Husband Drowns
 During Absence Of Wife

BREMERTON, Wash. (P)-The stark story of the death of Charles A. Bowman, 39, formerly of Brem- erton, in a remote Alaska fishing camp, was revealed here Saturday in a radio message to his parents Mir. and Mrs. Frank Bowman.
 The message was sent by the dead mans widow, Mrs. Alice Bowman, with whom he lived alone at Sagniaw Bay, some 200 miles northwest of Ketchikan. He was fish company buyer.
 The daugh er-in-law radioed that she had returned to the camp last Friday after weeks of hospit- alization in Ketchikan. Shortly af- ter the mail boat which brought her had gone out of earshot, she discovered she was alone, her hus- band nowhere about.
 She suspected, she said, her husband had drowned w whlle e working on his small boat.
 But it took her three frlgn'en- ing days to start balky gasoline motor which powered the couples radio set to call for help.
 She finally contacted the coas guard for help. Then bad we>(ner held up a search for three more days.
 Finally, Friday a coast guard plane located her husbands body, and flew it and Mrs. Bowman to Ketchikan.

Tigers cause trouble in India. IL

Worse still, perhaps. is the danger
from tigers which l,irk around VII

Tigers, In general. steer clear Of men
because they know that men carry
dangerous weapons, but some have
formed the habit Of attacking people.
One maneater In that area was
known by name meaning the Club

was q female. and It's name came
from the fact that one Of its legs
had been injured. making 1t limp.
A party Of British and American
hunters gathered with natives and
went into the jungies to hunt tigers.
One OF the Americans. Douglas

Goren on Bridqe

1t is one of the great charms OF
bridge that acorns can occasionally
be found by the blind of the species.
All the science in the world is i'm
potent against the workings of
certain type of magic which the
tyro will sometimes WELD. The
above deal was played in q tourna-
ment some time ago, and the West
hand was held by your humble
servant, who, be it known, does not
approve Of such practice. North
and South were q pair of charming
ladies who professed to be readers of
mine. The bidding indicated in the
diagram above, believe 1t or not.
actually took place.
Up to a point it was the model Of
accuracy. The opening bid, the
response and the rebid to three
clubs were right out of the book.
North's bid of three diamonds was
certainly the best available. It pro-
vided partner with an opportunity
to bid for game at no-trump If
he had spades guarded. This seemed
much more desirable than trying
for II tricks with such an evenly
balanced hand. South's next call
of three hearts is a choice of the
experts.
1t can hardly denote q heart suit,
which would have been shown long
since had it been held. 1t simply
throws the burden back onto North
to try no-trump If she has some
sort of questionable spade stopper,
or permits her to bid for game in
a minor If she thinks SUFFICIENT val
ues are held. North got into the
swing of raising partner and went
to four hearts. South at this point
got rather tired of bidding and
passed.
The eight of spades was opened
and two tricks cashed in the suit.
On the spade continuation South
ruffed with the four. This was
overruffed with the five, but there
were no more tricks for the defense.
Note that it would have done no
EOOu VO Tc1uSC W OSC4iuAAs @$S~
clarer would simply play three high
trumps and then run the high clubs,
leaving the defense with only one
trump trick, since East could never
again win the lead.
Il will be noted. too, q five-club
contract would have been doomed to
failure, because on the third round
Of spades South would be obliged to
ruff high and thus establish a trump
trick for West.
At the conclusion of the hand. the
lady from the South turned to me
with the comment. ST tried to bid
the hand the way you do. remem-
bered that you don't like any of the
conventions. but show your aces on
good hands. Did ! bid 1t well2" I
