Between The
Book Ends
(OWEN FARRELL CLARK

While browsing in the public
library the other day I noticed one
of AIdous Huxleys works, BRAVE
NEW WORLD. Several years have
passed since first I read this un-
usual novel but fon some reason or
other the story fingers in my mind
The title itself is well known and
often is used in a cynical manner.
Huxley, member of prominent
English family, and very brilliant
writer is a strong critic Of society.
One senses in his work that his
belief is that there is change but
little progress as we become en-
tangled in our machine age of civ
iliZation.
This particular novel is built
around the central idea that man
started by being master of machines
and he well may end by becoming
a slave tied to these same machines.
His picture of a society of the fu-
ture wherein all free will is lost
and human beings become robots
is a grim one and worthy of dis
cussion. Our present war, for in
stance, shows the tremendous pow
er of the machine.
I can't go all the way with him
in his long view and one can never
be too sure that he is pointing out
anything other than what might

down so quickly the others would
have been saved.
"As we pulled away from the
ship one of the crew put his head
over the side Of the boat and asked
us for a lift. We helped him in
and found that he was totally
dressed, even carrying small bag
with him. / asked him where he
thought he was going. Well, I've
got the unions funds here he said
and pointed TO the bag.
1--WE pulled for bales Of cotton,
floating in the sea, where we no
ticed men were atop. The first
man we picked up was a fourth
mate. He had no life preserver on.
couldn't swim and all he had on
was an officers cap-no other
clothes.
From there we proceeded to
pick up others on the bales OF
cotton, among them the third as
sistant mate. He had nothing on
but pair of shorts. We lifted
him into our boat and he said.
My, my. my look al all the ocean
SUB SURFACES
THE other men were on RATS
which we knew were safe so we
proceeded 10 90 through the float
ing wreckage 10 look for others.
About then the Nazi sub surfaced
and came toward us. They shouted
through their megaphone for us
TO come alongside. Some of us
were rather leery. but owing TO the
fact that the subs machine gun
was manned, we rowed toward the
sub.
Upon arrival, the sub commander
stated he was sorry he had TO sink

il the ship were an American or
Allied ship il would have met the
same fate we did. 1t had only
been two hours since we were hit,
and the submarine was still around.
Upon sighting the bridge which
was painted white we knew the
ship TO be neutral. We set our
course for the ship.
Upon getting alongside we found
the ship TO be a Spanish tanker.
This, ! have in my mind, was there
for no good use. The tanker was
empty, and remembered the
words of the sub commander who
told us that il we kept on our
course we'd be picked up soon.
"On the Spanish ship food was
short and we slept on iron decks
for five days. but we were glad TO
be alive. We were taken into a
South American port where we
were contacted by American author
tiles. We stayed there ten days,
others longer. and then were

our ship but ii was either him or
us. We hadn't sighted him when
he fired the torpedo at us because
we did not see any periscope, show
ing that the sub went by sounding
devices. In perfect English, the
captain asked us where our captain
or the rest of officers were. We
told him none were aboard our life
boat
after finding out that all Off
GERS were lost, except the fourth
mate, the commander asked for
our injured men. We didn't want
TO let the men go, not knowing
what might happen. but we thought
the best part of valor and sent the
wounded men aboard. The fourth
mate was also called aboard A
camera took pictures of the crew,
fourth mate and wounded men.
1.-The men, after being treated,
came off the sub. One had ham
sandwich, a can of water, few
cigarettes, and carton Of matches.
These matches were marked Made
in France and had Dakar stamp
on them. We were given a course
10 follow by the sub commander
and were told that il we kept on
this course we would be picked up.
SPANISH SHIP AROUND
"After the sub took off, we pro-
ceeded toward an empty raft and
took all the food and water we
would need for a ten-day trip. We
were $50 miles from the South
American coast. We got ready for
our trip by securing two RATS with
our men on them when a ship hove
in sight.
I'VE were afraid TO signal because
