The trip home aboard the liner
America was smooth until the day
before it landed, then suddenly q
storm broke right at lunchtime.
Everybody on board would have
been badly tossed about If :. the
ships crew hadn't put ropes up
everywhere and dashed the chairs
to the tables after the guests had
been seated. They even poured
water on the tablecloths in an
effort to keep the dishes from
sliding about so easily. But with
all these precautions, several peo-
pie broke a leg or an arm. The
Youngs, however, were lucky.
They were not hurt and had only
the inconvenience of arriving in
New York day later than they'd
planned.
