Edgar. There's only one way to
spell IL.
Same Is true of my middle
name which Is Vincent.
And this is true Of most mems
names.
Therefore, why Is Il that
women with the same name so
often insist upon spelling 1t
differently.
So help me there are even
three ways of spelling Eleanor.
Namely: Elinor, Eleanor and
Ellenor.

I think il was Clara Laughlin

Too bad Clara didn't write

CHAPTER 25

Although we had divided our
days into two-hour watches, I was
up and vigilant myself most Of
the time until my eyes began to
fail. Now, because of that and
my general physical condition. I
was forced 10 let the man on

his face-his delirium when he
heard the music seemed TO have
passed.
1t was about 10 o'clock.
We topped a wave, and in that
brief instant while we seemed TO
hang suspended before the long
downward slide began, Gene spoke
for the first time since taking
the watch.

Couldn't Stand

/
I tried 10 stand up, and found
I couldn't balance on my cramped
and crooked legs. l asked the
boys to hold me upright.
We came 10 the summit OF the
next large swell. Sure enough, in
the distance l could see some
thing green. AS Gene had said, ii
was beautiful.
l instantly recognized il as an
island, one Of the low. verdant
atolls of the far South Sea.
Boy" 1 said exultantly. "you
have won yourself a dinner"
We were still far off.
The wind had risen strongly,
making long and prominent streaks
on the water, which gave me an
excellent gauge of the exact wind
direction. / took a bearing on the
island. compared il with the wind
direction. and found that our
lcourse of drift was carrying us
about 10 degrees to the right of
the island.
We realized, OF course. that this
was our God-given chance for
refuge. so. weak as We were. we
saw nothing for II but 10 row.
We turned TO with will, rowing
across the wind TO make up for
the distance by which the wind
would cause us 10 miss the island
if we simply drifted.
We rowed all day. exactly across
wind at 80 degrees TO our sailing
direction.
At first we thought there was
only one island. but as We ap-
preached we saw that there we're
two. with a wide gap of water
between. II was easy to make a
choice. We took the nearer island.
ShHcks. Gene Says
When we came within six or
eight miles I saw what / thought
was a ledge of rocks above the
white beach. I figured then that
il must be volcanic island, and
we might find shelter in cavern.
This would also mean that the
island was marked on the map.
and might be visited-by our own
or friendly forces, 1 hoped.
Aldrich's eyes were still in good
condition. AS we came in closer,
perhaps within three miles of the
curving beach, he turned and took
long look.
"Chief," Gene said. "those
aren't rocks on the beach.
They're shacks."
I looked again. and again I de-
lcided they were rocks.
''Wishful thinking, Gene" /
said.
When We were about a mile
from the island L saw from the
wind streaks and blowing foam
that we were directly upwind, and
that the stiff breeze would land
us at the center of the beach with
out assistance.
"Oksy, boys" I said. I'VE can
knock off rowing"
We stopped and turned about.
Ito watch our progress. We were

will power alone, but We were So
intent on reaching this island that
we didn't realize our terrible
weakness, and rose above IL.
"Well," Gene said joyfully,
"are they shacks or rocks:"
Drift With Wind
He was right. They were shacks.
From now on il was just a mat
ter of drifting in the wind. I kept
a close eye on the bearings by the
wind streaks, to be sure that we
hit the beach.
We became conscious OF a.
steady. sullen thunder that seemed
TO grow in volume. realized
after a moment that IL was surf
breaking over barrier reef, and
1 feared we were in for a little
trouble. AS we drifted closer 4
was able 10 see. and immediately
gave the order to square away for
a possible tip-over.
We were fortunate enough to-
pass over the reef at the one brief
instant when the surf was not
breaking. We could have been
dashed against the rocky bottom,
or the ledge itself. if we had been
caught in that wild churning Of
forces when the breaker crashes
from its great height. AS It was,
we did not come out unScathed.
The breaker caught the raft be-
hind. The heavy blow of the rush.
ing foam against the stern sped us
up the sloping rear OF the smaller,
shoreward-speeding wave ahead.
Instead of sliding down its front,
We shot straight out into the air

can remember spinning head
over heels three or four times, and
raking along the floor Of the sea.
Hall Conscious
After a threshing by the water
that left me only half conscious,
1 found myself sitting on a flat
ledge Of coral rock. The raft, i
saw, was upside down again and
was heading for the beach about
a hundred yards away from me.
Gene and I were close together,
and we still had about 300 yards
TO 90 10 reach solid ground. Tony
was about so yards behind us.
None OF us was able TO stand.
I tried to raise myself on my feet,
but couldn't get my balance. Then
I found that the current was
Skidding me along on my bottom.
Gene, even with me and 10 my
right, also let himself drift and
we kept abreast.
I heard a call for help. and
looked back. It was Tony. Being
unable TO swim, he thought he was
going 10 drown. When waved
and yelled, he realized he was out
of danger. and thenceforth scooted
along like Gene and me.
We caught the boat at the very
edge of the beach. and grabbed
the anchor line. Crawling on all
fours, we dragged ourselves from
the last persistent clutch OF the
sea, and somehow hauled the raft
behind us.
We tried 10 stand upon our feet.
but couldn't. We were terribly
dizzy from exhaustion: the whole
world seemed 10 he spinning
around us. We lay on the beach
together. family conscious of the
broken coral that was cutting our
flaming, sunburned flesh as our
bodies jerked in the effort TO
breathe.

we lay.

the short IA months Of his life,
when Prinse, If he's the worrying
type, wrinkled his brow and lost
some sleep.
Like many another of foreign
birth who has at last found sanctu-
ary In the United States, Prinse has
known the roar Of a torpedo strik-
ing home and felt ship sinking
under him. He has braved the icy
Atlantic on a life raft. And he has
been, too, a "dog without coun-
try" looking for the last time on
old friends at a port where he was
refused admittance.
Prinse, who has been seafaring
Alsatian since the master Of
Norwegian freighter picked him UP
in puppyhood, seems happy enough
now in the quieter life he leads as
the special chum of 9-year-old
Stephen Kingsley. son Of Comdr.
and Mrs. M. P. Kingsley, 23l3 South
June street, Virginia Highlands.
He's been a landlubber for about
three weeks now, since Comdr.
Kingsley. captain Of a Navy de-
stroyer, last was home on leave.
Both the commander and Prinse
made surprise appearances, the ways
Of a Navy In time Of war being what
they are. Comdr. Kingsley tele-
phoned his wife one day when he
arrived in port.
I'm bringing Stephen present !
picked up out in the Atlantic" he
said. And that was all the family
knew until Comdr. Kingsley was
pulled of a train at the end OF
leash fastened to a sleek brown and
black animal resembling a Belgian
Shepherd.
Prinse took over the Kingsley
household Immediately. and no doubt
happily, after what he had been
through.
When Comdr. Kingsley came upon
him, Prinse and five men from q
torpedoed Norwegian freighter were
riding precarious perch on life
raft. on which they had spent five
days. Cold and wet, Prinse still was
in better condition than his master,
the captain, and the crew members
on the raft. They had gone without
food and water the last day, being
unable to open tins they had, 50
frost-bitten were their hands.
The rescuing destroyer, Iceland
bound. landed the seamen there.
But things did not Immediately
work out so well for Prinse. There
is a law in Iceland against the ad-
mission of domestic animals, even
seagoing Alsatians rescued from tor
pedoing. So the freighter master
reluctantly turned Prinse over to
Comdr. Kingsley and returned to a
foreign port to join another convoy.
He's a good watchdog, Mrs.

by barking proudly at each strange

The gruff tone with which he greets
the press Is belied, however. by his
actions Immediately afterward. He
pokes his head up to have his ears
scratched and wags a tail that Is 9
menace to vases on low tables. He
acts o little lonesome. Mrs. Kings
ley says, what with no seamen
around to play with him all day
long while Stephen Is In school.
Prinse still has pair of ship
board habits which set him apart
from dogs accustomed to houses.
When he goes up or down stairs he
always leans against one wall, so a
sudden lurch won't throw him of
balance. And when he takes a nap
it's in a corner, so he can brace
himself If his Virginia home starts
pitching with the waves.
Good-natured as he is. Prinse does
not like photographers with flash
bulbs. He thinks 1t Is nicer upstairs
when those things start popping.
Perhaps he remembers that night
when a fash preceded a long, wet,
cold jaunt on a life raft.
