They were just two American
boys, neither with any extraordi-
nary advantages. One was from
a farm, the other was the son OF
an immigrant. They joined the
colors to fight war which neither
had any particular equipment for,
and one day they found themselves
up in the air. hunting submarines
with tough old chief petty officer.
And now here they were, three
weeks in a little rubber float that
turned them like birds on a spit
beneath a flame every rainless
day. In that time, the food and
water we put into our bellies would
hardly have sustained, for the
same length of time, the poor
creatures we had eaten. Still. be-
side me here. they were stubbornly
fighting off a death that must
become more certain and more
horrible every day that we
avoided il.
No one yet had suggested the
easy way out. If any one thought
of it, he didn't let on.

Gear Holding Up

The raft was still in good con-
dition. Our gear was holding up
lwell-what was left Of it-except
that the water-catching rags were
becoming frayed. The two lads
had lost their socks, and their feet
were painfully sunburned. My own
socks were full of holes and al
most rotting from the sun and
salt water. but still gave my feet
some protection.
OF us three, Gene Aldrich suf-
fered the most from sunburn,
partly as a result of his own stub
bornness, or carelessness, in not
needing my advice to keep rags
about his head. / frequently ad-
vised both the boys to keep their
heads covered as well as they
could against the sun, but Gene
preferred to let himself burn.
AS a consequence, he was always
suffering. and complained incess-

The winds turned variable and
shifted us about. sending our little
boat skidding for few hours in
one direction, then likely as not
il would turn on the opposite tack
and make an equal distance the
other way. 1t was irritating TO be
losing time in this way, for each
passing hour that we were not
heading the way we wanted to go

hour taken away from our lives
Finally steady breeze held in
the northwest. This was worse.
for ii drove us back eastward
about hundred miles the same
distance that we had so laboriously
padded to the west. This contrary
wind worked us about so miles
TO the south as we'll. We were
becoming discouraged, when an
other flat calm descended. We
took I'D our shoe paddles and
rowed back westward for eight
hours straight before the wind set
in from the east, and took us
westward again.

The fallibility of my chart was

ahead. as if he had not heard. It
was impossible to tell whether he
was lost in thought, or was just
slipping into a doZe.
Then I would fly into violent
rage, and scream at him. After
minute or two of this / would
stop 10 catch my failing breath,
and usually some little sound like
the tapping of a wave against the
raft, or the forlorn squawk Of a
sea bird, would recall me TO my
senses. At first I apologized to
Gene for my unreasoned outburst.
but when I saw that he was not
listening 1 lapsed into morose
silence myself.
Eventually Gene would snap
out of his trance, and become
laxative, but his conversation
wandered. He would begin an
anecdote, and before he had COM
pleted his thought he would be on
a different subject.
When I considered Genes con-
dition during my own lucid mo-
ments, it occurred to me that the
strangest phase of his behavior
was the fact that he sometimes
was the sanest of us all. His spells
of absent -mindedness came inter
mittently and without warning.
Moods Vary
AS I look back, I see that my
own reaction to the starvation.
thirst. confinement. and heat was
no less unreasonable. One moment
would be solicitous and con-
cerned for the boys; without warn
ing my mood would give way to
blind anger. At such times /
couldn't understand why they did
not Jump 10 obey the instant i
gave an order. Then / would curse
irrationally, as one swears at a
stone after he has stubbed his toe
on IL.
Tony's reactions came to be
about the same as mine. Until
about the third week he was
terribly respondent; after that,
his staunch nature came to life.
Tony had a heritage of warm
blood; as privation began 10 work
on him, as it did on US all, he
showed il in shortneSS of temper.
Sometimes, when we all happened
TO be in a jolly mood at the same
time. 1 jokingly congratulated him
on the vocabulary he could show
when his ire was aroused. Tony
would grin at this. little sheep
ishly. Ordinarily. he had a sweet,
shy nature that shrank from vio-
lence either of action or Of Ian
guage.
well, / never liked to fight
when I was kid" Tony eX-
planned once. But one time a
feIla got me cornered and i
guess I beat the hell out of him.
I reflected that II was good to
have these lads along. They were
young, they were inexperienced
with the sea, which had been my
profession for p years.

Cards End Fine Year on Track
With Triumph Over La Sale

Catholic University's trackmen had
another successful season in the bag
today after outrunning its old and
formidable Philadelphia rival, La
Sale, by a 69-57 margin at Brook
land.
1t was the same old story with
the same dependables raking in most
of the points for the Cardinals. Cleve
Starter, Catholics broadjumper
par Aexcellence, contributed the
only ecord- -shattering performance
of til afternoon with leap of 81
feet, h2 inches, but other efforts
were extraordinary.
1t will be long time before Coach
Dorsey Griffith has the good fortune
to get such a willing and capable
group urdcr his wing at one time
as he has in this group, as he fully
realizes erd appreciates. In Johnny

Their earnestness and some native
ability have blended well with
Griffith's genius for bringing out
the best in a boy. The qualities of
these ingredients are reflected in the

of the best small-college logs in the

Landon's S Beatty Hits
3-Run Homer 10 Nip
Little Hoya Nine

Jack Beatty Is getting a reputa-
ton as the big spoiler among WASH
ington's private school baseball
players. First baseman on the Lam
don team, he was one of the two
players getting last-inning hits that
spoiled a no-hit pitching job by
st. Adams Earl Elliott on Wednes-
day and he continued in the same
batting style yesterday bv hitting
a homer with two men on base that
gave his team a 1919 victory over
Georgetown Prep.
His big blow came in the sixth
inning at a time when Prep had
81 lead. He previously had
singled twice.
Also hitting heavily was Ed Mil
Ter of the Little Hoyas who earlier
had belted out a homer with the
bases loaded and a triple.
