The gold-braided officers rose
as a group of weather-beaten
shippers, many fidgeting in un-
accustomed starched collars and
wearing shiny blue serge suits
entered the board room. Shyly
they took the places offered
them, and you could sense the
common bond between these
humble rulers of the plodding
freighters and the neatly
groomed commanders of the
sleek warships. They were CO.
operating factors in keeping the
Atlantic lifeline open.
The shippers to whom adven-
ture had long since become rou-
tine found supreme satisfaction
in every cargo delivered. The
naval officers, they knew, stood
ready to die in their defense. A
lieutenant commander called

and, as he did so, each Master
replied AYE, aye, Sir"
Four mimeographed sheets
were passed to each man in the
room. They carried the names
of the vessels, the time sched-

time gap that would result if
any ship failed to follow its
preceding ship sharp on the

Across the expanse of mahog-
