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,

Pasa Pass Pass 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, East did some fancy bidding on his own account, but in this case we are concerned only with the play at the highly inferior contract of four hearts, West made an unfortunate selec- tion for his team. A club opening would have settled malters and put the contract-down two tricks, but West, with nothing to guide him, opened the nine of diamonds. Dum- my ducked and East won with the East then made the persua- queen, sive exit play, namely, a low heart to dummy's blank see. Declarer re- turned to his hand with a spade to the ace and led the jack of hearts,
Referring back to the matter of tempo, it is interesting to note that a 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 secnnd trick, directly up to dummy's tenace! Note how this would have "fixed" declarer. His best chance would be to cash both of dummy's clubs, lead in his spade ace, and ruft club with the heart ace. He would then return to his hand by ruffling a diamond and would lend the jack of hearts. East would win and lead

IN DESERT. ESCAPE
AFTER making his way on foot over the Libyan desert
for 140 miles to escape the Germans, an 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

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 awny. -

We went forward with the tanks. On the top of the escarpment fighting soon be- 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 stretcher, 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 sniper hit our accumulator at the third shot.
I had previously planned to
make off on foot in such cir-
cumstances, and had some supplies ready, including water. The men went off without food, water, maps or compass. Great pity I could. not lend them, as I would willingly have given them the compass, etc.
The wounded man-"D"--- { was quite helpless and hope- less. Darkness came, and I lay on the ground to watch for any enemy approaching who would be visible against the sky. None came.

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 carly 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..

were all horribly heavy.
Fourth Day Tivo-thirty a.m. 12 miles from the start. Passed white-domed minaret on my left shining in the moonlight just beyond the remains of an ordnance camp.
At 5.30 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- The air hummed with thousands of them which at- tacked and bit without mercy.
some.
Sixth Day
Just before 8 a.m. reached 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 ease, 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 Mechell.
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 a cautious bathe in an inlet, and attempted to mend my failing boot. As dusk came we started cautiously towards the "Narrows."
Suddenly there was a loud explosion, and we found ourselves in the middle of a naval bombard- ment. The crash of guns and the flash out at sea occupied a quarter of a minute, then there was the rush of shells passing and, later, the explosion. lasted half an hour.
Ninth Day
It
Set off about 4 p.m. while still rather hot. Very hard evening, with soft send making frequent halts necessary. Emerging from sand dunes we found enemy camp within 200 yards. Wo beat a Hurried retreat into the killing dunes and plod, plod onwards.
