This hand occurred in the recent Vanderbilt tournament. The bidding at one table was extraordinary and resulted in a horrible contract for the South player.

Let us pass over this bidding as quickly as possible, merely noting that North's failure to rebid his spades at any time was inexplicable, Enst did some
fancy bidding

Referring back to the matter of tempo. It is interesting to note that very unusual and farsighted de- fense on East's part would have de- feated the contract even after the diamond lead. The winning play for East was to return a club at the trick, directly up to dummy's Note how this would have! "fixed" declarer.
best chance would be to cash both of duminy's clubs, lead to his space ace, and ruff a club with the heart ace. He would then return
to his hand by ruffing a diamond and would lead the jack of hearts. East would win and lead another club, reducing declarer to three trumpa. The heart ten would drive out the queen, but now, on a high diamond return, declarer be down to one trump while East still had the five and deuce. No other counterplan by declarer would be more effective in shutting out the setting trick. The crux of the mat- ter is that East apparently loses a irick by returning a club up a dum- my's A-Q, but he gains the more valuable tempo.

WALKED IN DESERT
A
an
FTER making his way on foot over the Libyan desert
for 140 miles to escape the Germans, R.A.M.C. officer, who in civil life was Dr Henenge Marchant Kelsey, a general practitioner in Rudgwick, Sussex, is now safely in- side beleaguered Tobruk.
For 36 hours he stayed to tend a dying British soldier within 200 yards of a German
· airfield.
Then, carrying heavy equip ment, with boots torn, and often desperate for water, he began an agonising journey across the desert, hiding beneath bushes when Germans were near.
For eleven days Dr Kelsey kept a diary. Here are ex- tracts from it:-
First Day
I believe it is April 7. The column started, when the first light was showing, towards Derna, some 40 miles away.
We went forward with the tanks. On the top of the escarpment fighting soon be- gan,
with much shrapnel whistling round most unplea- santly. About six wounded, but no ambulances at hand. We dispersed them (the wounded) over various trucks with much difficulty.
One of the wounded was at the back of my truck, shot through the right arm-com-. pound fracture of the humerus. His atretcher was held on by the men on the truck.
The vehicles were order- ed to make a rush for it, with myself, well last. The rest got through. A hidden uniper hit our accumulator at the third shot.
I had previously planned to make off on foot in such cir-

Later saw enemy searching battlefield about a mile away. Dressed "D" again, who was extremely brave.
Longest day in my life. No one came. By evening
"D" much weaker, and I started to collect stores in case of the possibility of escape. "D" had a fairly peaceful night, but died early in the morning.
Third Day
I set off at 10.30 p.m. on a bearing of 143 degrees across country. After a mile or two the water can started to leak badly, and it became so bad I had to abandon it. I now had only two bottles of water. The stores carried were ten. tins of condensed milk, five packets of biscuits, two tins of cheese, about two and a half quarts of water, one iron

Fourth Day
Two-thirty a.m. 12 miles from the start. Passed a white-domed minaret on my left shining in the moonlight just beyond the remains of an ordnance camp.
AL 530 p.m. started to cross the canyon. It took 55 minutes; terribly hard work with my heavy load.
Fifth Day
Awoke perishing cold. Stayed all day in sight of the road. Trouble starting: Hands much knocked about these last few days. My right boot nearly worn through,
Just after dark, I was cross- ing the open plain when the. mosquitoes became trouble- some. The air hummed with thousands of them which at- tacked and bit without mercy.
Sixth Day
Just before 8 a.m. reuched the Wadi el Tmimi. Sixteen miles, but hard going, as there had been much walking on small rocks. My face and hands were swollen because of the bites.
After lunch I was at my case, when I was approached by two Indian soldiers, who led me off to the shore, where there were 12 more of them, with two English officers. Their car had been abandoned the previous night.
They had come so far after ́escaping from Mecheli.
Seventh
Day
We moved on for about a mile to a more remote bit of shore further from the busy main road. Officer "D" de- cided to go no further, but to make for the main road and to give himself up.
His feet were giving out. The Indians decided to give themselves up with him.
Eighth Day
The other officer and I had n-cautious bathe in an inlet, and attempted to mend my failing boot. As dusk came we started cautiously towards the "Narrows."

Suddenly there was loud explosion, and found ourselves in the middle of a naval bombard- ment. The crash of guns and the flush out at occupied a quarter, of a minute, then there was the rush of shells passing and, later, the explosion. It lasted half an hour.
Ninth Day

Set off about 4 p.m. while stil rather hot. Very hard evening, with soft sand making frequent haltu necessary. Emerging from sand dunes we found enemy comp within 200 yards. We beat a hurried retreat into the killing dunes and plod, plot onwards.
Tenth Day
Us before sunrise and on over. the quiet going, following the shore. We were pleased to cover soven or eight miles in the cool of the mom- Ing. Our position was half a millo from the sea and 20 miles west of Tobruk.
