PAGE THREE Big Tent Draws Favorable Verdict From Douglas r -'- ' Tff-i- rn 'awiwji..pii. as ADVENTURERS' CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YO U R S E L F I "Fog of Death" HELLO EVERYBODY: sir, the Vikings of old used to sail the seas in oared galleys that were hardly bigger than the motor cruisers in which we plough through our lakes and rivers today. I'll give them a lot of credit for their nerve. But they had oars to row with and sails to carry them along. They knew where they were going and they had a pretty good chance of getting there. I'm betting a lot that there wasn't a Viking in any age who would have put himself in the spot Peter Gear of Sunnyside, L. I., found himself in. Not for any amount of money. It happened in September, 1927 and here's how. Pete got a job on a coal barge. And one of the first trips that barge was sent on after Pete joined the crew, was a tow out to sea with a load of coal for a ship that was to meet them a hundred and ninety-fiv- e miles out in the Atlantic. The rendezvous at which they were to meet was southeast of Block island. A tug was to take the barge out. Five men composed the barge's crew. Four of those fellows Pete included bad never been out to sea before. The fifth man was a regular seagoing bargeman. Trip Was Like a Moonlight Excursion. On the afternoon of the day appointed, the tug came along and the Pete says the trip up Long Island sound barge was hooked on behind was like a moonlight excursion. But after they passed Montauk Point, the sea was mighty rough. The four landlubbers immediately got seasick. it How Franking Started Weight and Gravity franking of the mail was brought to the American colonies from England, and among the earliest acts of the Continental congresses were provisions for its continuance.

Neglecting the resistance of thd air, a heavy object and a light object will fall to the earth with the same velocity. It was originally thought that the velocity of a freely falling body was proportional to its weight. Galileo, however, demonstrated that this was not so, by dropping various bodies from the top the leaning tower of Pisa. It was discovered that light and heavy bodies reached the earth War Secretary's " LsIwaxi court-martia- y", -- l. .. , William O.

The tugboat captain told the bargeman to drop anchor and he would circle around and see if he could find the. other boat. He cast off the tow line and the tug steamed away. Soon it was out of sight. There was nothing in sight, as a matter of fact, but water and more water. They were nearly two hundred miles from the nearest land. Then, half an hour later, a thick fog settled down over the anchored barge. Says Pete: "We were lying in our bunks, too sick to move, when the regular bargeman came in and told us about the fog. He explained that we were anchored in the shipping lane, and that was a dangerous position. We would have to keep the fog bell ringing as long as the fog lasted. Otherwise we would most likely be run down by one of the liners which were continually passing through that part of the ocean." And that was only the beginning. The troubles crowded thick and fast after that It was night now, and the bargeman went aloft to hang The United States is the greatest beer producing country in the world, according to latest available figures.

Midshipman Spencer, son of a secretary of war, Boatswain Samuel Cromwell and Seaman Elisha Small were suspected of mutiny on the brig Somers in 1842. Alexander Sll dell Mackenzie was in command, and they were executed. Midship man Spencer's father was secretary of war, and there was a great deal of sympathy for him and amazement at the extreme act of disci pline, but the command was exonerated by a court of inquiry and It was a hard night for those lads but it was going to be lot harder before they got back. The next day, when they arrived at the appointed spot, there was no sign of the boat they Pete picked him np and carried him to his bunk. The other three men were still lying in their bunks, the ghastly pallor of seasickness on their faces. When he had done what little he could for the injured man, Pete went ont and started ringing the fog bell. The night wore on, and the fog showed no sign of lifting. Pete yanked away rythmically on that bell, tolling a monotonous dirge. His arm was getting tired. His hand was chafing from its constant contact with the bell rope. Every minute he expected to see the bow of an ocean liner ' looming over the barge. Every minute he expected to hear a thud and a crash of splintering timbers as some huge craft cut them in two. Pete began to feel that he couldn't hold his arm np to pull on that bell rope any longer. He went into the cabin and tried to ronse one of the seasick men. Not one of them would get np. Pete was seasick himself, bat these fellows felt a lot worse. In vain he told them of the dangers of leaving that bell unmanned. They didn't care whether the barge went down or not. In fact, one or two of them hoped it would. Pete dragged himself back to the bell. He was sick sleepy aching. But he couldn't quit. His life depended on it. And so did the lives f those other four men in their banks. Dawn came, and still he was Jerking away on that rope. Still the fog hadn't lifted. AU morning long all afternoon he stack to his post. Both his hands were so raw now that he had to book his elbow through the bell rope and poll it with his arm. Night came and still Pete was at it His whole body was stiff now. He ached in every muscle and joint and bone. His arm was working mechanically now. He scarcely realized that he was pulling that cord. Pete Rings Bell for 36 Hours Straight. And for two nights and a day Peter rang that bell. Never will he forget the nightmare of that experience. On the morning of the third day he couldn't take it any longer. He didn't quit He just fell asleep-ri- ght where be was from sheer exhaustion. When Pete awoke again the sun was just disappearing over the western horizon. But the fog had lifted. There was no sign of the tug. When the fog came down it had been unable to find the barge and it still hadn't found it AU that third night they waited. On the fourth day Pete sighted a plane. It circled around in the skies and then beaded ' Back toward land again. "When it turned around," says Pete, "I thought that pilot hadn't seen as." Bat the plane had spotted the barge. It had bean sent oat from New London for that very purpose. And on the fifth day the tug boat came eat and reclaimed its lost tow. It didn't take Pete long to get over the effects of his adventure. Now he looks back on it as quite an exciting experience. There's one thing, though, that makes Pete mad. He worked himself to exhaustion trying to keep some vessel from sending that barge to the bottom. "But in all that time," he says, "I didn't see a single one of those big liners that I was in such fear of." Department of Justice Son Executed . " v. - t .."
