This group as a vacaTion, is going on a cruise on The AguaTania, world's largesT liner. The group is barely seTTled on The aTTerdeclc 937 I O THE ACORN I I I9 when They are approached by five persons who look Tamiliar. BeTore anyone has a chance To say anyThing, Earl Macy produces numerous bulleTins and begins oraTing on The advanTages oT buying a policy Trom The MariTime Travelers LiTe Insurance Co. ATTer he somewhaT subsides, Earl inTroduces his companions: SenaTor Rouse, who is To chrisTen The liner, his secreTary, Lois MiddleTon, DelberT STrong, The DeTroiT auTo- ynobile magnaTe and Vernon Jones, The BosTon banker who has an 'inTeresT in The huge iner. V Before The liner is Tar up The ST. Lawrence, Barbara CasTeel discovers The TirsT maTe To be Donald Blue, and The head dieTician To be none oTher Than RuTh Lee. The lnspecTor oT Mails, a busTling young lady, proves To be The energeTic Mary Rose. AT New York, where we dock, we are warmly received by DoroThy RichTer, now a Tamous novelisT, and Nellie Wonderlin, proprieTor oT a swanky FiTTh Avenue beauTy salon. ATTer crossing The ATlanTic, we dock aT Liverpool where we run across a dis- Tinguished looking, monocled BriTisher. The accenT Tools us Tor a momenT, buT who is iT buT Dr. CarpenTer, The Tamed London surgeon-violinisT. We leave LaVern To his monocle buT on sTarTing back up The gangplank, we are sTopped by Dr. Palmer, The renowned scienTisT who inTorms us ThaT he is doing research in England on his laTesT bacTeriological discovery. All Too soon, we board The AquaTania and are on our way To sunny France. AT Marseilles, we aTTend La Opera Musicale, where we are enTerTained by The Team oT Sperry, l'lunT, and Hume, who are making a Tour OT France, giving The Amer- ican version oT The dance, perTormed by Miss Sperry, accompanied aT The piano by Geneva l-lunT, and humor being puT across by The droll John l-lume. We all go To a secluded caTe To Talk over old Times. There we are joined by a prosperous looking individual, Henry Fourez, now owner oT a large vineyard near The ciTy. The parTy breaks up laTe aT nighT, and nexT morning we are ouT in The MediTer- ranean again. lT is a rough Trip and we are glad when The Suez is sighTed. The U. S. TleeT is lying To, aT The mouTh oT The canal, and beTore we enTer, we are boarded by several naval oTTicers. We Tind in charge l-larold Downing, resplendenT in The uni- Torm oT a sergeanT oT The marines. WiTh him is ThaT Tamous G-man, Verne SaulTs, who goes Through our passenger lisT in search oT an inTernaTional crook ThoughT To be aboard. Our visiT wiTh These Two is cuT shorT as They are compelled To leave when our vessel sTarTs Through The canal. Days laTer, we arrive in Singapore and go ashore To Tour The ciTy. SeaTed on The veranda oT a large caTe, we spy Three somewhaT Tamiliar Tigures saunTering Toward us. All Three are naTTily clad in sun helmeTs and spoTless whiTe suiTs. We see ThaT The corpulenT member oT The Trio is Mr. Johnson, our Triend whose books oT verse we enioy. WiTh him are RoberT Taylor, The Tearless explorer oT deepesT Malayan Jungle, and Jack LamberT, whose painTing oT Tropical beauTies adorn magazine covers. ATTer a pleasanT rendezvous, we again board our TaiThTul ship and are OTT Tor The Philip- 937 I O THE ACORN O O I9 pines. Docking aT ilvlanila, we There meeT HarrieT Pichon, who is now a missionary enlighTening The naTives. Surrounded by a Troop OT dusky children ThaT she has been Teaching, she escorTs us To The coTTage oT Mr. and Mrs. EvereTT Peugh. We enioy a luncheon There in The company oT EvereTT, who is now drilling Tor oil in The inTerior, and his wiTe, The Tormer Vivian Giacone. We have To leave The Philippines and our Triends To be on our way To Hawaii. Lei decked, we welcome glamorous Hawaii, and There meeT Charles Reed, who has disTinguished himselT as a bridge engineer in boTh l-lawaii and The U. S. WiTh him is Francis Sims, lviargareT Williams, and BeTTy ScoTT, a wealThy widow. All are making a Tour OT The island and enjoying The hospiTaliTy oT WalTer ScoTT, who has re- ceived Them aT The mansion oT his large pineapple planTaTion. WalTer himselT meeTs us and gives us all a craTe oT pineapples. While we are visiTing, The China Clipper arrives, and we make our way To iT, knowing The piloT To be Glenn Duke, buT we are surprised To learn ThaT The air hosTess is Wilma CronkhiTe. A warning blasT Trom our vessel sends us all scurrying back aboard, and we bid Hawaii adieu. Soon aTTer clearing porT, The ship's radio is Tuned in on The MeTropoliTan Opera House, and There Tlashes on The Television screen The Tigure oT Rosalia lvlcAlisTer, and her voice TloaTs ouT To us in a melodious operaTic aria. Our nexT surprise occurs when a privaTe yachT is sighTed To sTar board, Tlying The disTress signal. The AquaTania hasTens To The rescue and as we draw up To The yachT, our capTain, James Irvin, hails The skipper, who Turns ouT To be Ora RichTer, millionaire, who is vacaTioning on his yachT, accompanied by Reed Lewis, owner oT a coasT-To-coasT Truck line. Ora hails back and innocenTly inquires iT we have noTiced his haT which has Tallen over- board a Tew leagues back. CapTain lrvin's Tace grows red wiTh anger, and we soon leave The asTonished Ora in The disTance. Our voyage is aT an end. We are now in San Francisco, and plan To spend half a day aT Hollywood beTore Taking a plane back across The conTinenT To our respecTive homes. ProTessor Tellier, needing a haircuT, we enTer a large Tonsorial esTablishmenT bearing The name oT ST. John's Shave Shoppe Tor STars. Sure enough, The owner is Norman ST. John, who gives us all a Tree haircuT. Lois Huckins happens in while we are There. She is The governess OT a Tamous child acTor, and gladly oTTers To escorT us To one OT The sTudios. We iourney ouT To The sTudio, where we meeT Claude Bridg- man, now a direcTor, his head elecTrician and cameraman, Jacob GuTTeridge, and his scripT girl, Anna Mae Green. As we leave The loT on The way To The airporT, we glance in on a scene under producTion and are asTonished To see There as an exTra, MargareT Gillen. We visiT a momenT wiTh her, hurry on To caTch our plane, and Thus our Tale ends. R. B. J. and J. K. L.
