We were four in a cabin. Quite shamelessir we went to bed in all four clothes, excepting our shoes and
ties. One night the Thing happen-| ed. We heard a loud explosion. We felt the desperate jar through the ship's whole fabric. We were doomed. We would be drowned

I was very proud of it. I had my college tie neatly pressed under my pillow. If I delayed oven! a moment of two I might be trap- ped like a rat in that cabin. On the other hand, we were going to drown in any case. It seemed to me a rather magnificent gesture to! put my college tie on-and go down' with it gallantly.

But this as I said earlier-is not grim story. There had been no submarine, no torpedo. The rudder chain had snapped. I caressed my tie with a quite revolting vanity.

TRAVEL IN COMFORT
Designed to meet the requirements of discriminating travellers, the majority of President Liner cabins are "de- luxe"--with private bath or shower. Cabins of this type are now available at a supplementary charge as low as G‡20 per person, from Hong Kong to Seattle or San Francisco. Large cabins may be had at a supplement of only G$46.
