to her closet turned out to be the door to the passageway "Never mind, this will do." On the way out, her hands had caught up the simple wrap around ot Annas gray uniform. Open from neck to hem 1t was easy tc don even in the dark.
 Then, with whatever there is about woman that makes a handbag an essential, Mary auto- natically caught up a purse.
 The pasSageway Swarmed with night figures. Here and there hand fiaShlight sent beady rays into the dark. Jostling passengers pushed and elbowed their way up the companionway's flight to the life-saving stations of the boat deck. A feeble flicker of green from an emergency battery set showed a fair-haired child riding high above the others, perhaps on the shoulders of his father. And in the grim, sickly light that turned living people into green corpses, the swarming passengers seemed like strange troglodytes from a place even more horrible than world at war.
 h the darkness again, away from the green light, Mary could hear the sober voices of the im- perturbable crew calling direc- tions. offering assistance, and best of all, encouragement.
 "Only one more flight she heard the crisp voice of a stew ardess. There's a place for every one in the Nfeboats."
 Their orderliness was in strange contrast to all else to the cries of distress, to the plaints and lam- entations and voiced mitigation But one cry, above all others, would sound in her ears until the day<of her death, Mary knew.
 My ~babay, oh my baby!" she heard, and shuddered. T must find my baby
 T must find Anna Winters she was reminded anew. She'll be frightened and alone. l have her hfebelt."
 On the boat deck, the confusion of the stairway was prelude to the terrifying chaos of the fevered scene. Sailors, stripped to the waist sweated in the icy wind as they obeyed megaphoned directions from the captain, relayed through their officers.
 Life saving station Al, launch your boat!"
 Fourth watch, count your pas sengersl"
 And through 1t all the creak and groan of winches protested as life- boats swung from their davits and, suspended for time in midair,

JAPANESE control of Manchu- ' kuo is not recognized in the nap of China which forms the design of the Chinese stamp, above, one of four values con- memorating the l50th anniversary of the U. s.

Boys Club Notes

Robin Roberts captured the junior class archery shoot yesterday when he compiled five more points than his nearest rival, DeAntonio, and seven more than Bill Behr who placed third in the group of 30 shooters. The next tournament will be held next Tuesday aftenoonr dur ing the regular junior class period. At this time 8 portion of the gym period will also be devoted to fencing instruction.
 The Cub gymnasium class this afternoon will be devoted to gym nastic games and exercises. The Midget class tomorrow afternoon will drill on boxing and wrestling technique and also be active in com- petition in these sports in prepara- tion for the open house tournament in both these sports next month.
 Jerry Caulfield has stepped out to @ sizeable lead in the intermediate scoring race while Joe Runividge has once again tossed himself into the scoring lead in the senior house league. The senior league race has heightened up considerably lately and the Pond Aces, for example, a certain bet to win all season, will have to go at top speed to defeat the lowly Acme quintet when they get together in the first game Fri day night. The Warriors -Princetons game should be very close while the final game of the evening between the Tigers and the Gophers will not be an easy one for the Tigers if the Gophers show up at full strength. Working hours have crippled the Gopher team all season. The Bomb CTS will remain idle this week due to the decision to withdraw on the part of the Post Office team due to irregular working hours.
