the Navy officer who had sworn
the boys into the service.
"Well, Commander" said Tom,

IHE Commander seemed nerv-

''Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan" he
began. ordinarily the Navy would
send a telegram but -"
Tom, pale, interrupted:

The Commander said it quietly.
"AIl FIVE"
Mrs. Sullivan pushed back the
sob. Toms voice was heavy and
cracked: IAN five? All five of
them?" He shook his head as if to
clear it. Then he listened as the
Commander said: ssIhe Navy has
received definite word. Your
sons George, Frank, Joseph,
Madison and Albert are missing
in action in the South Pacific.
The telegram made it official.
Tom accepted it all five of
them were gone. His shoulders
hunched. He didn't say anything
for a minute. Then he looked at
the clock. He started to reach for
his dinner pail but stopped. Mrs.
Sullivan saw him look at the clock,
saw him reach for his pail. She
walked close to him and gently
patted his shoulder. Its all right,
Tom. It's the right thing to do.
The boys would want you to-"
Tom Strengthened then. He picked
up his heavy coat. fuInbled little

A long gray ship slices under the
sky,
One light aft, and the smoke pile
high
In black and towering crested
plume,
Like a tall and perpendicular
broom;
The night crowds down. and the
clouds hang low.
Md the sea is pale with d drenchin:
glow
That drains from a splendid, hidde'
glare
Df sun exploding final flare;
A small wind chambers the rock,
To the landward field. and the gras
grows rough,
Then uuiets again.
In a hush Of it, own
The ship goes travelling its course
alone.
One light aft, and the smoke piled
high,
Under a lowering, clouded sky.
