doing with the canvas. Tommy felt helpless.
Despite his rage he was ashamed He had not
heard the orders, and now he tried to make
out the task in hand out of ten days expert
ence in fair weather and daylight.
Suddenly men vanished from beside him.
They slipped down and swung out of sight
Tommy could make out one man, onv, en-
gagged upon final item of the main task. He
shouted shamefaced query. shouted
answer. 1t was Jack Gale, whom Tommy had
hoped would become friendly. He summoned
all his courage
/ came up late" he cried above the
winds roar. You 60 on down! I'll finish,'
Jack wormed past him, slapped him in
friendly fashion on the shoulder, and dropped
from sight. Tommy was left alone aloft.
AT first it was not too bad He ground his
teeth together for courage, found one reef
point and essayed to knot it, He moved out
on the pitching yard The rage that filled him
made him daring He found another reef
point. And another. Then sudden lurch
of the ship tore him loose and it was only
by frenzied grab that he saved himself
from drop into the boiling dark sea.
He held fast by fimsy precarious grip
He could see absolutely nothing Ship, sky,
sea - even the yard to which he cung was
blotted out by the darkness and the stream

AN UNFoRGETTABLE SEA STORY
THE FOURTH MOMENT
by will F. jenkins
muaoted by ykoi

Tommy was dragged from his shelter
under the bulwarks Rain and spray beat
upon him. The mates voice again up with
you!'
Tommy stammered: But didn't know -
l didn't hear ="
Sudden lanc1ng pain swept over him. He
found himself flung against the bulwarks.
The mate said icily: mo excuses! Get aloft!"
Tommy found himself climbing aloft with
out clearly knowing how he began the ascent.
The mate had hit him: not in anger but cold
bloodedly, as one would strike an animal to
compel its obedience. Hatred rose in Tommy,
to compete with the terror of the unknown
task before him. As he ascended, the sway
lngs of the rigging became monstrous. The
wind grew fiercer. The pouring rain stung like
hail. The movements of the mast became
crazy and erratic. The shrouds by which he
climbed swooped fercely across an arc of
empty tumult. Then there was a sudden
savage check in the sweep, and Tommy had
to cling desperately to keep from being
thrown through screaming emptiness into the
dark water below
lie CAME to the foremasthead and climbed
furiously on. He reached the fore-topmast-
head. and there he found men busy where
billowlng, icy-wet canvas spilled rain in sheets
and solid Jumps. Wind screamed and whined
and howled - and then made curious COB
bling noises because of what the men were

age, more deadly, while the storm roared all
about him. Through his terror came cold,
embittered fury. He hated the mate who had
sent him aloft. And he had the sick, shamed
terror of lad who has found that he is not
capable of a task he has attempted, and on
which his life now depends.
He was not missed for almost an hour
Then Jack Gale came aloft, to see what had
happened. Jack and two others helped him
down. That was the first of the four moments.
Later he learned his work He performed
similar and even more difficult feats with
ease and aplomb. But the disgrace of having
to be helped down from aloft was corrosive
memory he could not lose. He got very drunk
on the hot sweet rum of Martinique to prove
his manhood, and in Rio he acquired tattoo
ings But he remained lad, and most of the
Bedford's crew looked on him as such. 1t
made for bitterness.
In THE end he fixed upon savage hatred
of the mate who had sent him aoft. 1t was
the mates doing that he was shamed Tommy
hated the mate with a fierce intensity, and
in thousand ways envisioned revenge for
his shame
The second of the four moments came
months later. The Bedford was then far out
in the Pacific, and Tommy was in his own
estimation a seasoned salt. He rowed in the
mates boat, and Jack Gale had become his
friend, which was an accolade. But all on
board still called him Tommy" considered
him lad.
The events that led to the second moment
that would stay always in Tommy's mind
were routine. Routine, that is, until the
whales last furry. They'd lowered from the
Bedford almost at sundown with two other
boats, and Tommy had pulled at his oar until
the veins stood out on his forehead and his
muscles knotted. He continued to pull until
a crimson film of exhaustion formed before,
his eyes, and he felt that his lungs would
burst Then there was spout close by, and
high drama on the seas as one harpoon and

Il Short Story Complete in This Issue
"HERE were four moments in the cruise of
the Bedford that remained with Tommy
= Holden forever afterward as high spots
not only in the voyage, but in his life.
One was a moment on the fore -topsail yard,
with half gale blowing and rain pouring out
of murky night when Tommy knew with
lads shamed terror that he was not capable
of the task he had attempted. One came much
later, when he struggled despairingly in un-
substantial sea and foam, and came to clear
air for one moment to see monstrous col
umn of black fish towering above him, with a
tail as big as flying jib, terrible against the
sky.
The third moment was not much later in
time. when the Bedford's mate stood grin
ming with pain on an unbelievable raft in
empty seas, with the dawnlight red upon him.
And the fourth was moment in which no
body else could possibly have seen any sig
nifiCanCe.
They were bare ten days out of Nan
tucket when an unreasonable gale came
booming northward. At that time Tommy
Holden was only seventeen and raw green
just ten days out from port on his first voyage
The blow was not dangerous, but with foam
ing spume amdships and wind making eerie
noises in the Bedford's rigging, it was awe
some for green lad to contemplate 1t was
night, and rain poured down in torrents
Tommy was awed by the masses of moving
water which surged fearsomely upon the ship
out of darkness
He heard a voice roar somewhere, but he
could not make out the words Then figures
came bouncing past him = with rain stream
ing off them - and vanished up the ratlines
over his head. 1t seemed that the ship rolled
more heavily and creaked more formidably
than ever before, Tommy clung on tightly,
wondering apprehensivey if this task was
one in which he should have shared
Then hand came down heavily upon his
shoulder. A voice roared in his ear:

Return Home Seen
Hardest Pan for
zamzam Survivors
Miss Mary Beam Plans
To Go to Africu at
First Opportunity

Returning home for the mis-
sonaries. anyhow. was the toughest
part of their voyage on the zamzam.
They had been under fire; many
had been dumped in the ocean; all
had been prisoners on hostile
raider which ran the British
blockade.
Yet there was little rejoicing for
their deliverance when the home
wardbound ship raised the Statue
Of Liberty, for the missionaries had
been turned back-had been forcibly
prevented from answering the call
Of duty overseas.
That was the hardest of all to
take!" declared Miss Mary Beam,
40, an interdenominational mis-
sionary of Scotch Irish descent, who
would be in the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan today, instead of Washington,
had not a German raider Intercepted
the ancient Egyptian steamship in
the South Atlantic.
Bent on Reaching Africa.
What are you going to do now?"
Miss Beam was asked.
I'm going to Africa as soon as
I possibly can" she replied Many
of us tried to go on from Lisbon,
but we couldn't get State Depart
ment permission"
Miss Beam, who is the guest of
friend, Mrs. Philip L. Greene, at
Woodley Park Towers, was in
Ethiopaia in 1888 when invading
italian legions ousted the mis-
sionaries. She returned to her native
Greenville, S. c., and was going
back to East Africa when the
Eamzam met the raider.
Miss Beams cabin was on the top
deck, port side. She heard the raid

German vessel.
Dress for Eventuality.
Il hurried back to my cabin and
closed the portfolios. We three girls
who were roommates dressed quick
~, put on lifebelts and got our pa
pers and valuables together. Like
most OF the other passengers, we
kept off the decks while the she'll
ing eontinued-else the casualty list
would have been much larger.
Shells were whistling in the air
and splashing In the water all
around. There was no warning
not even on the Zamzam. The
passengers remained wonderfully
calm, although the crew got a bit
panicky.
When the shelling halted we got
into our lifeboat. We didn't notice
until the boat was lowered to the
water that her bottom had been rid
died. One of the lifeboats capsized,
but ours filled with water quite
slowly.
Presently we were in the water,
with only the rim of the lifeboat
above the surface. There was
mother and four children and an
elderly couple in the boat. We who
could swim struck out to tighten
the boat. We made it to a raft float
ing nearby.
Il had my passport and money
ls1 belt and was carrying brief
case with my papers. 1t got pretty
heavy trying to swim with the brief
case. A missionary said, Don't try
20 hold to your earthly possessions,
sister, in an hour like this!' I guess
my papers are on the bottom of
the ocean now.
tempt was to be made to pick us up.
Presently we saw motorboats from
the raider 'put-putting' about. The
people ON our raft were the last
picked up. The children were
hauled over the side In baskets. and
we saw some of the wounded being
raised in sings. We climbed rope
ladder to the deck.
After we had got safely on
board we noticed a great rainbow
In the sky. We knew the Lord was
looking after us and would not for
sake US. We took 1t as a good
omen"
One OF the most terrible moments,
Miss Beam said, came at midnight
on the raider, when the women and
children, locked in a room below
the decks, heard an alarm sounded
and the feet Of German sailors rae
ing 10 battle'stations. Terror gripped
the helpless passengers, who could
not know If q torpedo or gunfire
would send them to the bottom, but
there was no panic-only the sob

Whn q sailor informed them the
ship sighted WAS the German YES

Miss Beam. like most Of the other
passengers, lost all her possessions
which were stored In the hold-fisld
clothing. medical equipment and
stores to last her for q year IN the
interior Of Africa.
Miss Beam will lecture ut the
