Kissing Fox
Gives Deputy
Final Caress

Deputy Sheriff John South,
from somewhere below the Mas
on Dixon Line, has a mournful
timbre TO his voice as he answers
night ca Is at the SherifrS office
about the same time that Larry
Gentle, Detroit radio ANNOUNCE
or, is treating night providers to
music on his Dawn Patrol.
The reason?
Well, Deputy Sheriff South
has sold his faithful, kissing
fox.
The osculating little pet had
just two interests in the word,
xii ing the South hens when he
got a chance and giving his mas
ter a nice, sweet kiss.
The deputy sold him to a pass
erby, who expressed a fancy for
him one day as South had him
out for an auto rice. A woman
witness of the transaction re-
preached the deputy sheriff for
letting down the little Renard
when South put his face down
to his pets muzzle for a fare
well careSS.
SO South, wondering if, after
all, he is a direct lineal de
scendant Of Judas Iscariot
(whcrc pet foxes are conccrned)
IS mournfu as he answers the
plea Of a woman Tho asks will
he please send somebody out to
jerk hence her husband who is
a mama-mauler with a penchant
for wife beating or something.

LOS ANGELES, April 29-tP)
Mrs. Lily Fern Thompson, %
year-old survivor Of los tragic
days on a sloop-rigged lifeboat
i'm the pacific, has recovered suf-
ficiently 10 recall, briefly Incl
dents Of the fatal trip.
Attorney Robert A. Mech, Jr.,
said he expects TO show the young
widow the log of the Wing on
this weekend The boat disinte-
grated a few hours after she was
removed from it by a missionary
in the Fiji'IsIandS Nov. "a, 1910.
Mrs. Thompson, still barely
alive, was brought home March
"a, l94l. She was suffering from
a mental blaCkout; was too weak
TO walk; was a bundle of nerves
despite three months hOSpitali-
zation in Suva. There was a ques-
ton whether she ever would see
again.
In those l3 months, Mech said,
Mrs. Thompson has recovered
sufficiently to take daily walks,
enjoy automobile rides and pic
ture shows, and, more remark
able, "to tell a good deal Of what
happended. She recalls the
deaths Of her husband and the
other" Dave and Eve Comfy,
the other young couple who set
out so gaily Aug. II, 1910, on a
pleasure cruise TO the south seas.
The party had rugged up a
28-foot lifeboat and took provi-
sionS for only one month. They
expected to sail TO Hawaii and
then Samoa, but missed both.

Thompson, 81, was buried at
sea. Mrs. Conly's body was buri-
ed in the Fills. Conly's was lost
as the boat fell TO pieces over
night after the Rev. w. G.. Ferris,
a missionary at Buca Bay, Wanna
Lavu, Fiji Isands, removed Mrs.
Thompson.
Neeb said Mrs. Thompson S
one wish is TO live a normal life
with her two children. Tommy,
q months old, lives with her at
her parents home. Her daugh-
ter, Jackie, lives a few blocks
away, with her paternal grand
parents, but Mrs. Thompson sees
her daily.
On the advice Of a psychia-
triSt, Mrs. Thompson was given,
bit by bit, scraps of information
obtained from the log of the
Wing on. Finally, she began to
recall incidents from her tragic
trip.
She was not told Of her hus-
bands death; nor of the Conly's,
but eventually she remembered.
Clint Thompson was the first
to die, because he refused to
eat so that the others might have
the few scraps remaining.
Nor was she shown any news
paper clippings. Nor any CORE
spondence, such as this excerpt
from Mr. Ferris letter:
She (Mrs. thompson had
lived, indeed, in the reek of
death for these weeks ."
