"Once these facts are In my hands," said Mr. Roosevelt, "they will receive Immediate attention In order to make Impossible the things you say will be done, because I am Just as much opposed to them as you are."

HOLLYWOOD. Calif. Well all 1 know Is Just what I read in the papers, or what I learn as I talk to i sailors. You know there alnt much smarter old boy than the one that has spent his lifetime, from about 14 M onto banging the mast of an old a q -- r 'MA ink n -rrlh old, yeara 1 ft Hi d . u ar e v, Iff - , ship. rigged Thats the old ,'Lw.U.J s I Bullor8 tnat BCQ till liivBv yu- 1ttD- senger boats now, but that got their start on the windjammers. They have been In every port In the world. And everyone of em kinder longs for the tough old days when they was three months rounding the Horn. Course all of us in any line of business are like that. We are always yapping about the "Old Days" and how we look away back and enjoy It, but I tell you there is a lot of huey to it. There is a whole lot of all our past lives that wasent so hot. American boys never took to the ocean so much. Lots of the New England ones from around Maine did, but the old Inland boy, those old oceans were made to read about, but not to prowl around on. Our boya make fine sailors when they will sail, but they want their sailing to be In a roadster. While the hardy youth of the world was going aloft to trim the mast, and adjust the Jig boom, (maby I am wrong, chances are I am) well while they was doing that, our lads were working on their carburators, and everybody trying to go to college and come out a bond salesman. An fwful lot of the rest of the world went out to get a practical education, while we was trying to cram Latin and Greek down youths that would never In all their lives have any use for lt. I was out on deck awhile ago, and they were cleaning out the life boats. That dident make me feel any too good. I thought maby they was expecting something. Now here is something I dident know before just how the modern ships try to work it in case of accident. Their boats hold 60 apiece. Then there is a big powered launch, in fact two of em. When these life boats are able to row away from the sinking ship they are supposed to stay out there cruising around, and these powerful launches come by and pick up a tow line from a life boat, then pull it along till they come to another one, then it fastens onto the first life boat, and so on and ou till they try to have the whole bunch of life boats in tow behind the launch. Now this launch gathering these up was all news to me, but thats the way it is supposed to work, that is everything going oft according to the steamship rules. Of course there is one little hitch in all these plans. Its not a very large hitch, but its of enough Importance that it might casually be mentioned, and that is the condition of the sea at the time the enterprise takes place. If the sea is doing enough to wreck a boat, it is liable to be doing enough to keep any Immediate assembling from taking place. You can get your life boat over behind a wave from some other one, and its like being over another mountain range, you wont see him for weeks. Every once In awhile you might be sighted on the top of one of these Aquatic Mountain tops, but before lifeboat, launch, or even Amos and Andy by radio can get to you, you have dropped down Into the canyon again. Thats one thing that makes the sea interesting. vft" h m w A LA imm,mtmm;(- 3iJ t) iTtastfi fr - J 1 William O. H.
