motor rumbled steadily, blowing pow
erfully into the drifts. Presently
Monks voice broke the silence in the
cab: Mother car stuck ahead of us. "
Tomnie nodded with sigh. He'd
seen the car, a small coupe, outlined
in the transports lights against the
snow. The coupe's lights were on, but
the lack of vapor at the exhaust sug-
gested the motor might be dead.
Tommie pulled up and stopped.
Monk got out stiftly, flinching as the
wind hit his face. He waded over to the
car and opened the door. For mo-
ment he talked with someone inside,
then turned back to the truck. Its
the Dodge Center teacher" he said,
with three of the kids. Ignition died
on 'em an they're about froze."
"The teacherI Tommie stared at
the coupe with a sinking heart. This
meant more time lost. What, for the
love of Pete, is she dom out here?
Well, get 'em into the cab! We can't
leave 'em along the road"
Monk waded back to the car and
Tommie arranged the blankets in the
bunk built back of the seat. There was
room in it for all three kids, and they'd
be snug and warm. In few moments
the coupe's passengers had been trans
ferred. The teacher, middle-aged
woman with frightened face, ex-
planned the situation as Tommie
tucked the kids in.
DIE was Miss Hatch, a native of
Oklahoma, and this was her first win
ter in the north. THE east bus took all
but the Miller children" she told
them, but the other bus failed to
come at all. The children were anxious
to get home. thought I'd be able to
take them home in my car"
Monk grunted. "You don't know
much about Iowa blizzards, lady.
Where do the kids live?"
About three miles west of the next
corner. Do you think you could get
them home?"
Not a chancel You couldn't move
a wheel off the main road. About the
only thing" - he glanced at Tommie
rs to take 'em back to Crest City.
It's only twelve miles"
."Yeah?" said Tommie. He'd been
thinking. since he'd picked up the
Evening star., 1941-01-26

said.
Tommie laughed. He glanced at the
kids in the bunk. Two boys, about
eight and ten, and girl not more than
five. Hungry, kids?" he asked. The
boys grinned back at him while the
little girl stared in brown-eyed won
der. Tommie winked at her. Don't
worry, hon. we'll have you to supper
pretty soon!"
He turned back to his driving. They
were we'll into the timber now. For the
next fifteen minutes the big truck
rolled smoothly over the frozen road.
Then, on one steep little pitch. came
the first hint of trouble. Almost at the
top the tractor wheels lost footing.
Tommie eased the throttle, nursing
her carefully, until he had coaxed her
over the top. There he halted. "Sleet
under the snow" he said briefly. 1--WE
got to put on chains"
NloNK made no comment. He got
out and helped Tommie with the
heavy equipment for the tractor
wheels. 1t was a mean job, there in the
dark. Tommie's cheeks and nose were
nipping before they were able to re-
turn to the warmth of the cab.
The teacher, Miss Hatch, looked at
him anxiously. ut must be frightfully
cold! Will we have any more trouble,
do you think?"
Shouldn't have" Tommie said con-
fidently.
His confidence faded bit, though,
when they reached the next grade.
The transport took the first part OF the
hill in her stride, hardly Stacking as
Tommie slipped her into second, but
trouble came when he dropped her
into low. The truck slowed down, even
as the power was applied. 1t came al
most to a stop, the rear wheels still
turning, then gave lunge, followed
by another, until the entire transport
shuddered and vibrated from the
strain. Slowly, inch by inch, it worked
forward At last it topped the grade.
Monk glanced at Tommie as the
transport dropped over the hump and
began to pick up speed on the down
slope. "The big hills just ahead" he
said quietly,

better than he'd hoped. The timber
had shut off the wind and the ten-inch
snow lay thick over the narrow road
leading from the highway. He remem-
bered thankfully that there were no
bad hills on the cutoff except one long
winding pull which was about half
way through.
1t wasn't going to be bad. He turned
onto the byroad, the transports
wheels cutting easily through the loose
snow.
Tommie grinned at Monk. What
do you say now?" he challenged.
Evening star., 1941-01-26

Poor dirt road - an no travel!'
THE dirt'll be froze harder than
Kelsey's fist" Tommie argued. There
won't be any drifts in the timber,
either. 1t ought to be easy wheelin'."
"Uh-huh," Monk said slowly. "An'

again. You're takin' chances with

manded. Suppose we do get stuck.

SoqIe Pitcher
MuffIes Libby Bots

The opening ball game of the year
at Recreation Park last Sunday end
ed dismally for the local club as
Sagle, Idaho, hammered Libby for
a 4 to 2 win. 1t was plainly case
of too much pitching as Turnbull,
Sagles ace, struck out 13, walked
only |, and kept Libby's nine hits
well scattered with the exception
of the 4th inning when they counted
their two TALES. The Libby team,
obviously suffering from the lack OF
practice. wobbled defensively IN the
first three innings but Manager
Cormier shook up the infieid, called
upon Fireman Brad Philips ana
from there on ii was fine exhibl-
ton. Phillips performed a very cred
liable job on the mound, allowing
only two hits and one run through
out the final six stanzas.
A great deal of credit should be
given to those members OF the team
who appointed themselves ground
keepers and worked their hearts
out Saturday in getting the held
in shape. Their efforts were not IN
vain and the infield was very
smooth and fast.
OF the local fans, only a small
crowd attended the game although
many sat in cars outside the fence,
thoughtlessly neglecting to be ad-
mitted at the nominal charge. We

 It was during the night and a heavy sea was running when the torpedo from that I. boat struck. Only two lifeboats got away. The captain commanded No. 2 boat, able seaman Light had No. 4.
 The real drama took place in able seaman Lights boat. He kept alog which begins:

 Then begins the cruise of boat Number 4. Sidney Light didn't know that the only other boat that got away safely was Num- Der 2, commanded by the captain. Nor did the captain know about boat Number 4.
 All that night the men bailed and rowed: just hard enough to keep heading into the swells. The heavy seas subsided the next morning and they stepped the mast and set sail.
 Ships were sighted but they al- ways passed by. Day blended into night and night into day and from the twelfth to he twenty y-second the Log of Number 4 Boat, s. H. Light, A. B., in Charge" reads:
