For a while it seemed as though we’'d have to find some nice quiet nook and stand the vessel up on her hind legs. Then the pilot became inspired, and informed us he knew just the place they were looking for. For 11 miles he piloted us through a narrow fiord toward the interior. Sheer walls of rock 2,000 feet high shut out the sun. We seemed to be heading straight for the Plutonic regions. But at length, turning an abrupt corner, we entered a small, open bay, and there sure enough was a minia- ture shelving beach of small rounded stones. For the next six days we called this place “home.” All efforts to repair the schooner proved futile. She was dragged up on the beach as far as bad language and a couple of ropes would take her, but the best we could do was to work her into a position where at low tide she heeled over in about 4 feet of water, which removed all chance of reaching the worst lac- erations with a caulking tool. Her leaks began to look like permanent institutions. While all this was taking place, we camped on shore and communed with nature. ‘Then one evening two launches crowded with people rounded the point. This was more traf- fic than we had seen since leaving the East River in New York, so it all seemed very im- pressive. There were sailors in uniform and _ officers in gold braid, while on top of the cabin of what appeared to be the flagship of the squadron stood a short man in riding boots. “He’s forgotten something,” said the taxi- dermist as we watched them approach. “What?"” asked the doctor. 9 Seat of the 31 Tried. affections. 33 Coasts. 10 Sin. 34 Bodly joint. 11 Existed. 36 Side piece of a 17 Shop. barrel. 19 Utter. 37 Skating arenas. 20 Extra part. 39 Engine of 22 Twenty. destruction. 23 Pitcher. 40 Italian coins. 24 Act. 41 First garden. 25 Be afraid. 42 Exclamation. 26 Tardy. 43 Stuff. 44 Armed conflict. 47 College degree. 27 Breaks suddenly. 30 Rise to the feet, “His horse,” answered the cowboy. But the matter was never clearly decided, for at that moment the launch drew alongside and with great agility the short man clambered to our sloping deck. “My name is Rasmussen,” he said, “and this is Capt. West of the Danish patrol boat Icee land Falk. The Danish government has heard of your difficulty and instructed the captain to proceed north until he found you and offer every assistance within his power. My steamer was late in reaching South Greenland, so, though I missed you at Disco Island, I was for- tunate enough to catch the patrol boat.” Then we all bowed from the waist. Our troubles were over! HE next morning about 20 sailors appeared with a couple of pontoons and a complete diving outfit. In this the chief petty officer was armed capapie and let down in to the icy water of the fiord. For two days he tapped away on the bottom of the schooner and then pronounced her cured. Though he dressed for the occasion in heavy woolen stockings and wore mittens, at the end of every hour he was dragged to the surface in a state of blue frigid- ity. Then he was taken into the galley and thawed out with schnapps. When he became pliable enough to berd easily he was let down for another spell. The bottle of schnapps and repairs were finished simultaneously. We headed back for the land of the free. When we were off the yellow sandspits that clothe the tip of Cape Cod, we suddenly found ourselves looking down the muzzle of a rapide fire gun mounted on a Coast Guard patrol boat. Our engine was ordered shut off. The patrol boat came up against our stern in such’a posie tion she could rake us, yet avoid any broade side we might be contemplating. Two heavily armed officers sprang aboard, demanded our papers and searched us for liquor. We were home. (Copyright, 1930.) Try to Prove It.
