He got to his feet dazedly, listened a moment to the dead phone, and hung up. "Who was it, dear?" his wife called from the kitchen. "We were disconnected," he said. "But from the way the conversation started, I think it was your mother" Kraft A traveler hurried to an airline agent. "I just heard your line has been hit by a strike" he said worriedly. "Will I. have any J trouble flying to Los Angeles on schedule?" "Oh, no,"; the agent said calmly. "The strike affects only our pilots." lawn weeds th an any other weed killer !

The final two days were ones of almost ' The Violence Continues That night I. saw the pistolefos lined up in smart military fashion. "Someone important to those fellows must be Coming on board," I mentioned to Del. It turned out to be Gen. Humberto Delgado, in whose -- name - the-SaMaria had been., seized. He conferred into the night with Galvao No matter what their decision, their course was plotted for them when a Brazilian officer came aboard the next (and final) morning to negotiate the transfer . nta -- . of .passengers. The tourist-cla- ss passengers, whose existence had been pitiful, joined with the crew and stormed the first-cla- ss lounge where, the officer was meeting with Galvao. Del, Debbie, and I happened to be in the lounge when the mob surged puzzled onto the deck and crashed through a heavy restraining gate. A frightened pistolero, gun. drawn, guarded the double glass doors to the lounge. He motioned for the surging crowd to halt just as they engulfed him. The iweight of their numbers hurled him through the heavy plate glass that had been built to withstand tropical storms. Blood spurted . from deep gashes. Debbie screamed hysterically. I clutched her so tightly I nearly crushed her. It's happening, I thought. So close to the end, and it's happening! Before I 'could scream, the- - Brazilian Officer snouted something to the terrified mob, and they calmed down somewhat. Then Galvao said placatingly: "Be calm. .You're getting off right now." The crowd receded like a spent wave. Mob violence had been averted by the narrowest of margins. Even then there was no indication that we were actually getting off. We went to the dining room and were about to be served lunch when we were told that we were to transfer immediately to a tug - to - the alongside. Confusion last, but we didn't care. We were escaping 'v our prison of the last 11 days. As our Brazilian tugboat drew steadily closer to the dock, I. cast one backward glance at the Santa Maria. A lonely khaki-cla- d figure paced the bridge. I think it must have been Henrique Galvao. Even then, I felt little sympathy for the gaunt rebel leader who had endangered so many lives. And then we were stepping off the tug onto the dock. Our nightmare was over. about " unbearable anxiety. Three or four times we heard that we were getting off and went to prepare our things Each time, it was a false alarm. - Galvao had promised the crew that they could disembark with the passengers, but when they met on Wednesday, he changed his mind. When he told them, we heard an almost unhuman wail come from below decks.
