All the same, Maureen had made up her
mind to go. 1t was silly to be afraid in broad
daylight But either the directions had been
foggy or she had forgotten them, and appar-
emily Suleyman was common name in Port
Said. When having wandered about for the
best part of half an hour, she found herself
lost on chessboard of narrow native streets
with no white face in sight, she had sudden
attack of nerves. Perhaps she had been crazy,
after all, to wander into the Arab quarter by
herself. And she hadn't the faintest idea of
the way back!

were millions of flies. Although the sky above
was dazzling blue, these streets were filled
with mysterious shadows.
Oily-faced traders seated in cavernous shops
leered at her openly. One, fat. sinister
jeweler, tried to force her inside. His touch
made Maureen shudder
She almost ran toward the open door of
little mosque and was turning in when good
looking Arab boy appeared mysteriously be-
side her.
Lady not to be afraid. My name Ali
Mahmoud. Lady want to buy scarab ring?
Very old, very cheap
Maureen hesitated, looking anxiously into
the Arab boys face, then back at the fat
jeweler who stood in the street watching
them. She was desperately tempted to ask
the boy to lead her to the ship. but stub

Maureen was still doubtful but almost me-
chanically, she followed Ali Mahnoud. Five
minutes later, to her intense relief, she found
herself in front of Suleyman's shop. She
sighed gratefully, handed the boy his promised
dollar, and ''If you can find me taxi" she
said, ''I'll give you another"
'Taxicab, my lady? 60. Give me dollar
now - or taximan won't come. You wait in

Maureen gave him another dollar.
Don't be long" she said.
She went into the shop, composure quite
restored. And Suleymans proved to be even
more fascinating than described. The place
was mere hole in the wall, but the interior
concealed an Ali Babas cave, except that its
treasures were tinsel. Maureen saw statuettes
of Nile gods, scarab rings and necklaces,
Bedawi slippers cunningly embroidered, and
boxes filled with most unusual dress jewelry
wrinkled old woman who wore what
looked like brass anchor chain around her
neck sat in an armchair. Her heavy-lidded
eyes scarcely moved as Maureen came in.
There was smell of sandalwood.
Maureen took out piece of green dress
material and pair of earrings she had bought
at Simon Arzt's. The match was not good
one but it was the best she had been able to
manage.
''Have you some beads anything like this?"

rings.

Maureen began to inspect a most astonish-
ing collection of bead and glass necklaces
which lay in cardboard box. They ranged
from Egyptian enamel to gaudy paste dia-

at last which, although altogether too gaudy,
seemed more nearly to match the earrings
than anything so far discovered.

"Oh! But haven't time! The ship sails

u. S. War Risk Insurance.
Asked on Merchant Ships
BY the Associated Press

The Maritime Administration
told a congressional committee
yesterday that recent events make
it imperative that the Govern
ment be empowered to write war
risk insurance on merchant ships.
The administrations views were
given to the House Merchant Ma
rine Committee by John T.
Koehler, acting administrator.
The committee is considering a
bill to give the Government stand
by power to write war risk in
surance on merchant ships in the
event of war.
Mr.. Koehler said the CONNER
cial companies that usually write
the insurance are unable to pro-
vide it in time of war, and present
policies have automatic cancella-
ton clauses which are invoked at
the outbreak of hostilities.
"The cost of war risk insur-
ance for voyages to the Korean
area has materially increased" he
said,4 adding that if a. situation
arises. causing invocation OF the
automatic cancellation clauses,
ships at sea would. seek the near
est safe port unless insurance pro-
lection was available.
