THEY SAY I'M MAD Do you sfill have fhe dirk? Why, man! Thaf would be inhumanl Very well, if fhaf leg is nof ampufafed. Goldie will die before nigh+faIII Buf you have no anesfheficf' lf you wanf fo save your firsf mafe, give me fhe dirk. I did so and was fold fo knock Goldie unconscious wifh a shorf, fhick piece of wood. The scene 'rhaf followed I will never puf on paper, alfhough if is one of fhe mosf vivid of my advenfure. We musf gef fresh wafer, said von Frederick affer he had finished his fask. You search fo fhe norfh and I'II scour 'rhe soufh. Then he picked up 'rhe shorl' sfick of wood and laid on anofher blow fhaf made me shiver. Tha+ will keep him ouf of pain unfil we gef back, he said. I searched fo no avail and fhe docfor broughf back fhe same reporf, so we would have fo suck fhe dew off fhe leaves once again. As von Frederick wenf over fo ex- amine his pafienf he uffered a low cry and seemed fo sfagger. I hurried fo see fhe cause of alarm and froze solid in my fracks as I saw fhe clofhes of Goldie lying scaffered amongsf a bloody, gory mass of flesh, and fhe framework of whaf used fo be a human being, all disemboweled and mangled beyond recognifion excepf fhaf one leg was sfumped. Thank God he didn'f know whaf happened because of von Frederick's Iasf blow. Whaf do you make of if, Frank? Wolves? The way von Frederick replied made my blood curdle and fo fhis day I fhink he musf have known somefhing fhaf I did nof. I-Ie answered slowly in a low guffural voice. Wolves, Waldo? Wolves, did you say? No Waldo, if is nol' wolves. This so frighfened me fhaf I was afraid fo ask for an explanafion and I know he wouIdn'+ have given me one if I had. As I busied myself abouf fhe fire von Frederick came fo me and said. We musf build a big raff, and we musf build if fonighff' And so all nighf we cuf frees by firelighf and lashed fhem fogefher wifh a sfrong vine fhaf grew fhere. By morning if was complefed, a raff fwenfy feef square wifh fwo long paddles. We rnusf have wafer! repeafed von Frederick, and he sef off in search of if direcfly foward fhe middle of fhe island. Meanwhile I had launched fhe raff and had everyfhing ready fo leave in a momenf's nofice. Wifhin fhe hour Frank refurned carrying fhree monsfrous sized gourds full of wafer. I musf make one more frip, said he. and fhen we'Il be off! I was sfraining my eyes fo wafch fhe acfions of von Frederick as he was refurn- ing in considerable hasfe, when righf be- fore me I saw fhe Thing do fhe same fo von Frederick as if had done +o GoIdie . I have always refused fo describe or nar- rafe The specfacle 'ro anyone for fear of going mad. Immediafely I shoved fhe raff fo sea and was horrified fo see 'rhe Thing advancing fowards me. Undoubfedly if could swim. Then by fhe good giff of providence Crossef shuddered, an erup- fion fook place, and a big crack opened under fhe Thing and if was swallowed by Crolssef. Wifh a fremendous roar my raff was sucked foward fhe island as if foo was swallowed by fhe sea. I was picked up by fhe sfeamer Lacona fhree days lafer, famished and so weak I could hardly relafe my sfory. They said I was mad! I would fighf fhem, buf, fhank God, all my evidence is af fhe boffom of fhe seal EDUARD WALDEN. Sefvzniy-smmn

SAILING AS A SPORT A+ fhree o'clock on ihe morning of Sal- urday. March 24, a small group of s+uden+s huddled around 'rhe bus, discussing various ways of preven+ing sea-sickness. Oihers ioined +he group, and when 'rhey finally 'rolalled fifleen in number, Mr. Wegel an- nounced, Now we can sl'ar'r. However, +he perennial sophomore, Ver- non Duncan, occasioned a ien-minule wai+, and when he emerged from his domicile. carrying a large, burdensome sack, which assserledly held his lunch, he was greeied wi+h ieers from all sides. Then, wifhouf iurlher delay, 'rhe bus headed ou+ foward lhe wide, wide ocean. I+ was nearing +he hour of five when lhe members of 'rhe parfy finally 'fumbled ou+ al Sanla Barbara. Carrying luggage and coals of all descriplions, lhey walked our on +he breakwa+er fo where lay Hal Proc- 'ror's ship, Husky. They wenl aboard and 'rhe boar soon moved away from lhe shore. The sea was calm and smoo+h unfil, ou+- side fhe breakwaler, 'rhe swells became bigger and rougher-and less enjoyable. To Helen Jean Shipley goes +he honor of having been lhe lirsl lo hir lhe rail. Shorlly afler fhe swells became really no- ficeable, she made her firsi' lrip 'ro lhe rail, and kep+ if up all +he way over. Ver- non heroically 'fried 'ro make her comforl- able, buf soon he, Too, was beyond aid. Meanwhile, Mary Jamison, Caroline Gia- comazzi, True Jamison and Calherine Hur- ley were 'Feeling The eifecls of 'rhe bound- ing main. True had ihoughlliully broughi her camera, buf she was in no condirion 'ro lake snapshols of ofhers, so she handed her camera over fo David Robinson, who enjoyed himself af 'rhe expense of fhose less forlunaie. Anila Sharp, lying in fhe bow, kepf say- ing, Gee, 'lhis is fun! unlil she suddenly fel+ pale and leaned over fhe wa+er iusf in lime. Forresf Fulmer bravely paced fhe decks wifh a wer rag in one hand and a lemon in 'rhe ofher. He made a game fight bu'r his will power wasn'+ slrong enough and he finally gave up, much fo +he delighl of fhose who s'fill dared lo open lheir moulhs long enough fo laugh. Poor Mr. Wegell He lay by +he rail all Jrhe way over and occasionally was seen lo pul his head over fhe side of fhe boaf wirh an agonized expression on his face. Sanger Hedrick proved himself a good sailor. Mrs. Eakin and Wilbur Beckwifh weren'+ bolhered eilher. Jim Miller looked a lilfle pale, bul' his name, along wi+h rhose of Wallace McDiviH and David Rob- inson, belongs in fhe lisl of Those able +0 wirhsland 'rhe lisling and lurching of ihe ship. Gwelda Loyd and Doi Pardee deserve a few bouqueis for being The lasl' girls lo give up. Aboul an hour before ihe ship reached i'rs des'rina+ion, Gwelda assumed a picfuresque pose, leaning far, far over 'rhe rail. Dol' held our unlil 'rhe relurn frip, when she made several frenzied rushes in fhe direc+ion of lhe rail. Roy Wilson kepi his cheery counlenance par+ of +he way, buf he spenl' a good por- fion of lhe lrip lying on lhe deck, emi++ing an occasional groan which was ample ex- pression of 'rhe way he fell. Everyone was greally relieved fo reach dry land. and mosl of The parly are hearfy lunches. A couple of hours were spenf exploring 'rhe island and lying in lhe sand. Sixty--51'r
