Hagan jjj "The Eyes of the Navy" w Bevious to the World war the foiled States navy had relied to a great extent upon Importation from abroad for its supply of bi noculars and spy glasses. But the outbreak of the war reduced that source of supply, and when we got Into It the need for this essential on al- lied shipping. . The numerous contributions of sweaters, mufflers and other articles which added to the comfort of our men at sea suggested to the navy the Idea of issuing a patriotic call for the glasses. So a campaign was much-neede- d d started. Posters were distributed throughout the country asking for "Eyes of the Navy," as the slogan put it The result was that thou- sands of racing binoculars, night . V glasses, telescopes and spy glasses of every description poured in to the Navy depart- ment A total of 52,000 such "eyes" were received before the navy sent word that It had enough. A careful rec-owas made so that they could '""ff returned after the war.

Suddenly lie slammed on the brakes and his truck came to a jolting halt before the erect figure of a woman in the middle of the highway. There she stood immovable.

His progress remained blocked. The driver tried again, this time with something of Importance. "Allez I Allez, vite. Aw. h I, get Off the road, will you?" Still there was no reply. But across the road from within the yawning blackness of a tumbledown building came the sound of hoarse, uncouth American laughter. The truck driver struck a match and leaned toward the immobile figure.

Cape Town. Lost in the Indian ocean for 15 days with food and fuel exhausted, unable to make port owing to a faulty compass, was the experience that befell the steam trawler Fume, which arrived in Durham, after thrilling adventures, a short time ago. The Fume has already gained a wide reputation by the stories told of her by Commander J. E. better known by the nickname of "Cappy Ricks," and her adventures on fishing expeditions to the St. Brandon group of Islands, known as the "Isles of e, we had come too far south.

Then we used up all the old sacks we could find, also any other rubbish that would keep the fires going. "We were just on the point of burning the ship's boat when land was sighted after 15 days at sea. It was Madagascar, but what part of Madagascar we knew not. We sailed about 12 miles along the coast without seeing any sign of life, and then lay to for the night "Next day we veered toward the coast until about 2 p. m., when a small native boat put out from the shore. It was manned by about twenty natives. We asked how far off was Tamatave.

At last came the reply, but there still remained the problem of fuel to take the Fume to Fort Dauphin. Practically every ounce of coal had been used up. Natives were employed to cut down wood in the forest. This was green wood, and Nichols was not at all certain how it would go as fuel However, a start was made and all went well, the Fume ultimately fetching up in the harbor of Fort Dauphin. The ship's trouble was a defective compass. jit I Y Mrs. Jones I'm never going to play another game of cards. I threw the last pack of cards Into the stove this afternoon.
