Weldon eyed him in a way thatd make your
blood run cold, but the mate gave him look for
look
WELL my bucbo!" he roared after bit of this.
Don't you like the cut of my jib?"
Il don't" Weldon said, cool cucumber.
LET me tell you, my fo'c'se dancing master"
said the mate hastily, I'VE got long cruise ahead.
You'd better damn quick get to like everything
to know the weight of a rope end But you will,
if you don't watch your eeway."
That all that happened that time, but
there was more that night in the focsle.
Weldon had picked for himself the forrard
bunk on the top tier 1t was sort of private like
with its high side board and he rugged bit of
curtain over it. But Big Jake thought he'd like
that spot so he ripped out Weldons curtain and
threw his donkeys breakfast on the deck
I'm cock O the mates boat" he Dragged, star
ing around the little foc'sle. "And I'm cock here.
Anyone want to argue?"
No one said anything Then Weldon, quiet as
mouse stepped forward to pick up his mattress.
Big Jake stood grinning at him. But all of
sudden Weldon Strengthened up and fetched Jake
a crack across the head with big teak fid.
The big man dropped like he'd been shot and
Weldon heaved his stuff out of the upper berth
and replaced his own gear.
Amt no man here big enough TO pull stunt
like that on me-" he said.
His strange black eyes burned around that
foc'sle. 1t was murky, lit by two smoking whale
oil lamps. There wasn't room for to stand
upright in it. Most of the deck space was taken
up by the heel of the foremost and the Samson
posts. Men, half dressed smoking hair in their
eyes, looked up silently from their chests
and didn't say anything. Except for kid who
sat at the foot of the companion, blubberng.-
Big Jake lay in the middle of the deck, stiff as
a mackerel, with blood oozing from his tangled
hair.

out of corner of his mouth.
"Tll fight him or any one of ye'' Weldon re-
turned. Nov get away from me an leave me
be-"
The crew went on with their chores.
1t took half an hour for Big Jake to come to.
He sat up, nursing his head and blinking about
the smoke filled fo'csle. Then he growled some
thing and weaved to his feet fumbling for his
sheath knife
Put that down, you tallow-beied scum" said
Weldon softly.
Big Jake looked at knife that wasn't an
inch from his eyes.
II want no trouble wi the likes o. you," We'll
don went on. But I'll have your liver out if we
try any monkeyShines with me. Don't forget
there's nights we'll days aboard this ship.
I'll get you in your sleep an I'll cut your shaggy
throat If you cross me.
Jake moved away without word and slowed
his gear in another bunk.
That wasn't good start for long voyage.
And all hands knew there'd be bad trouble be-
fore they reached home port.
But Jake had seemingly learned his lesson. All
hands soon shook down and there were few
fights. One man got crossways of Weldon and
George on him like wild cat, gouging, kick
ing, and mauling until the fellow crawled off dazed
and bleeding half scared to death.
The mates boat had their drills, lowered af-
ter blackfish and learned the way of line and iron.
Weldon pulled tub oar and Big Jake was bow for
his strength. Aware showed Weldon how to run
a flemish coil and handle the center board. On the
whole, he reported to the old man. they weren't
as bad as some boat crews he'd had.

BY RUTH TAYLOR

We can't win this war with
out utilization of all our forces
and the inevitable end is the
mobilization of all man power.
But just what will this mean to
you and me, to each and every
one of uS2
The mobilization of man pow
er does not mean the taking of
trained labor and moving it
from place to place where it is
needed. You and l, our families,
our neighbors are all part of the
man power In this crucial hour.
The energies of all the people
of the who're nation must be To-
cused upon the one task of win
ming the war as quickly as pos
sible.
The call for man power does
not mean workingmen alone. It
includes all men and all women.
It embraces farmers, lawyers,
trained business men. 1t means
that women must take over jobs
to release men for the fighting
forces and for heavy war work.
It means that women must go
into the factories, onto the
farms and into the Offices. 1t
means that before we get
through, all of us. black and
white, rich or poor, will have a
job to do and chance to prove
our worth.
Mobilization of man power is
not a socialized CONSUMPTION of
any one class. 1t is an evidence
Of the willingness of free men
and women to defend that free
dom. Each and every one of us
must work. We must keep ever.
