I was born in Walters, Okla, christ
ened Emmet Evan Heflin, and my
father was dentist, DR.. E. E. Hef1in,
while my mother was, and is,
lovely lady whose maiden name was
Fanny Blocker Shippey of Long
Beach, Calf, and who never has
shown any inclination for adventure.
When was about II, we moved
to Long Beach, Calf. and I got my
first view Of the sea. It intrigued me
even then, but the truth is that I
made my first cruise because an
employer Of seamen happened to
live next door.
Entering Long Beach Poly High, I
studied hard for youngster, with
but one attempt at athletics, de-
termined but unsuccessful try for
the lightweight football team. The
team and coach watched my efforts
at trying to catch the ball and then
elected me manager. That was just
to get my suit away from me-
However. had more luck in de-
batting and drama circles and was
encouraged and aided by the drama
coach, Miss L. v. Breed. She was
the first to set my immature mind
on the theater and, even though we
were doing only amateur school
plays, she taught me much that
helped me thereafter.
Came summer vacation and the
man next door. He hired me as a
member of the crew of the liner,
City Of Los Angeles, plying between
San Pedro (near Long Beach, and
Honolulu. I made four round trips
but discovered very little about the
handling of ships. was an assist
ant laundryman, operating mangles

room unattractive.
Back to the Sea.
The next summer I signed on al
oil tanker for a South American
cruise. We spent some time in Chill,
and my sense of geography was i'm
proving, If nothing else.
Having already spent two summe
vacations working on ships on th'
Hawaii and South American runs,
Evening star., 1942-08-23

naturally turned to the sea again
upon graduating from high school
at Long Beach and signed for a
cruise that nearly wound up in
eternity.
The ship was the oil tanker F. H.
Hillman and our course was plotted
from the West Coast of the United
States, through the Panama Canal
and on to England. My papers said
I was an ordinary seaman.
Down the West Coast and through
the Canal the weather was fine and
the ship was happy, but soon after
we left Cristobal, on the Atlantic
side of the big ditch, we ran into a
hurricane in the Caribbean Sea. I
still shudder bit when the wind
blows.
I'd just been relieved as lookout
on the forecastle by my partner and
had made my way up to the wheel
when the big blow hit us. 1t came
like blast from super giant.
Our ship heeled over as the hurri-
cane enveloped us and the huge
waves smashed at us until it seemed
no vessel could withstand their de-
structive force. The skipper and I
took turns at the wheel. No relief
could get to us. My arms ached
until thought they'd fall off, and
at times I held to the wheel to keep
from collapsing on the deck in utter
exhaustion.
And Back to School.
For three days our ship stood up
to the storm before the peace and
calm of quiet weather carnS. Our
decks were battered, all lifeboats
had been swept away and three
members of our crew had gone over
the side. One of these was my
partner who had relieved me as look
out. He was lost from the station
which I'd left just before the storm
broke.
Back at Long Beach, eventually, ]
found my family had returned to
Oklahoma City and went home for
a visit. My mother persuaded me
to continue my education and I en-
rolled at the University of Okla
homa at Norman.
1t was during these two years that

Gus college groups. Well, I suppose
Mr.. Saroyan can do what he likes
with his own money-he is sole
flnancier of his weird plays, but
what with the war and everything,
it does seem a sad waste of healthy
dollars.
Money, fortunately, means very
little to Saroyan. The $500 earned
recently by the Armenian playwright
in Hollywood, was turned over to his
relatives, with two results: The said
beneficiaries could no longer be listed
as dependents of Saroyan, and he is
now eligible for the IA draft. At
that, the Army might be good for
William. 1t might bring him down
to earth.
So Sweet to Ilka.
Ilka Chase returned from Holly
wood breathing love and good
toward practically every one in the
film colony. Which makes me trifle
suspicious of the veracity of the
lady's statements. But every one
was so nice to me-in spite of the
things I said about Hollywood in my
