Ilach detail of the ship's plight, cach call for ald, was supplemented the jesting comment of the radio man, whose identity still s unknown. He talked as if he were going on a lark in port, instead of to the bottom of the sea. His last mes- sage, a disjointed one, was a series of witticism—with death as the butt of the joke.

Captain Hans Jorgenson ordered his ship about and he steam- ed slowly toward the Grontoft. Meanwhiie, Radio Operator Han- sen engaged the operator of the Grontoft in conversation. The latter sent out first the following—a stereo- typed irony of the seas: “God pity the poor sailors on a night like this.”” Then followed n series of “ha ha.” “And say,”” he continued, “the Old Man thinks this weather will be over by night fall. - We sure need nome breeze.

This is no weather for a fellow to be out in without an umbrella.” “Hold on,” returned the Kstonia's wireless, “we’ll be alongside soon.” The Grontoft did not reply until forty minutes Jater.
