During the time Captain STONE was the Commanding Officer of BROOKLYN the ship performed several convoys to different parts of the North and South Atlantic. On one trip to the Panama Canal he was approached by the Skipper of the British four stack transport. Captain STONE being always in a hurry didn't give much thought to the other Captain's request to go with BROOKLYN back to New York. He told him to come along if he thought he could keep up with our speed of advance. The Captain of the HMS Acquatania informed Captain STONE that he could not only keep up, but that he could run circles around your ship all the way to New York. The return trip was fast, enjoyable and infested with the German Wolfpack which each ship evaded for a safe return to home port. Right below, with HMS Acquatania. It has been a long standing superstition of many of the Sailors of the Seas that since the Rooster, nor the Pig are swimmers, and that there are many Spirits of this Rooster and Pig floating just beyond the darkness, and that some of said Sailors were none too good as swimmers even tho they may have sailed the seas for years. So the truth of the old time superstition is that those Spirits watchover all the poor swimmers and would save their lives should the time for such heroics arise. Here with Captain STONE we pay special tribute and some of us know that he carried the likeness of each, one on the right foot, and one on the left. The spelling of the likenesses determine the foot for each. , .nz LJ L N9, ... 0 Q 'RNS NYC IN I-N IN BY JOHN A, MOROSO, BRD WITH THE A-ILANTIC FLEET, OCT. --CAPD-----THE MAORIS OF NEW ZEALAND CLOTHED 'IM IN A Klwl ROSE, MADE HIM A RANGTIRACFELLOW QHIEFD AND DUBBED HIM POHATU TU MOANA QSTONE, WARRIOR OF THE SEASD.
