U.S.. 0. Funds 10 Paw
Their Best Dividends
In Lonely Iceland
Homesickness of Troops
Finds Expression in
Porophrosed Song
Fifteenth OF a Series.)
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.


REYKJAVIK, Iceland. - Iceland
will be a lonely place for American
troops this winter.
Probably in no other station do
the efforts of the U. S. Q. to pro-
vide clean, healthy amusement for
the enlisted men promise greater
dividends, because inconsistencies Is
bound to rise.
1t already is in evidence, although
the chances are that it will dimin-
ish as the men become more ad-
iusted to their surroundings. 1t
has been kept down thus far by a
lot of hard work.
This was one of the chief diff
cultieS of the British who spent last
winter in Iceland. A man sent to
England on leave was very likely
not to return, preferring his home
land with all the constant danger OF
air raids.
Iceland is a place ideally adapted
to breed melancholy in any one who
ever has known taste OF the bright
lights.
The men now here are expert
enced, well disciplined troopers. But
thev yearn for trees, sunshine and
things American.
The feeling is expressed in this
paraphraSe of the artillery song:
Over sea, over foam,
WISH to hell that We were nome,
But the transports go sailing along.
In and out, near and far,
Wonder where the hell we are,
As the transports go sailing along,
So it's hi no, hum, Iceland here we
come,
Or maybe the Azores or Dakar.
But wher'ere it be, We'll get no
- liberty
AS the transports go sailing along.
List to starboard, list to port,
This trip is anything but short,
AS the transports go sailing along.
Hate to wash, hate to shave,
With salt water I must bathe,
AS the transports go sailing along.
So it's hi, hi, hail, we cannot send
out mail,
Our Sweethearts will sell us for
song,
Think we're sinners on a spree
Stead of lost out here at sea
AS the transports go sailing along.
Sleep above, sleep below,
From tropic seas to arctic snow,
AS those transports go sailing along.
Go ships wrong" then ships right"
''Darken ship, you; "Douse that
light"
Keep those transports a-sailing
along.
So it's he, he, hi, so seasick I could
die;
Oh, why must this damn ship amble
on?
Should 7 ever land, then on the
beach I'll stand
And watch the transports go sailing
along.
Spars and struts, Niessen huts,
Scheming non-ComS drive us nuts,
Since the transports went sailing
back home.
Air raid yellow, air raid red
Make us dizzy in the head
Since the transports went sailing
back home.
So it's hi-ho-hum, 10 kroner for
some rum
That is, if you can find a single bar
Oh, hi, diddle-diddle, the king and
his fiddle
And those transports to take us
back home.

BOB LANDS SAFELY
CHAPTER XIX

In the village OF bIalr, Arlz.,
Carolyn and her rescuer found
one light burning. It was in .
large house that seemed to be .
combined residence and store.
An efficient-looking woman in
night robe answered immediate
ly when Carolyn ran to the door
and knocked.
hello! Have you q tele-
phone? May I please call for
help. II I can just telephone
Boulder Dam, might"
"Come in, honey" The wom-
an interrupted Carolyn's frantic
talk, appraised her quickly.
Look here, honey, is your name
Tyler, and did you drop outen a
airplane?"
Eyes! OH"
well, I'm that glad it's you!
They've been already phoning
about you. They's men out al
ready on a search. Now amt
this just dandy!
"Come in, child. You look be-
draggled. Amt you cold?
They've already phoned about
you from Boulder. I expect it's
been on the radio, too.
Law, I expect they're a-tear-
ing around every whichaway,
for one as young and sweet as
you! Now you just phone EN-
right back now as quick rs you
can, and I'll get you something
warm and dry!"
The good woman, not one to
be overly excited, was plainly
excited. Carolyn grabbed her.
what about Bob? DR.. Hale?
Tell me! He must be safe or
nobody would know where L
is he? Who called?"
Honey, set down . minute!
He's safe. Him and the man
flying him both Is safe. 1t was q
Mr.. Hale that called me. He
said"
That was ell Carolyn needed.
She called Boulder Dam-sp&-
officially. Boulder City, New, the
town near the great dam. The
operator there couldn't get Bob
for her at the moment but did
get the local airport, and the
field official told her that Bob
and the plane had come In safe
ly.
Bob was about cr1ky, the Off
cial admitted, worrying about
her, and he would get word %
Bob 1T once and call off the
search. He talked some more,
but Carolyn didn't hear Il. II
the kindly woman here hadn't
come quickly. Carolyn would
have slipped right down 10 The
floor.
