During our vovage the sea was rough, once especially, and that time if we had not been used to the sea we would have been afraid of sinking. The sea was rough and not to joke, sometimes the swell showed above the first deck and the first deck is almost 15 or 20 feet from the water. It is easy to see that the swell was beautiful. But it is the only time that happened and the ! others were there on the deck re- garding this and laughing. I haye said that the swell came up above the deck but it did not come on the deck. “One fine morning toward 5 o'clock, we were all sleeping when suddenly the cry “Everybody on Deck!" was heard.

There is'no gasoline more highly refined or more pow- erful than SOCONY. And it is the only gasoline which is always the same, wherever you-buy it.
