about that as long as he did his job. But one
morning l went on deck and found the sdelights
outside his door It's the custom for the last night
watch to take the lanterns from where they'd been
burning in the shrouds and leave EN- outside the
carpenters door for him to clean and put them
away until the next night
There was slight sea, enough to send few
inches of water over the deck and there was risk
of smashing those lamps. l sang out to the second
mate to find the carpenter and tell him to put the
lights away But he wasn't to be found. We
searched the ship from stem to stern, but no sign
of Chips. There had been sea during the night
and he couldn't have been washed overheard.
There was only one answer he must have COM
. mtted suicide. No knew a damned thing
about him, and he hadn't left enough kit to fill
candy poke. Nothing to tell who he was or where
he came from-he was just gone.
That put gloom over the ship.-Sailors are
superstitious people and they went about their
work in sort of daze. peeping over their shoulders
as if they expected the ghost of the carpenter to
tap EN- on the back Well, gave EN- rum rations
for a few days, that they got extra good food
and in week they forgot it
But just we were going strong hurricane

The wind jumped from nothing to gale force in
half an hour and were for it.

up the ratnes like monkeys, one hand for them

his hands torn from the jack-stay and before he
could hit the deck mighty comber boarded us,
he caught in it and washed overheard. There
was no chance to save him. Couldn't lower
boat in them seas and if I'd tried to wear the ship
she'd have foundered with all hands. We had to
let him go.
1t wasn't two minutes later than another
struck us and another man went over. He had on
yellow souwester. and I him in the water
Then one of the strangest things l ever saw took
place A great albatross came wheeling down
out of the sky and pecked at him while he floated.
He sank in second and that mighty bird beat

the yellow oilskin something to eat. The sail
ors it too and they began to mutter about an
unlueky ship; it did look as if we were jinxed

BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent)

means there must be a lot of jockeys. And jockeys aren't made overnight.
 The old-timer paused, and seemed to read in his listeners expressions that he was condemning Dew as a rider. He was quick to correct this.
 Not that Earl wasn't good rider. He was. A fine one. But he wasn't any Johnny-come-T Tuesday, either. He had been riding since he was B. It wasn't his fault his horse went down. But there is many boy wearing silks today who doesn't know anything about riding horse, much less about keeping out of jams, or, more important, getting out of a jam when he gets into one. see races all the time-all over the country-where the riding is so foolhardy and so bad that I almost have to shut my eyes. It scareS you to death, that sort of riding, when you have been through the mill and know the dangers that are out there on the track, even for the best of riders"
 The green hand, the unSure rider, is a menace not only to himself but menace to every other jockey in the race, the oldtimer pointed out.
 Protection
 "In the old days, we used to yell to one another when we saw jam coming up. And we knew enough to protect ourselves and the fellow who was headed for trouble. But now lot of the kids just climb aboard horse, shut their eyes, and pray. And there are ten thousand and one things that can happen to you when you're rolling along on a racing horse. And ten thousand and one worse things that can happen if you go of the horse. Let's just hope the Lord keeps holding on to their reins."
 If the timer is right = and ne does make sense, doesn't he?-what is the solution? Just as there are only SO many concert pianiSts. SC there are only a limited number o1 boys skilled in the ways of riding thoroughbred. Still with racing ex- banding all the tmie, there is 8 growing demand for more and more jockeys. There can't be racing with out them. There cannot-according to some-be safe adn sane racing with youngsters who make the jump from exercise boy to jockey almost overnight. It's a problem for wiser head than mine.
