Fill up the longest, tallest glasses you can find fill up one for each of the thirty thousand members of the Adventurers club and still you wont be drinking as big a toast as the , one Alex himself almost drank. ' Alex started working on a tall, cool one that was 20 feet long and 12 feet high. And no lemon juice or sugar in it, either. It was only by the sheerest luck that he managed to get out of finishing that cocktail, too. Boys and girls, its a lulu of a story. It happened in school. Alex wasnt going to that school to get a cranium of knowledge, though. He was there for the good hard cash there was in it Maybe the fact that the school was In Scotland had something to do with that It was In the year 1922, and Alex, who was , just a kid then, had nailed himself a ob as apprentice with a boiler repairing firm In the Scottish town of Glasgow. Trapped Inside a Rapidly Filling Boiler. They were working on a huge boiler in the basement of the Clydebank public school. There were three of them on that job Alex, his boss and an Inspector. The Inspector had climbed out of the boiler room and gone home. Alexs boss bad decided that theyd done enough work for the day and had climbed out after him to telephone the shop. Alex was going to wait until the boss came back from telephoning so they could both go home together. While he waited, be pulled a copy of a Diamond Dick novel out of his pocket and sat down beside a guttering candle to read. ' In a few minutes he had forgotten that he was sitting inside a stuffy old boiler. He was out on the open prairie, following Diamond Dick through a series of adventures that would curl the quills of a porcupine. He didnt realize . In a Frenzy He Pounded on the Metallic Wall. that In another minute or iwo hed be going through a real, adventure of bis own an adventure that would make all of Diamond Dicks honest-to-goodnes- s exploits look like so many pink tea parties. The next thing Alex knew, there was a tremendous rush of water at the far end of the boiler. He jumped, and the candle beside him rolled to the floor and went out Alex looked up then, for the daylight that should be streaming through the manhole in the top of the boiler but the big tank was black as night. His boss had come back and, thinking Alex had gone home, had replaced the manhole cover and started to fill jthe boiler up. Alex lost his head then. He rushed to the front of the boiler and began hammering on It with his bare fists. That didnt do any good. The noise of the pump outside drowned any sound he might make that way. , In a frenzy of fear he ran to the pipe through which the water was coming and made a futile attempt to stop the flow with his hands. That didnt get him anywhere either, but the cold water that dashed in his face sort of brought him to his senses, and he started telling himself to keep a level head. ' The Deadly Water Kept Pouring In. "My breath, he says, "was coming in sobs. I remembered that I '' had left a hammer and chisel at the other end of the boiler, and I started back to get them. That boiler was just twenty feet long, but it seemed like twenty miles. The water was getting higher every minute, ; but I finally made it, found the hammer and started pounding on the ' sides. I pounded hard enough to loosen the rivets, but still the water came pouring in. Nevertheless, I kept on pounding. I knew there must be someone outside to shut the water off when it reached the gauge level. That wasnt much comfort, though, because by the time the water reached the gauge level, It would be a foot over my head. Another few' minutes, and Alex began to get dizzy. The pressure caused by the inrush of water was going to his head. Still, he pounded away not because he thought it would do any good, but because, in his terror, he didnt think to stop. - The Grim Reapers Scythe Nearly Fell. Fearsome thoughts were going through his mind. What would his mother say when he didnt come home that night? Would anybody ever find him? What would happen when they lit the fire in the morning? and It was then," says Alex, that I went insane. I started screaming I seemed to boiler. of the wall iron the at hands rusty tearing with my bare hear voices outside saying, Hold on, Alex Ill get you! But 1 was too far water had stopped gone to realize what it meant I hadnt even noticed that the the next thing and in senses 1 somewhere there, lose to seemed my coming in. I knew, 1 was lying on my back, out in the school yard. yes Alexs boss had dragged him out of that boiler unconscious. He had fallen In a faint and had taken so much water Into bis lungs that the boss had to give him artificial respiration before he came to. Alex is a grown man now, but he still has nightmares about that horrible fifteen minutes when he was trapped in a filling boiler. -- WNU Service. - - ' Big Wind in Ireland One of the worst storms that ever occurred in Ireland began on January 6, 1839 and lasted for two days and nights along the Irish and English coasts.
