Dewitt protested that he had

evening, that his own guests +.
Longstreet glared. II said every
body" Imperiale shrugged; a
faint puzzled light glowed in
Lords eyes as he turned to look
at Dewitt.
The entire party crowded into
an elevator. In the lobby Long
street bought a late newspaper
and ordered taxicabs. On the side
walk the doorman whistled des-
perately as weeks of hot weather
gave way suddenly to a vicious
downpour.
Pullox whooped: "Here comes
a Crosstown!"
Longstreet snatched off his
glasses, returned them to the
case, and the case to his left pock-
ct. He waved his right hand.
"Devil with cabs!" he shouted.
Lets take the CARP
The Street-car squealed to a
stop as the Longstreet party
dashed to it, Cherry clinging to
Longstreet's left arm, Longstreet's
left hand still in his pocket.
The car was freighted to ca
pacity.
Longstreet swayed with the
rocking motion of the car, a dol
lar bill clutched in his right fist
above the heads of his fellow-pas-
sengers. The humidity, with all
the windows closed, induced a
feeling of suffocation.
The conductor wriggled about
and took Longstreet's bill. Long
street received his change and be-
gan to shoulder his way after his
party. He found Cherry, who
grasped his right arm. The car
edged on toward Ninth avenue.
Longstreet thrust his hand into
his pocket and felt about for his
spectacle case. A moment of this,
and with a sudden curse he
snatched his hand from the pock-
ct, bringing out the silver case.
Cherry said: whats the matter?"
Longstreet uncertainty examined
his left hand: the palm and under
skin of the fingers were bleeding
in number of places. "Must've
scratched myself. What in the
world could've ?" he began
thickly. The car 1urched and
stopped; people fell forward. In
stinctively Longstreet CROPPED for
strap with his left hand, and
Cherry held on to his right arm
for support. The car jerked for
ward again a few feet. Longstreet
dabbed heavily at his bleeding
hand with a handkerchief, re-
turned the cloth to his trousers,
extracted his glasses from the
case, dropped the case into his
pocket, and made as if to open
the folded newspaper he held
tucked under his right arm.
The car stopped at Ninth ave-
nue.. A crowd pounded on the
doors, but the conductor shook
his head.
Longstreet suddenly released
the strap, dropping the unread
newspaper, and felt his forehead.
He was painting like a man in
great pain. Cherry Rugged his
right arm in alarm, turned as if
to call for help =.
The car was between Ninth and
Tenth avenues now, stopping,
starting, stopping, in the maze of
traffic.
Longstreet gasped, stiffened
convulsively, widened his eyes
and collapsed.
Cherry screamed. Necks craned
and the Longstreet party pushed
their way toward the spot. Mi
chael Collins caught the actress
as she reeled.

The sinking of a medium sized
Dutch cargo vessel in the Caribbean
two months ago, which was an
nounced by the Navy today, brought
to 344 the unofficial Associated Press
tabulation of United Nations and
neutral ship losses in the Western
Atlantic area since Pearl Harbor.
All 81 persons aboard the ship
were rescued, although the vessel
was sunk by an enemy sub within

States vessel, a small British tanker
and medium-siz Norwegian
cargo ship-which with the loss dis

area to 113.
