Museum Gets lifeboaf
Of Modern Saga Of Seas

MYSTIC, Conn, May 10.-The
lifeboat in which two near-dead
survivors of a shelled British mer-
chant ship arrived in the Bahamas
last October after a 7l-day, 5000
mile voyage, has arrived for ex-
hibit here in the Marine Historical
Museum.
In what has been called lone of
the most amazing and hazardous
saga.s of the sea-" the British sea-
men. Robert Tappscott and Roy
Widdicombe, began their nightmare
of a journey last August 81 when
the Steamship Anglo Saxon was
sunk by German raider 500 miles
southwest of the Azores. Seven
men, including Tappscott and Wild
dicombe, managed to get away in
one of the ships lifeboats. One
after another of the boats crew
succumbed either to their wounds
or to the madness induced by the
burning sun, fierce storms and the
lack of food and water.
The boat bears the notches which
Tappscott and Widdicombe carved
into it day by day In an attempt to
keep a record of the passing time.
The boat was auctioned off and
bought by Lady Oakes who sent
it to the museum.

Early and Late Dudes
Find Lower Rates

CHEYENNE, Wyo. May 10.-Two
special inducements are offered early
and late visitors to Rocky Mountain
dude ranches. according to those in
the know. They are: An oppor.
tunity to participate in the fasci-
mating activities of the roundup and
attractively lower rates.
One of the great institutions OF
the West is the roundup, which
occurs in the spring or early sum-
mer and the fall. Then the visitor
is able to see the roping and riding
activities of the West as they are
still carried on today. On many
ranches he may, if he wishes,
even participate in some of these
chores In any event, he sees the
ranch country at its busiest and most
interesting period.
The fall roundup is the grand op-
portunity for the dude" who wants
to ride the high country with the
COW hands, eat from the chuck
wagon, hear tall tales around the
campfire and sleep out under the
stars.
Because many people, especially
those with children in school, can
not come West except during July
and August. nearly all dude ranches
rate these two seasons as the finest
in the mountain country.

she said with apparent good humor.
That good humor was soon dis

weed-tangled walk she snagged her
hose and she soiled clean white
gloves on porch pillar.
Impossible, Says Cynthia.
The door stuck and it was some
time before Court could force it

You could sell the farm for enough
to keep Lucy in school for three or
four years. Dad said it had lots of
timber on it, and stone quarry that
might be opened again. You could
get quite lot out of it, or at least
enough"
He wrenched the. door open at
last, and he and Cynthia stepped
gingerly over the threshold, Lucy at
their heels. Everything was covered
with dust, but the sight of the
familiar room brought hundreds of
memories rushing back to Court,
things he hadn't thought of in ages.
See" Cynthia pointed out, "it's
quite impossible"
Not when it's cleaned out" Court
said.
Even the furniture's impossible,
so old-fashioned, quaint"
II sort of like it," he answered
stubbornly. That was my grand
mothers favorite chair" He pointed
to a low rocker near the fireplace.
And you ought to see Grapdpa
Dollover's bed" He moved toward
a door at the right of the fireplace.
Its WOW, if I remember rightly.
The headboard is carved and goes
clear to the ceilingi'
"All right, Court" Cynthia said.
She turned toward the door. pulling
her skirts about her. "If you're
bound to go through with it," She
shrugged. Shall I tell father you're
thinking over his proposition?"
IF YOU like. Cynthia" Court an
swered. He watched as she picked
her way down the overgrown walk
to the road Thanks for bringing
us out" he shouted as she got into
the car. She didn't look back. He
knew she was very angry.
Lucy Is Happy.
Lucy, who had gone outside again
a few moments earlier, came running
in again with a bunch of pink roses.
Look, Courtney" she scramed
Roses! Scads OF them! In the back
by the porch
Yes, I remember" Court said
He tugged at blind and it let loose
and few to the top of the window
with terrific clatter and a smother
ing furry of dust. The flood of SUM-
light flowing into the room now
only heightened the shabbiness Of it.
Court had a sense of letdown.
He walked back out of doors, sank
down on the edge of the front porch.

Lucy followed him, her eyes regard
ing him anxiously.
She, too, sat down and squinted
up at him, wrinkling her freckled
nose. Whats the matter Court
ney," she piped, don't you like it
here?"
NO." he said. do you?"
Oh, yesi" Her answer was elo-
quent. IT think it's beautiful.
There's an orchard in the back. And
in vine on the back porch there's
a birds nest with some little speck-
led eggs in it,"
Wren probably. One used to nest
there" Court said, indifferently.
In a distant field a tractor made
a continual moaning progress.
I'm hungry, Courtney" Lucy
said suddenly. She blinked at him.
"Hungry?" he exclaimed. I'VE
just had breakfast"
"It's almost noon. The suns
straight up" Lucy pointed out.
He looked at his watch. 1t was
II exactly. A feeling of helpless
ness surged through him. He
hadn't thought Of food, or how the
house could be cleaned. He hadn't
thought of a hundred things. Now
they were here, he and Lucy, with
no one to depend upon but them
selves. And he was as Intellectual
as Lucy. Perhaps more so. And
he, too, was hungry.
A Surprise for Court.
"Come on" he told Lucy, "weIl
look up the fellow driving that
tractor, see if he can tell us where
we can get some groceries, some
thing we won't have to cook"
1t was all Lucy could do to keep
up with him, as they made their
way across the meadow choked
with wild growths of blackberry
bushes and red haw thickets to the
open field where the tractor was
working.
The field was planted with corn,
and the new green shoots were 5
or 6 inches high. A youth was
cultivating with the tractor. AS he
drew near, at Courts hail, he
brought the tractor to a stop. The
cessation of the machines roar
made it seem impossibly quiet.
Court and Lucy made their way
across the soft ground, stepping
carefully over the little plots of
corn. Say" Court began, as he
drew close He looked up at the boy
on the tractor.
"Oh, it's you," Mary Crews said
She took off the broad -brimmed
straw hat and let her hair come
tumbling out. And you too, Lucy"
she added in friendlier tone.
Lucy giggled. Courtney thought
you were boy"
Court was still gaping with
astonishment. I'D no idea: that is,
I took it for granted-isnt it rather
unusual for girl to operate one of
those things?"
She swung down lightly, the sun
glinting on her fair hair until it
fairly shone. Her blue eyes gazed
straight into his. There's no one
else to operate it. unless we hire
some one, and that isn't necessary,

because you see I'm not afraid Of
losing my dignity by working"
Invited to Lunch.
Court smiled rather stifdy at the
implication in her words.
Il noticed by the paper this
morning that you-"
He didn't let her finish. Noble
Of me, wasn't it?" he lashed out,
his lip curling.
Lucy was eyeing them both un-
easily. Courtney and I were going
to see If you knew where we could
buy some groceries" she put In.
Groceries? Did you come on q
picnic without your lunch?"
NO" Lucy explained. 1--WE came
out here to live without any gro
ceries because we forgot EN-"
You're going to live on the
farm?"
That's right" Court said. His
face was hard and unfriendly.
She wished he wouldn't look at
her in just that way. Perhaps she
had been rude. 1t was just that
she didn't want him to guess what
a wonderful feeling 1t had given her
to know that he was going to face
things out, after all, and what a
beautiful surprise it had been to
see him again. well, come along"
she said. Its time for me to stop
anyway. Mother1l fix a couple of
extra plates. 1t won't be a bit Of
bother"
I'VE couldn't do that" Court pro-
tested.
Lucy tugged at his hand. I'm
awful hungry, Courtney" she said
He couldn't help laughing. Nor
could Mary Crews.

doesn't seem to be much choice"
He helped their hostess pack
Lucy's things. Just before they were
ready to leave he had phone call
from Cynthia. Darling" she cried,
every ones excited about what you
did last night. Have you read the
morning papers?"

What was there to discuss now.
he wondered cynically.
1t seemed that when Mr.. Carter
read the glowing tribute in the paper
to the way Courtney Dollover was
making sure every one got the
money back they had invested in
the firm, an idea had struck him.
You see," Cynthia explained,
father says you'll be awfully popu-
lar with the man on the street and
he thinks you'd do his company a
lot of good that way"
Il see" Court said. The things
Mr.. Carter had said only last night
were scared into his brain. IN

Cynthia Relents.
Cynthia sent him an odd look.
"You didn't take too seriously the
things I said last night, did you,
darling?"
How else could I take them,
Cynthia?"
She looked confused. What I
meant to imply last night was that
we ought both to feel free until you
know what you're going to do"
"Oh, I see" He knew he should
feel a lift of happiness because
Cynthia was trying to tell him. in
her way, that she still loved him.
But, somehow, he didn't. He didn't
know why.
He was aware of Lucy's big eyes
looking from one to the other of
them questioningly.
Just up over the hill" Lucy
squealed, land we'll be therei"
Cynthia suppressed shudder as
they came in sight of the house.

You know you wouldn't want
your friends to see you living in a

said.

he said coolly, without looking at
her.

Montreal's Food
Is Enhanced by
French Atmosphere
Even American Hot Dod
Is Given Collie Zest
In Canadian City

MONTREAL, May 10.-In a city
where more than three-quarters of
the inhabitants use the French
language as mother tongue, an in
heritance from the original settlers
and eolonizers, it might we'll be ex-
pected that other legacies of Old
France would be cherished. The in
quiring visitor will find that this is
SO and particularly in matters re-
lating to the kitchen.
French cuisine is paramount in
Montreal with the result that travel
ers will find numerous appeals to
their gustatory tastes presented in
Old Country terms. Many are truly
Gallo in surroundings, as shown by
the generous display of gaily- -colored
napery, the prodigal variety of sauces
and a generous use Of wine in cook
ing.
The traveller could begin with a
meal at "Au Lutin Qui Bouffe." This
translates into The Goblin Who
Laughs" a pleasant goblin indeed.
Then there is "Au Pierrot Gourmet" t"
literally meaning clown who is an
epicure, and really suggesting a
place for jovial playboys who are
also particular in their choice of
food.
Scent of Fine Wines.
eau Fumets de la Vieille France"
will be found in one of the principal
thoroughfares. The name implies
that in this establishment will be
found the flavor and the bouquet
of ancient France, the particular
reference being to the scent of fine
wines. AUX DeGces" conveys the
same idea in different terms. Liter
ally it means a place of delights,
offering high degree Of pleasure in
the luXuries of the table.
"Au Goute Chatelain" carries the
impression that the guest who sits
down to table may be assured of
the best choice of the lady of the
catsle, something worthy of relish.
"Au VieuX Rouet" is the old spin
ming wheel and "Au Carlton dor"
AAtNoAio oo VIC olSAA Va Vic SOlucll
chimes.
Visitors to Montreal will find nu-
merous restaurant signs with the
word chez" followed by a given or
Il family name At the top of the
list is the "Auberge Chez Son Pere."
Chez is the home, or the place of,
and that title may be translated as
The Inn at His Fathers House"
There is wide range of restaurants
dubbed chez" and under that name
will be found many excellent eating
places.
Hot Dogs in French.
Even the American hot dog has
succumbed to French nomenclature
and as often as not searchers for the
weiner sheltered in a split bun, will
find it designated as "chien
chaud." There are establishments
which promise to serve the "chien"
in superior manner and accordingly
have put up rather grandiose signs
such as "Au Cog du Chen Chaud,"
which might be a strutting hot dog,
a veritable cock of the walk. There
are also La Roi du Chen Chaud,"
La Refine du Chen Chaud," and
the "Palais du Chen Chaud," repre-
senting the King, the Queen and the
palace of the weiner.
Despite the use of French by the
greater part of Montreal's inhabi-
tants and the thousands of signs in
that language. Montreal is bilingual
