FORESIGHT. had heard of Captain
George Fried for a good many years
before met him. A school friend of
mine sailed under him in some obscure
freighter with a Dutch name. I'VE
never got torpedoed," said my friend
after the war, because Fried would
begin to watch for submarines in
Hcboken. He took his job seriously"
Then Fried, commanding the Roose-
welt, made his famous rescue of the
crew of the Antinoe, British freighter.
When met George Fried asked him,
first. how he found the Antinoe, when
no other ships could find her. And how,
having lost her in snow squall, he
found her again.
I'D been planning that rescue for
thirty years. he said.
IMPOSSIBLE. Nobody would have
blamed me if hadn't succeeded in TAX
ing those men off, said Fried. 1T was
an impossibility. didn't care whether
it was impossible or not l had to rescue
those men. But if hadn't been plan
ming to make rescue for twenty years
or 50, it might have been impossible"
A rescue at sea, he went on to ex-
plain, means careful training of the
boat crews in port. 1t means constant
inspection of the crews and the boats
themselves, constant overhauling of
the gear" to be sure everything is
ready for the emergency. This in addi-
ton to the thousand and one daily
responsibilities of ships captain.
l was deeply impressed. All those
lives had been saved because Captain
Fried had been ready, not only then,
but for years beforehand.
Twas a reserve officer at the time -
and was thinking of dropping my
commission. But l remembered what
Fried had said: 1T is no time to start
training boat crew when sinking
shipheaves out of the snow to leeward."'
MAxlMS. So kept on with my peace
time training. The call to duty this
year found me assigned to a battalion
of the Armored Force. And Fried's
maxims of the sea - many more have
been handed out to me in meetings
since the first one - are now of ines
Unable value. The tanks in my bat
talon are being trained in the Fried
principles, 50 that if the emergency
comes today, or tomorrow, we'll all be
ready. -LsoNARD n. MASON

JEWELS. Diamond cutters and dia-
mond merchants have fled to America
from Holland and Belgium since the
Nazi invasion, and with them have
come immense quantities of precious
stones. But America is not yet the
jewel capital of the world. That honor,
we are informed by Mr.. Francis Tay-
lor, Director of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, still belongs to India -
and Indian princes are still the chief
purchasers of precious stones.

Jesuit priests. Forbidden to carry silk
worms out of China. they hid the
worms in hollow bamboo poles and
took them past the Chinese guards.

IT'S A FAMILY YOU CAN Join
by Homer CroY

You can see how foolish it was Mind you.
only ten years old. Well, that foolish boy
started in to draw every bird in America.
When he was older he worked his way up and
down this continent earning money by pick
ing berries, pitching hay, milking cows. He
went on fishing boat to the Georges Banks,
where he studied the whiteness of the polar
birds. He ioated down the Ohio River. He
went to Florida, waded the Everglades with
sketchbook
For years he kept at the job. And he didn't
just paint bird now and then, when he felt
in the mood; he painted all the time One day
when he was thirty-three he started to
arrange his precious drawings And now that
he was older and more mature, he was
shocked at how poor his early drawings were.
There they were! They we're the total of his
life's work so far. But they were poor. So
then and there he tore them up!
he STARTED in again, worked eight years,
examined his drawings again - and tore
them up!
He was forty-one years old. And there were
more than 100 kinds of birds in America for
him to paint. If he had been man of less
character and determination he would have
given in. But he didn't give in. He kept right
on.
He became famous; people beat path to
his birdtrap at Kent, Connecticut. And there
he is now, seventy-two years old and going
strong. That determined statement Rex
Brasher made that long g-ago day in Brooklyn
has caused him to out-Audubon Audubon. He
is considered by some to be the greatest living
authority on birds.
His work has become so famous that the
State of Connecticut has reported bill out of
committee to buy 874 of his drawings to be
preserved for all time And how much do you
suppose those paintings are valued at? Quite
a bunch of money A quarter of million
dollars.
For sixty years he pursued his dream.
Nothing could stop him. Poverty tapped him
on the shoulder but he had set out to accom-
plish something and he would not be pushed
off the path. And now that path he has been
travelling 80 long has opened out into a fine.
great vista.

- One day popped up on Wyoming
ranch. 1t seems the cowboys were having the
big fall roundup, were trying to get the cattle
to a corral for the winter There was one steer
they couldn't get to the corral They would
ease him into the herd and start for the
corral, but the steer would break back. He
was bad medicine. Second offender, too That
is, they hadn't been able to get him up the
winter before and now he had the same idea;
he simply wasn't going to that corral, come
what might.
1t came.
One of the cowboys did some thinking. He
explained the idea to the other cowboys and
they liked it. They took burro that had
been living at the corral. You should have
seen him: small, inoonsequentfal, shaggy.
They roped the steer and tied the steer to the
buTo, loose enough to cause no great incon-
venience, and yet tight enough to keep the
two teamed up solid. There they stood: the
big, raw-boned. eleven n-hundred-pound steer
and the little, sleepy, none too-bright burro.
You ought to have seen what happened.
Immediately after the cowboys loosed the
rope from the steers legs, he leaped into the
air; that is, as far as he could 60. When he
came down he ran here and there with this
parcel of stubbornness hanging to him. He
kicked, bucked, beloved After time, the
steer paused to get his breath. While he was
getting it. the burro took step in the direc-
ton of the corral, where he knew he could get
food and rest. The steer gave in that much.
After all, what difference did few inches
make?
After he got his breath, the steer gave
another jump. While he was getting the crimp
out of his knees, after he came down, the
buro took another step in the direction of the
corral.
DONE time later the steer showed up at the
corral in good condition - except for one
thing. His mind was in bewildered state. He
didn't know how it had happened. He had
given in just little here and little there.
never very much at one time. The thing the
steer didn't know was that when you get
hooked up with Persistence you've got to go
along.
One day, years ago. popped up in Brooklyn.
A father and his son were walking through
what is now Prospect Park. The two stopped
to examine bird, for birds were the fathers
hobby. He pointed out certain things about
the bird, its color, markings, and 50 on. The
boy was fascinated; new world was being
opened up for him. The father said. Its too
bad there is no book covering all the birds of
America. Even John James Audubon's book
lists only four hundred and thirty-fve spe-
cies."
How many are there?" the lad asked.

Pillars of Gold
By Lucille Selk Edgerton. A

By Lucille Selk Edgerton. Al
fred A. Knopt, Ne,U York.
This romance of the Arizona gold
rush in the 1905 is Mrs. Edgerton's S
first novel, although she has written
a number of short stories for Lib
erty and This Week magazines. 1t
is the story of young, apparently
good -for-nothing prospector who
has never found his mine. and who
is given a year by the woman he
loves to make good. His struggle for
success carries him across the hot
desert sands TO the yellow Colorado.
where he eventually finds a rich
mine. escapes the love of a Mexican
beauty and the vengeance of Con-
federate soldier, and breaks the
transportation monopoly of the
river controlled by his cousin-also
a suitor for his sweetheart.
If there is q major criticism Of
Mrs. Edgerton'S novel it is that she
has described her characters too
fully instead of permitting them to
reveal themselves through their
conversation. The effect is thus
more like witnessing silent movie
thriller than becoming part of the
great moving drama as it progresses.
The writer made use of notes and
studies of the Colorado River made
by her husband, and her deScrip-
tions of the mighty waterway are
realistic and probably authoritative.
The book is fairly good reading, if
not a firSt-rate novel.
