the greatest events in the history
of the game. 1t was won by Mr..
and Mrs. Jeff Click of Miami, Fla,
disproving the theory that hus-
bands and wives cannot play bridge
together. The runners-up were
Harry Reinberg of Cleveland and
Miss Ann Bryant Of Kansas City.
Without a doubt, the greatest
mixed pair combinations ever as
sembled participated in the event,
and during the three sessions OF
play 1t was q toss-up. The Clicks
thought htey were In a bad posi-
ton, as they were 28th at the end
of the two qualifying rounds, but
they passed the 81 pairs ahead of
them In the finals, to go on to vic
tory.
Mr.. and Mrs. Click were married
only three years ago. Both Jeff
and I were formerly Clevelanders,
and ! have always considered him
one OF the finest card players In
the country. He knows how to "lay
those tickets down" in their proper
rotation. Here is an example of his
brilliant play, taken from the ma
tional mixed pairs In which he was

Click, sitting South. ruffed the
opening lead. He led low trump

shorts were without insignia and he had lost his hat in the sea. The crew told the NaEis that he had drowned.
 The Nazis gave the survivors some German cigarettes and four gallon tin cans. These later turned out to be black bread untit for human consumption. TheN sur- vivors held up one of the seri- ously burned crewmen. The U- boat produced some salve.
 Then the subs navigating ofii- cer looked at chart, and gave the lifeboats Q course, He said 1t would take them to British Guiana. Actually, as they later learned, 1t would have led to nueutral French Guiana--and internment for the duration.
 The commander spoke sharply in German: Proceed immediate ly." The sub cast them of and submerged.
 The conversation had been com pletely matter of fact throughout,
 When the sub disappeared the survivor load was equalized be- twen the two lifeboats. There was no wind, so the motor launch started towing. Within few hours they came upon the third lifeboat, EIGHT MEN MISSING
 Now the losses became known, Five of the merchant crew were missing, three of the Navy. Loads and provisions were again equal- ized, leaving sixteen men to O boat, Inn the boats split up, hoping to increase the chance of sighting a passing ship or plane. Two of the lifeboats were picked up. The third is still missing.
 Three of the Navy crew owed their lives to a chanced dash through the wall of flame that separated their forward gun station from the rest of the ship, Their companions, refusing the dash as suicidal, had perished.
 Lieut.. Bailey figured it would take minimum of two weeks to reach land. He rationed water to last a month-two ounces each three times a day.
 The equatorial heat was almost unbearable. They rigged up the boat cover as an awning and rain trap, but the first rain merely soaked up the salt on the awning and they couldn't drink it.
 Food presented no rationing problem. The cracker-llke sea ra- tinos were too dry to chew without more water than was available, The canned concentrates were sweet and made every one thirst fer. So, although there was off, cially meal of half a cacn of ra- tions every evening at six hardly any one ate. The matted milk tab lets were the best.
 They set up siX-hour watches, But of watch there wasn't room to stretch. A few swan to get out the kinks, but Lieut.. Bailye's hands were too burned for him to get overheard and back again.

Suddenly the ship lurched vio- lently. There vase two thunder ous explosions, so close together that they were almost simultane- ous. Two torpedoes had torn into the forward holds, exploding and spraying flame over the length of the ship. There hadn't been mo- nent's warning.
 In the seconds it took Lieut.. Bailey to reach the whehelhouse the fire had already choked it. The whole forward part of the ship was blazing. The communication system was out. No orders could be given The fire was racing aft, famed by the night wind.
 CABIN WAS AFLAME
 Lieut.. Bailey hurried to his cabin to destroy confidential papers. The fire, whipped by passageway drafts, beat him to it. His cabin was aflame. By the time he got to the boat deck, the liteboats were a. ready being lowered.
 He made his way aft, gave his Navy men orders to abandon ship. Instead of following them over board immediately, he went all the way aft to see If there was any fur ther hope of saving the ship, There wasn't. Then he went down a rope Already the ships deck was so hot that he burned his hands just let ting himself over the side,
 A strong swimmer, Lieut., Bailey pushedl through the warm water to a safe distance from the burn ing ship. Flames lighted the watess around him, and when he bobbed up to the crest of wave he sometimes could see one of the lifeboats tossing around, looking for survivors. He thought of his

wife again, and wondered if he'd ever get back to Chicago to see his yet-unborn baby.
 Nearly two hours later he was picked up in the ships 25-foot motor launch. Built for 25 pas- sengerS, she was now packed with 25. Her gunwales were so near the water the men dared not start her motors.
 All night they stood by, watch. ing their merchantman burn, treat ing their wounded. Those who could manned the oars to keep a safe distance from the ship. No one talked.
 At dawn they spied the red sail of second lifeboat. Just as they came up to her, the submarine sur faced and delivered the coup de grace to the burning ship. Then 1t came over to the lifeboats. On its deck were two survivors whom 1t had fished from the sea.
 The subs crew was young ill., kempt, unshaven. All were pallid, The sub threw the boats a line and made them fast. A young German went to the machine gun. let his fingers dance pointedly on its grips. But he did not aim at the boats.
 The U-hoat commander did not speak English, but a junior officer did-perfectly. He asked for par ticulars about the torpedoed mer- chantman. He was given the in- formation. You don't answer coy. ly with a machine gunner drum ming on the grips.
