As Told To The United Press

MOREH1AD CITY, Sept. is. -
U.H-We left Curacao on the MART
II on September the seventh. It
was just another trip for all of us,
and it started out as a very plea
SAINT one.
Everything went fine the first
few days out. The weather was
calm and the seas were Is smooth
as glass. The night Of the 18th it
was Just as calm and quiet as you
could want it. The engines we're
purring along nicely and everybody
got a good nights sleep. Our heavy
cargo of oil made the ride easy.
But when we got up on Friday
the 18th there seemed to be some
thing in the air. I don't know what
it was. But I could just feel it.
Just before noon the e started
to swell and the wind began to pick
up. 1t was what you would call a
moderate wind. But it was grow
ing stronger by the minute.
/ didn't think mucn OF II at tlrSt,
even though we were kicking
around a bit. Then after a few
minutes I began to get a little un'
easy. It made all of us a little I'm
easy, and we tried to keep ou
minds on other things.
I went down about noon to have
something to eat. The ship was
tossing .madly. The wind was blow
ing. And there was all kinds Of
noise.
Felt Like Quake
I was eating when all OF a sud
den I thought I'd felt an earth
quake. The lights went out. Ano
then everything was quiet. Tina
was when the engines stopped. Ano
then the ship seemed to fall righ'
out from under me

WELFARE LEADER
FAV0RSPR0P0SA
Mrs. Thomas Cause Be-
lieves Home For Prob
lem Juveniles Good Idea

uu J. Cause, cnalr'
ION of the New Hanover county
Roar dof Welfare, yesterday oe'
dared that recent proposals TO con.
vort the county-owned buildings at
the old Red Cross sanitorium into
home for problem Juveniles
would be a "wise move anu oa
badly-needed here"
Mrs. Gauss indicated that the
we1fare department might enlist
The aid of local civic clubs in ao-
vancing the proposal before the
county board when she declared
her belief that "our civic organiza-
ions would fully agree with this
view" .
The Welfare department leader
said that the older children no"
under the juvenile courts care
should be housed in some place
"awav from the conditions OF the
county home
Earlier Alan A. Marshall, former
juvenile court judge, had express
cd the view that sit would be a
very good thing to get these JuVe-
niles now in county custody away
from the atmosphere of the county
home"
Mrs. Cause said that she object
ed to. present conditions under
which juvenile detainees are no"
thrown into contact with county
home inmates.
.I believe that it would be the
best thing in the world for these
children to be placed into a home
under good matronly influence"
she asserted.
Local juvenile court officials
have so far avoided direct advoc-
acy of the sanitorium plan.
Privately, however, some OF them
have agreed that, should it prove
practicable, the old sanitorium
would be a good substitute for the
county home quarters now afforded
juvenile detainees.
The sanitorium they say, is large
enough to house the juveniles now
in the county custody with separ-
ate Accommodations for both whites
and NEGROES,
