back aboard ship Sunday, just two days after arriving.
 He hadn't wanted to make this last trip back to England anyway, he said. There in New York, he and the rest of the enginerooin crew had decided to jump ship. They were in Brooklyn bar drink ing and putting nickels in the tuke box when e vote was taken. They voted to jump ship that night with two of them deciding to go out west. But, like every other time they had taken the same kind of & vote the night before Q sailing, when 1t came the dawn they were all clambering back aboard ship, the vote and de- gertion forgotten.
 SAILORS PLACE IS
 WITH HIS sIiIW
 It really wasn't drink that made them give Up the idea of excfalg- ing the dry land Of 6 neutral coun- try for q ship that had e good chance of not reaching England. Nor was 1t patriotism, particularly. It was just the uneasy feeling that a sailors place Is with his ship. It always got more pronounced aS the evening wore oil.
 That's what Prank Clyde said. He said, too, that the morning they boarded the Port Prince and 1t be- gan to back from its berth in New York harbor, he suddenly felt ifn- prisoned, as if he were already thousands of miles away in the war zone. Yet there was the Manhattan sky line slipping by ag the Port Prince, with decks above laden with Rudson bombers and trucks and holds below crowded with guns, shells, powder, food and medical equipment, moved down the East River.
 The Port Prince picked up the convoy. Eighty-three ships in all 1t totaled. The days were bright and the nights were clear, and as the beautifully-ugly boats plowed de- treminly along nothing seemed more remote than war and the death which patroled beneath the waves in that broad ocean expanse.
 Down in the engineroom Frank Clyde wiped sweat, and grease from c pressure gauge from his face. He felt the heat because he had just come down from the deck above.

yoy xge. Danger was never com- pletely er-shadowed on that At~ lantic crossing. But no seaman talks about danger while making the crossing to England. So 1t was his wife, Helen, whom Frank talked about. ze-4t. HIS TOPIC or CONVERSATION That was his topic of conversa- ton and it was the topic of most other men aboard ship. They all talked about those coming days at home with the wife they hadn't seen in 0 long time, because on . boat in mid.oceafa you can't spend the hours on and o6 watch just kicking the weather around.
 And down in on engineroom 0 wife and home is Q good thing to talk about, because you then soffie- times forget that when . torpedo strikes axnidships, or c one- ton bomb lands dead in the center of c cargo of high explosives, the man deep in the engineroom does not have e chance.
 And now, after two trips across, the Port Prince sails again in two days. The reason Is good, of course, In Liverpool and Bristol and the other Western ports, the longer 0 boat remains In port the greater the chance of being sunk at anchor. For the Germans are persistent and they are always coming over these nights to blitS the centers of sea- port towns and their docks, and if cargo ships are being unloaded they are sometimes sent to the river bot tom during the hours when high ex- plosive and incendiary bombs are destroying the wharf sheds and docks. ,,g
 THE LONG
 VOYAGE HOME
 This Frank Clyde could see. But he says its sure tough to put out to sea with only two days import. And you can see what he means, too. For on the next voyage and the next and possibly the one fater that, if the Port Prince is still afloat, 1t means that Frank Clyde dries up as Q conversationalist. The current drive to keep each merchant ship contantly on the move with barely Q stopover in the British port.of-delivery Is robbing him of his pet topic of conversation Weather9 Dangere Those are minute. It is the thought of his wife at home which gives him something to talk about and passes the time during those days and nights on the long voyage home.
