DID you ever notice, boys and girls, that in all the stories you about shipwrecks and storms at sea you never seem to hear anything about the fellows who get the worst of it? I mean the boys down below decks in the engine room. Harry Helgesen of Brooklyn, N. Yn tells us about what the "black gang" Is up against In a storm at sea. He ought to know, too. Harry is a licensed marine engineer In steam and Diesel. Harry's big thrill came when he was assistant engineer on the auxiliary steam yacht Ulvlra on a hard luck cruise In the Atlantic The cruise started from Brooklyn for southern waters on February 8, 1934, but they never got very far south. The bad luck started the very first day, Harry says, when the ship grounded on Roamer's shoals In the channel. The crew of ama-teur and professional sailors finally got her afloat again and the ship came back to port and went into drydock for Inspection. The hull was found O. K. but they had lost a couple of days. When the Sea Kicks Up There Really Is a Mess. The next start was made In a snow flurry and everything went fine until they got to the open sea. Once there the sails were run up and the engines cut off. Down in the engine room the "bluck gang" was get-ting things ship-shap- e. Now when an auxiliary yacht is under sail things are generally easy for the boys under decks, but Just as they were about to bank the fires, Harry says, the chief mate came down and said they were in for "a bit of a blow." And a "bit of a blow" was putting it mildly. Wham! a storm from the north slapped the Ulvlra with a broadside that nearly turned her over. In a second all was busy as a beehive in the engine room. "Full steam ahead" came the order from the bridge, and Harry and Ills gang went Into action. Death Signs on the Ulvira's Cruise. Harry ran up on deck to get the smoke stack hoisted. The stack had been let down when the sails were run up and they needed more draft On deck all was confusion. A boom had snapped under the strain of the gale and the sail and boom were hanging over the side and into the water like a sea anchor. And that wasn't all. Hubert Kuechenmelster, a young Northwestern university student and amateur sailor, had been swept overboard. The huge waves breaking over the rail made rescue Impossible. Death had signed on the cruise of the Ulvlra ! Harry got his stack up and hurried down the ladder to his station. What he had seen on deck wasn't very encouraging, but his job was below decks, and he went to It. Those engines had to get going or the boat and all on it would be lost. The engine room by now was a mess. The boat was pitching heavily, Harry says, and the huge seas shipped at each pitch started coming down through the bunker plates, hatches and deck houses and filling the bilges with water. "We started the pumps," Harry writes, "but the ashes stirred up by the water kept clogging the strainers and the water kept rising. The engines were going full blast but we didn't know bow long that would The Water Kept Rising Toward the Fire. keep up. The boiler plates started leaking from the forcing they were getting and the water In the hold was up to the engine cranks. As soon as the water reached the fires we were through." And the water kept rising. It was swishing across the floor like It does In a ship's pool on a rough day. Anything that floated became menace as It sailed back and forth at breakneck speed with the action of the ship. In all this dirty water full of ashes and debris, Harry and a fireman spent an hour "diving." Diving In an engine room means going under the water to free the strainer from the debris drawn In by (be suction of the pumps. How Would You Like to Dive Into Slimy Water? Just Imagine diving In that slimy water wondering If you were going to be swept up against the hollers and scalded to death 1 Up on deck another fight was going on against the elements as the ship reeled under the shocks of the gigantic waves, but our story is below decks and below decks we stay. The four men In the black gang fought the advancing water for 24 long hours without relief. Once the captain came down and asked If they wanted more men, but the chief engineer knew that a greenhorn would only be in the way and asked for a bottle of rum instead. The rum came down and Harry says it saved the lives of everybody on that ship. The rum gave the exhausted men new life and for the next two hours they worked like madmen. The high point of the water was only eight Inches from the boilers. Another Inch and it would be the boats, and the boats could never live In a sea like that. But that extra inch never came. Instead, the four men watch-ing the water in the ash pits suddenly let up a weak cheer. The water had stoppedl The pumps were at last holding their own I After Death's Vigil the Black Gang Got Hungry. Well, sir, the gang realized then that they were hungry. Harry climbed perilously up the ladder to the deck to search for food. The galley was a watersoaked mixture of food-stuff- s and kitchen utensils that slid back and- forth across the floor with every movement of the ship. The ship's cook was gone seasick. And the galley fires were long since dead. But that black gang had to eat so Harry fished up a side of bacon and finding some eggs unbroken In the ice box be managed to snare a frying pan and carried" his prizes down the ladder again. The U. S. Coast Guard to the Rescue! Two men braced hlr then as he held the frying pan over a shovel full of live coals. Harry admits it was the best meal he ever tasted in his life. He admits, though, that he has had bet-ter service. They picked the food out of the pan with their hands and had coal dust for salt and pepper but it tasted swell. Then came the coast guard and towed the disabled yacht Into Nor-folk, Va., and the mid-winte- bard luck cruise of the Ulvlra was history e WNU 8rvlo. , NOT In the box score.

Fellas From South Won't Keep Giants From Third Position THERE may be no truth to the that Eddie Brannick, the singing secretary, has been warned to get off the River Shan-non and to concentrate upon the Suwanee In all his future vocal-izing. Likewise there may be soma overstatement In the report that no Uiants' rally henceforth can start until Horace Stoneham rears up In his presidential box and , emits the rebel yell. Yet while I am not hinting that Brooklyn fans could do themselves a lot of good next summer by sub-stituting "Marching Through Geoi-gla- " for their equally celebrated version of the llronx cheer one thing Is certain.

Tfce Romance of Your Name By RUBY HASKINS ELLIS A Gardiner? watchword of the THE and Gardlners, 'Traesto pro patrlo" ("I stand for my coun-try"), aa their history will show, has been like a burning torch held high In every generation of this splendid family. The principal family of Gardlners In this country derive their descent from Lion Gardiner, a native of Scotland, who served under Gen-eral Fairfax as an engineer In the Low Counties. He was sent to America In 1G35 by the Lords Say, Sele and Brooke, to build a fort on their grant of land at the mouth of the Connecticut river. This he did and called the fort Saybrook, In honor of his patrons. His eld-est son, David, born in Saybrook in 1CJG, was the first white child born In the Connecticut colony. Lion Gardiner bought from the Indians an Island In Long Island sound, called by the English Isle of Wight, paying for it a black dog, a gun and some Dutch blankets. Here he settled with his family and called it "Gardiners Island." This island remained in possession of the family for many generations. The original Gardners and Gardl-ners seem to have used the same coat of arms and both spellings of the name, so It is believed that In the beginning they were the same family. Even in America, both houses use the same arms. The above reproduction represents the arms of Joseph Gardiner of Rhode Island. lie enme to America by way of Holland in 1C50 or 1C51. Ills father was Sir Thomas Gardiner, who fought In the army of Charles L A Graham? FEW Indeed are the families who boast of a name of greater antiquity or historical mown than the Grahams. The name is Scotch and Is derived from one Greme, who was regent of Scotland during the minority of Eugene II, In the year 419. Greme took his name from the Anglo-Saxo- n "grim," meaning surly or sullen, not a very attractive at-tribute, but perhaps they Inter-preted it as one having a stern and courageous look. The story is that the founder of the family f Greme, a great war-rle- r, breached the wall which fore-ran the Roman occupation of Scot HiiN.uoinTiniiiiiuiuimHuniiraiiiinililllNnMliillliilliiiiii!iijiiiiaIuinill!l!lllliie vllll OraW land. In later times a chieftain of the Grahams was a loyal supporterof Sir William Wallace, who succeed-ed In freeing Scotland from the English yoke, and at the famous battle of Fodden Field the loyal head of the house of Graham fell by the side of bis king. This family has always been a powerful one In its native Scot-land, owning many vast estates, lordships and dukedoms and earl-doms. The earl of Montrose was allied with the Stuart cause and paid the penalty with his life on the scaffold in 1CCO. In Scotland "the great Montrose" is an Imper-ishable memory of Its history. The plaid of the Grahams (all prominent Scottish families be-longed to a clan and each clan had Its characteristic plaid) Is In blue, black and gray. Their war cry was "Klllecranle," and their badge was laurel Among the earliest American set-tie- rs of this family was Benjamin Graham, who located in Hartford. Conn. James Graham was an attor-ney general, of Boston, Mass.

Wrestling With Scowls Still Sport in Japan Among the few surviving old sports in Japan, wrestling still re-tains all the color and ceremony of the past In the ring, Samuel II.

If either is up-set by the scowl of the other, he calls for time out, each returns to his corner, sips water and starts all over again. Wrestlers finally called for so much time out that It was limited to a total of 12 minutes. It's Funny Why la It that your crony gets "real boiling mad" about something" It makes you laugh?
