Freed UnceremOniOsuly

Just as father was about to cut the rope with his knife loud snap sounded followed by a deafening explosion an instant later
 The bowsprit had broken, free- ing the snagged rope and the sec- ond report was caused b van ex- ploding inflated seal skin float that was whipped against the water with such force that it burst.
 At the moment the bowsprit broke, the stern of the umiak fell back down on the water with a reSounding slap of the flat bottom of the umiak and the man that was shaken up badly was Uncle Nayu- kuk who took the shock on his rear section being the farthest man back.
 A minute or so later, after my father and his men collected their wits about them, they set out in pursuit of the wounded whale. By that time other whaling crews had seen the action of my fathers crew and came on to help
 Whale Taken
 The great animal was subdued finally. As it turned turtle, great shout arose form the combined voices of five whaling crews that assembled at the capture.
 Many seal skin floats were at- tached to the dead whale to keep it afloat and the slow job of tow ing began. The men sang and shout ed as they padded hard toward the anchored shore ice. Ahead of them lay two or more days and nights of hard work required to cut up giant whale.
 Ancient Custom
 According to custom handed down through the ages, the whale was awarded to the captain of the crew that first struck it whether that crew was present at the kill or not. In this case my father struck the animal and he and his crew were actively participating at the end.
 During the cutting, my fathers fuse bomb was found and he had planted it right on the target, on the thin bone on the temple. Had the bomb exploded it would have stopped the huge whale instantly.
 One Of Largest
 When the Ealeen, or whalebone. was measured the longest of them was found to be twelve and half feet in length, one of the largest whales ever taken in the history of the village.
 Other whales were taken that season and the population rejoiced upon their good fortune and in- patiently waited for the "kahqruq" the whaling celebration. an ancient custom performed when the season is over.
 Feat Told, Retold
 lllt lllIlc lllc pN'ASC'N was over that year, the narrowing experience of my father and his crew became one of the most talk ed about events of the ancient vll- lage. It want on like that for years afterwards.
 It was told and retold by the members of the crew, and, or course. my father although he and his men had no intention of be- Hitting Uncle Nayukuk. They and many other men in the village had respect of his ability as helms- man.
 Butt Of Joke
 It was the ordinary, the general run of people of the village. un- justly I thought, that made him the butt of the joke as the "man who steered the umiak in the air"
 If Uncle Nayukuk thought that he had been wronged he never made any attempt to right it. He kept right on living his own way or life seemingly unaware Of the

 Fine Maneuver
 This was the moment the crew commenced to bear down on their paddles in unison paced by the har- boomer in powerful effort to over take the whale. Extreme care was taken by the men not to touch the gunwhale, or any part of the umiak with their paddles, because that would make a drumming noise easily heard by the keen-eared mammal and frighten him away.
 Nayukuk eXpertly manevuered the umiak to the right side of the whale. My father preferred that side which he considered advan- tageous< when he struck at his fla vorite target, the spot just behind the eye, or the temple, where the bone was thin.
 A moment before the strike Uncle Nayukuk placed the craft to that precise area. The position of the umiak was at around AS degree angle in relation to the nose and flukes position of the whale.
 MonstrOus Whale
 As was mentioned earlier this particular whale was of monStrouS size. My father struck and hit the mark, as they discovered later, but the fuse bomb turned out to be dud The point penetrated the bone but that was all.
 (The fuse bomb is fired into the target with a powder charge. The Eskimos acquired the weapons, darting gun and shoulder gun, from professional whalers back in the 1880's. Before that time, they used whale harpoons and the targets were usually the kidneys or wher- ever internal bleeding resulted. They shied away from the heart be- cause that target made the animal react with great violence0
 The Strike
 At the moment of the strike the great whale bumped it's monstrous back and the mountain of black protruded from the water as the whale sounded in swirling mass of foam. It then whipped out it's massive flukes in a great kick to dive into the sea.
 At the impact of the strike the crew backed off distance as the heavy hemp harpoon line at the bow began to uncoil and whip around with dizzying speed as the whale sounded
 Unexpected Snag
 Then it happened! the whipping line caught at the bowsprit and the umiak suddenly darted forward under the unplanned tow of the submerging whale. The tension and the speed increased as the whale sounded deeper and deeper.
 All of this happened in seconds, but to the men in the umiak it seemed an eternity. At once my father started to tug to free it but the snag wedged so tightly it was impossible. AS he frantically work ed the rushing water started to stream into the umiak. The fury and power of the diving whale was taking the boat under with it!
 Unforgetable Picture
 My father whipped his hand around to his right hip to pull out his knife so he could cut the rope and as he did so he took mo- mentary glance back at the stern. What he saw was an unforgetable picture. Father took particular re- fish of telling of the incident years afterwards and it never failed to make him and his listeners laugh.
 He related: "When glanced back, the stern of the umiak was clear off the water, quite high, and as we were speeding forward by our bow and waving. there was Nayukuk frantically trying to reach the water

 It was the ordinary, the general run of people of the village, un- justly thought, that made him the butt of the joke as the "man who steered the umiak in the air"
 If Uncle Nayukuk thought that he had been wronged he never made any attempt to right it. He kept right on living his own way or life seemingly unaware of the sighting remarks.
 Perhaps, somehow, he knew that he would someday vindicate him. self by doing most prodigious per- formance that was ever done by any man in his village. -f3

President Is Grove
After Hospital Visit

bulletin from Cape Cod that
Mrs. Kennedy was flying to the
providentially prepared emer-
gency quarters at Otis, the
President was entering a he'll
icopter on the south lawn.
His secretary, Mrs. Evelyn
Lincoln, bundled up the papers
on her desk in such a hurry
that hours later she found her
self carrying around a huge
picture of the President which
someone had sent in to be au-
tographed.
When she arrived at Otis,
Mrs. Lincoln scurried off and
bought herself another dress
at the post exchange.
Despite the furry and anxiety
of the day of Patrick Bouvier's
birth, she remained calm and
optimistic.
When someone was bemoan-
ing the cloud that had fallen
over the happy news that Mrs.
Kennedy had been safely de-
livered she said stoutly, ooh,
he's a Kennedy, he'll pull
through"

Arlene Heads
For Bermuda,
Gains Force

MIAMI. Fla, Aug. 8 (AP).-
Tropical storm Arlene re-
gained full hurricane force to-
day and the Miami Weather
Bureau forecast that it would
strike BERN uda tomorrow
morning.
A noon advisory said Ar
lene's winds were UP to rs
miles an hour near the center
and might increase before
reaching the British colony.
The hurricanes center was
near latitude 28.9 north, longi-
tude 69.3 west. or $50 miles
southwest of Bermuda and SIS
miles east Of Daytona Beach,
Fla. II was moving toward the
northeast at a slow 6-mile-an-
hour pace.
Highest winds were clicked
by reconnaissance aircraft
near the center. Gale winds
reached outward $50 miles
from the center in all direc-
lions.
The hurricane was expected
TO increase its forward move
ment TO about IL miles an hour
during the next IL hours. The
forecast track would bring the
center probably a little TO the
northwest Of Bermuda.
Arlene has kept weather
forecasters guessing from the
time she was first penetrated
by a hurricane hunter aircraft
August 2. about 1900 miles
east-southeast OF Miami. She
was then a 100-mile-an- hour
storm.

Dr.. Walsh Had F Foresight
To Plan Cope Vocation
BY the Associated Press

Once again. it was DR.. John
w. Walsh. SO, a quiet, friendly
Washington obstetrician, who
delivered a presidential son to
Mrs. John F.. Kennedy.
1t was DR.. Walsh who an
nounced mother and baby do
ing fine" to newsmen, after
John F. Kennedy, jr., was born
prematurely in November, 1860.
DR.. Walsh and DR.. Janet
Travel, White House physician,
had looked over facilities in
the Cape Cod area this summer
just in case Mrs. Kennedy's
third baby came prematurely,
too. They proved foresighted.
When he left his office here
the last of July, DR.. Walsh told
his secretary only that I'm
going on vacation; I'll be back
the last of August" He has
been in the Cape Cod area
where Mrs. Kennedy is spend
ing her summer vacation. AS
doctors arrange it, another
doctor has been tending to his
practice here.
DR.. Walsh has a busy prac-
tice, with an office downtown
and another in suburban Mary
land. Those who work for him
describe him as quiet, nice,
friendly.
Reporters, too, remember
the patience with which he
answered their myriad ques-
tons after John, jr., was born.
At one time he told a group
OF women reporters who had
thanked him for his patience,
We'll, you girls had your job
to do"
He was modest about being
doctor to the First Lady and
delivering her first son. "It
was a tremendous privilege"
he said. I'm delighted to be
able to help out"
Mrs. Kennedy has been a
patient Of DR.. Walsh since
