had seemed interminable at

outcome had been somewhat

A naval officer naturally

In 1906 I was captain Of
the Panay, with 81 men
aboard, and commander of
the naval base at Polloc,
Mindanao. There were %
Marines at Polloc. I had
one foot ashore and one at

aboard the Panay. Those

War Scare in 'O7
Early in 1907 we had a war
scare. The story we heard
was that President Theodore
Roosevelt had called the
Japanese Ambassador into
the White House and told
him: IF your country wants
war, We'll give it to you"
I was ordered to bring the
Panay back to Cavite' and
report to Uriah Rose Harris,
the commander Of the naval
base. "Uriah Heap" we used
to call him.
There had been so much
talk of war with Japan that
when we approached Manila
Bay, I almost sent a landing
party ahead to see if we still
held the place. I was an
ensign by then, and % years
old.
I moored the Panay and

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:

Strengthened before he could

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have

THERE'S NO HARM in the
honey; but neither is there
any good. All you will be do

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
do you think of honey and
apple cider vinegar as a cure
for most diseases of the flesh

used honey, lemon juice and

There was as yet no crew.
There was no water, no pro-

II have been somewhat at
a loss to understand the atti-
tude of a great many of your
correspondents who appear
to look upon retirement as a
disgrace, a malady, or insult
to themselves" Mr.. K writes.
From my earliest memory
I have looked forward to
retirement. worked because
I had to. I never liked to.
"I would have much pre-
ferred roaming about the
world, seeing the wonders of
nature, visiting with the many
peoples of the earth, going
and coming as I pleased and
when I pleased. Having to
do what someone else ordered
and having to be at a certain
place at a certain time never
appealed to me.
MY wife shared my ideas
in this. And SO we both
worked, sometimes for others,
a long time in our own
business, and sometimes for
the Government. We saved
and invested carefully, hoping
that we would live long
enough and have enough to
enable us to quit work before
we became too old to enjoy
life.

now we will continue to do so
for many more years.
when I am asked what do
I do, I reply that I do just
whatever I want to and
whenever I please. We are
free as the birds. And we
like it. :"
There you have it-the
philosophy of an unusual
man. A title, prestige in the
working world, professional
status among friends and
neighbors and more money
don't figure in his thinking.
And the man has a point.
More people who are ap-
preaching retirement should
give five minutes of think
ing to the idea that they
really weren't put on this
earth to sit at a speakers
table. To be a success. To
make a lot of money. To get
into Who's Who.
Just what a person is put
here for must be decided by
ones own conscience. But
not entirely for the exquisite
pleasure of doing what some
body tells you to do in order
that the store might be
tended and a profit might
be made. It's necessary, yes,
if a person likes to eat reg
ularly. But hardly a divine
mission.
Job Yields Influence
The overpowering influence
always, of course, is the Job
and what it brings us. 1t
flows over into our evenings,
our week ends and our re-
tirement. After 10 or so
years of indoctrinatlon in
how the job makes the man,
we can't shake it.
Mr.. x shook 1T, if indeed
he ever felt it. So he has
whipped the first obstacle to
a good retirement. Has he
whipped the last one?

dozen or so warrant officers
gave me new hope. They said
they knew where the fittings
for the Decatur were stored
and promised to send them
out to us.
By the time I got back to
the Decatur another ensign,
a classmate, j. Morris Smeal-
lie, had arrived with five
more men. Smeallie is now
deceased. He wanted to be
the chief engineer, so I made
Allen executive officer.
Tackled the Task
We went right to work.
Barges started to arrive with
equipment, coal and water.
Every once in a while Smeal-
lie would bring up a basket of
old wrenches or other junk
he'd found in the boilers or
engines. The Decatur had
been run to death before it
had been left for junk.
We finally got up steam in
one boiler, but hadn't time
to test the engines.
Six hours before we were
due in dry dock, the flotilla
commander approached in
his flagship and shouted
through a megaphone. He
said we had to be under way
at once in order to reach our
destination before dark.
About that time a barge
unloaded some torpedo tubes
and torpedos.
We hadn't tested the en-
gine telegraphS.
Neither did we have a COM
pass.
Don't worry about a COM
pass" the flotilla commander
called. Follow U.S." We then
saw our pinnacle and compass
on a lighter and had it
brought to the bridge.
Astern Means Ahead
I had planned to back
away from the buoy, but
when I rang up one-quarter
speed aStern, the Decatur
drifted forward. When I rang
half speed astern, she moved
slowly ahead. Then I ordered
full speed astern and the
Decatur shot forward. The
engine telegraphs had been
reversed.
We followed the other ship
out of the bay and up the
coast of the Luzon PENN
sula, but before dark a rain
storm came hammering
down on us, the way they do
in the Philippines, and I
couldn't see the lead ship.
So, just inside Subic Bay
we dropped anchor for the
night. The next morning we
took the Decatur into float
ing dry dock. Two weeks
later she was unlocked. We
thought we were ready for
war with Japan.
Another point that gives
me a great deal of Satisfac-
tion over this incident con-
Germs something that hap
pened 81 years later. After
we reached the Philippines in
1914, I went ashore to
visit with Gen. Macarthur.
Some of the news reporters
asked me if I'd been in the
Philippines before. I told
about the Panay and the De-
catur and said that between
those two vessels I had seen
nearly every one of the 1,400
islands. I also told them a
story about a Moro chief
named Datu Piang, who used
to be my friend.
After the war, when I was
in Washington, an Army Of
ficer brought me a gift. 1t
was a kris, the Moro short
knife, that belonged to
Piang. 1t was from his son,
Maj. Datu Gumbay Piang
of the Philippines constabu-
larry. He had read the story
in the Manila newspapers.
Yes, I'll always remember
the Philippines, the Panay
and the time we had getting
the Decatur back in commits
sion.
