The sea was clubbing me. trying

swept beneath. filled the inside,
and lifted the raft right side up,
slamming its bottom against a
slanted wall of sea.
We flung ourselves against the
raft again. I somehow scrambled
in. and grabbed Tony by both his
wrists. l let myself fall TO sitting
position, braced my feet, and
pulled him in. Between us, then
we rescued Gene. All Of us lay

Sometime later. maybe hours
I took The inventory. All oul
spare rags were gone, but the
water-catching rags were there
Then-I missed the anchor.
This was a terrible blow. Now
we could not control the raft ex.
cept by rowing, and our last
experience with rowing had sc
weakened us that ! knew we would
have TO give it up except in the
last extremity.

The wind rose higher, and the
waves came faster The swells un-
coiled like great green snakes and
burst into white at the top, then
fell apart with an angry roar. They
rolled beneath the light raft and
raised us up until we looked into
a sickening depth. Then we would
spin downward, sometimes missing
the break, sometimes whirling in
the wild white froth.
We shipped water, gallons az a
time. and bailed frantically with
our hands. We watched the waves
like surf-riders. rolling our weight
from side TO side as the combers
tossed the boat like toy. We
learned 10 shift ourselves adroitly
when the crest hit. TO keep the
raft in balance.
But the sea is cunning. II can
bide its time, and spring like a
beast. The wind was its ally.
The raft rose slowly as the
comber uneoiled beneath us and q

waves curling summit.

The cavalry upon nv roof; the

OF infantry that climbs the last
redoubt;
The cleaning swords that flash
upon the hill:
The endorsements with their
buKies shriil,
Their ragged banners fiuttering
and still:
The wild blue armies etched
against the sky.
The laundering cannon a. the
hordes rush nv:
The firm battalions with their he'll

blades. I hear
Their rhythmic steps as new pIa-

Each soldier with gliiterins.

shining men
Advancing In the dusk N day.
And then
Night. and the quiet moon-and
peace again.
