TRYING TO REMEMBER
CHAPTER III

Lieutenant Rollins heard little gasp of surprise but the shadow stopped with arms raising slowly.
 Please don't shoot" came a voice unmistakably feminine. q promise not to move an inch"
 A horrible sensation of having made a fool of himself swept over the officer. Az he rose, rather shamefacedly, from his awkward position on the stairs, he dreaded to see the girls face - could it be THE nurse?
 It was.
 Sorry to frighten you, Sister," he apologized, but it's very late
 That's all right" she replied curtly. T realize full- that 1t is after hours, but just couldn't sleep and thought few breaths of fresh air would help. You may report me and !"
 Rollins felt his face reckoning.
 "oh, now, just a minute ." He made a feeble attempt at showing his good-natured side. I'm not trying to get any charm- ing person such as yourself re- ported. I was merely trying to track down somebody flashing a light up here 7"
 The nurse seemed to freeze.
 "Oh that she gave a short forced laugh. T guess 1t was I. I tried stealing a puff of a cigaret, but even that Is evidently enough to bring you fellows dashing up fully armed"
 Rollins was nettled but he swallowed his pride. Taking her by the arm he guided her to the nearest door, opened 1t and waved her inside. She paused under dull red corridor light and looked at him Tn some surprise.
 Now what" she asked coldly?
 Nov have cigaretp Rollins smiled, pushing forward a pack age.
 sho hesitated split second, then took one, He snapped his lighter, taking advantage of the raised flame to examine her feat ures. Yes, she was definitely pretty in a cultured sort of way.
 She coughed abruptly. Good heavens" she exclaimed looking at the cigaret, either the brand is awful or I'm catching cold. Good night"
 Later, lying in his bunk and gratefully slipping the Scotch and water his snoring roommate had left for him, Rollins was letting his mind drift through the hap pier side of the uncomfortable meeting. Suddenly, he sat bolt upright.
 It hadn't clicked in his befuddled mind at the moment but subcon- sciously 1t had registered -- In the flame of his lighter he had seen what an uncommonly large tip of

 He stirred uneasily, looked to- wards the sleeping Captain Tees as If deliberating whether to wake him and discuss the matter. He decided not to. After all, those light flashes - well, maybe she had tried smoking a cigaret. She had confessed to 1t = rather awkward ly, but Rollins shook his head. He had made Q fool of him. self once tonight. His irnagina- ton was playing tricks on him. But when he finally did drift off to sleep, it was a tossing, rest less sleep filled with odd dreams of a beautiful girl dressed in white and carrying a lighted can- dle. He was trying to reach her to extinguish the light, but shad- ows came between them.
 He awoke unrefreshed to find the throbbing noise increasingly evident but the troopship still at the dock.
 Steam was fully up and smoke R lied from the two tunnels. There @.s the unmistakable atmosphere of last-minute preparations, and the captains bridge was hive of activity.
 Thousands of soldiers were jam ming the starboard side which faced the actual water leading down to the sea. At regular in- tervals freighters were steaming by. Evidently huge mercantile convoy was leaving for some over- seas destination.
 About Il o'clock there was more excitement as three large sub- marines slid by at awash, their commanders standing on the open coming tower bridges. They moved without effort at about 12 knots, only a slight hum coming from the Diesels.
 A few minutes before noon the last of the merchantmen went by -an insignificant but sea-tough- ened trawler. Although painted over, the letters on the bow of the trawler were visible to the troops.
 "Ahoy, Loch Lomondl" some- body roared, and the troops burst into the gay Scottish tune. A window opened on the trawler's bridge and a ruddy face appeared, lips plainly moving in accompani- ment to the troops singing
 At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the troopships began to move, starting from the farthest inland dock. The bands of all units ap- peared on deck. There wasn't e man below. The air was crisp and clear and bright sunshine basked the dramatic scene.
 Tees and Rollins clapped one on the back enthusias. tically. "We're offl". yelled the T was beginning to think 1t would never happen to us"
 Tees smiled. "oh, I thought we'd sail all right, but who would have thought 1t would be like this :" He made a sweeping gesture. T expected to slip out in the dark ness with everything very hush hush. Instead, the bands are play Ing, the boys are yelling and sing ing their heads of. Just look over there!"
 TT g" was in the channel now. The men could see a long stretch of shore line thronged with peo- pie. Automobiles dotted the crowds. Flags, handkerchiefs and hands were waving. Hundreds of horns could be heard through the din. Overhead, R. o. A. F. flying boats circled lazily.
 Within a short time TT 9" was In sight of the anti-submarine de- fense stretched across the en- trance to the harbor. As the liner moved easily through the Gate" -an opening in the cable netting that pulled aside like a fence gate

 IN STAMPS
Cape Verde Islands Important to U. 5.

DANGEROUSLY close to Brazil
 are the Cape Verde Islands, a Portuguese Colony about 500 miles off the coast of Africa. These 10 islands are among those vital spots recently mentioned by President Roosevelt as places the Nazis must not be permitted to occupy as pos- sible bases for invasion against the Americas.
 The above stamp is part of a Portuguese colonial series, issued in 1888. It shows Vasco Da Cana, 18th century Portuguese naviga- tor and explorer.
 The Cape Verde Islands were discovered by Genoese navigators in 1441 and were annexed to- Portugal IS years later. The pop ulation of the islands is about, 150,000, with only a small minor ity of whites. The people are; largely self-supporting, and when drouths occasionally occur, famine stalks the islands.
 It is extremely important to Britain that the Cape Verde 1s- i, lands remain in neutral or sympa- thetic hands, since they stand prominently in the pathway of a 1 large portion of England's sea trade.
