MARJORIE GILLESPIE, an interior decorator, and a commercial artist, PAULINE GEIGNER, were seated on the divan sipping tea and listening to the music, where they were joined by BERNICE PETRAUSKI, a Michigan Avenue seamstress. AS THE MUSIC ceased in the grand ballroom, HELEN MURANY, the profes- sional model, escorted by JOI-IN EBNER, the notorious banana buyer, gracefully walked across the floor to the Captain's table. They were greeted by the Cap- tain, the purser, EDWARD DAY and a line of verse from JULIUS CAESAR CHAP. With the rolling of drums, ten flashing beauties appeared on the dance floor. Keeping in step with BETTY GIERSE, the leader, were GRACE KIPP, FLORENCE MILLER and MARIE NIMZ, who gave a wonderful performance. With the con- clusion of the dance, LUCETTA HAUGH was brought into the spotlight.

The alarm was sounded! Five short blasts of the ship's whistle pierced the air! The crowd was frantic!! A number of cries were heard. All hands on deck! Be calm, the crews will take care of you! Women and children first! Go to your station! ROBERT POMMERING, a deck hand, scrambled up the stairway to the radio room where he notified EVELYN STRONER to send out an S.O.S. It was too late!

Not too much salt, these Americans are very salty , said EDWARD BOPP, Chief Cannibal, who was carefully attended by his two slaves, SYLVESTER BEINER and ALBERT BUDRIS. DAVID PARKE and his daughter, LOUISE ALEXANDER PARKE were tied to near-by trees. The missionary, PARKE, was very miserable. A group of native women, ETHEL DWYER, GENEVIEVE FISH, and ELSIE FRANK led by Witch Doctor, JOHN MEYERS, did a ceremonial dance. ETHEL SCOLUM, the Chief Cannibal's mother-in-law, led ELSIE NYQUIST and HAZEL REICHARD in a death chant. Running up from the path that led to the shore, JOHN KUBILUNAS, another cannibal, shouted, Hey, Boss! White men and women-out of the sea. IN THE meantime, ANN KELLY, a champion swimmer, was bringing in ETHEL KNUDSEN, a newspaper reporter, who had been knocked unconscious by a piece of drift wood. THELMA BJERKE and VIRGINIA KELLEY helped revive MISS KNUDSEN. The survivors of the wreck decided to explore the island.

Two stub nosed tugs, under the com- mand of the tugmen IAMES FAWCETT and RAY ZABICKI, skillfully maneuv- ered the ship into the bay, turning its prow toward destination. FIRST MATE KLOTZBUCHER took the wheel with SECOND MATE GILMORE at the controls. As the streamers snapped and the strains of Anchors Aweigh began to fade in the distance, MR.

WALTER BARZ, creator of Paris sensations, Was having a tete-a-tete with the great scientist, ARTHUR OEHME. Seated near by, absorbed in a tourist book, were CLARENCE MARTINEK and AMY LEE MANIFOLD. They were very rudely interrupted by the voice of MAX EPHRAIM, a traveling salesman, Maybe you would be interested in buying a book, eh? Fortunately for the tourists, running from the bow came the child actor, ROBERT CARTWRIGHT, pursued by his guardian WILLARD DEVRIES whose private letters he had taken. Stop that running, shouted IAMES GALLAGHER, the steward, coming from amidships. You'll knock down our honey-mooners, SAL PERRI and ELLEN BASSO PERRI!

EILEEN NOBLE, the Wealthy MISS RISEN'S social secretary, had jumped over- board to escape from the continuous chatter of STEPHANIE LANKAUSKAS and MARGARET MCKILLOP, officers of the Ladies Aide of Seedville, Missouri. ART PIKER came to the rescue and DR. BENSON, with the aid of his capable nurse, IRENE HEDGE, revived her. You must have quiet for the rest of the trip, bellowed DR. BENSON. No sooner said than done. The nervous wreck, R. RUBENSTEIN, stuck his head out of the cabin window and yelled, Hi Sailor, what's all this commotion? Can't a fellow have a little quiet around here?
