TELLS OF LIFE ON CHASER BOAT New York Sailor Says Hunger and Cold Were Routine of the Day New York.—Spearing dead cod- j fish with a boathook from the deck i of a mine chaser fish that have been killed by submarine explosions —is one branch of the fishing art' Xzaak Walton never tried. In fact. IZaak would hardly recognize it as even a far removed cousin of his "Contemplative Man's Recreation." j Just the same, it is not bad sport. . according to John Kirwin. of SC-37, a mine chasing jackie recently re patriated from the North Sea. the, only New York city boy in the North I Sea fleet. And. besides, inasmuch J as the codfish died a recent and vlo- j lent death, they helped out the cul- j sine department. Sweepers, with their higher decks, i would not go in for the hooking game, but were compensated for this disability by the fact that, being j more than twice the size and many j times heavier than the wooden chas- j ers. they installed more elaborate ; culinary apparatus from which re- j suited such things as pies. And pies they swapped with the chaser for j codfish by means of the heaving line. , Many a pie in rough weather, has j found a briny grave, and great were , the lamentaUons therefor. Men were often kept on watch in i the engineroom twelve hours at a , time because relief could not get to them. During such a time, for a • day or more, movement, eating and j sleeping stopped. Every corner aboard, with the one exception of the pilot house, was literally soak- . ed. Red clothes and uniforms were as though they had come, unwrung, ' from the washtub. Six days of this sort of knocking ( about, with lack of nourishment, was a test for strong men. Four to six j days were needed for recuperation between trips. Even ten days of calm weather offered no holidays. From 5 in the morning till 11 at, night were work hours in the North 1 Sea. where during the summer j months, there is no real night, the sun setting at 11 and rising at 3.30, with twilight in between. Lifeboat With Dead It was on April 25. 19IS. that all the chasers left Connecticut for Rer- j m'uda. Four days oet from Bermu da. on the way to the Azores, they picked up a lifeboat containing two British marines who had been dead six weeks and five pairs of extra shoes belonging, they supposed, to' the five men first to die. They had j all taken off their shoes, apparently because of the heat and the water i in the bottom of their leaky boat, j The chasers delayed four hours to give a sea burial to the two. What boat they came from was never l known. On July 5 the subchaser No. 37 [ to which the New York boy was at-, tached. was following the sweepers i Patapsco and Petuxent on a buoy > laying exposition. They were mark - j ing the location of mines which six- ' ty sweepers, along with thirty chas- i ers. would clear away next day. In the late afternoon a mine* l ex- ! ploded off the 137's quarter, which j raralyzed the engine. One month I later, on August 4, at 5 in the after- | noon, the same boat, with a day's j sinking record of sixty-four mines j to its credit, was completely wreck- ' The Best Shoe Values You Can Possibly Get Anywhere Today - Smart, Stylish Footwear That Will Appeal to Thoughtful Buyers Special Sale of Ladies' and Growing Girls' High _ Cut Lace Boots / \ j | Women's dark Russian Women's fine I yVI I \ , jp calf lace Shoes, high top mod- . .. . .

Vainly Answers Distress Call Once, on patrol off the Scilly Isl ands, Sub Chaser 37, after being out six days, got an S. O. S. at 6 in the evening from the torpedoed S. S. Gal way Castle. 200 miles distant, which was carrying mostly women and children. It was a bad night. The chaser found in the morning that it had made only 40 miles. It did its best thought the day. The crew had been without food since the previous noon. The sea calmed during the second night, but they were too late to help the Galway Castle. The water was full of bodies, mostly women, a number of British Red Cross nurses among them, but there was no living soul to res cue. Although they can carry fuel enough for ten days only chasers made the cross Atlantic trip twice under their own power. A large oil tanker accompanied them, from which they were refuelled by hose while keeping up four mile speed. Two men were washed off the 137 while fuelling, but were picked up by following boats of the fleet. The chasers cruised 35,000 miles in all. making six different coun tries with all their important cities.

The sale of the furnl- I ture belonging to the late president ; of the Royal Academy, Sir Edward Poynter .which was sold from his | house in Addison road, Kensington, was an important one. He had soma I wonderful specimens of Chippen dale furniture which fetched consid erable sums. There was six beautiful mahog any chairs, for example, that went for $225 each, and four others that seemed to me equally attractive that fetched $125 apiece. One carved mahogany easy chair, also by Chippendale, brought nearly S6OO and a mahogany settee of the same maker, which had carved legs and claw feet and a stamped velvet covering, brought the big sum of j $2,700. Nowadays the most extra i ordinary prices are being paid in England for furniture, both old and , modern, and few people, unless they Ibe "war rich," are able to afford : the luxury of refurnishing.
