Just after this, Wayfoong lost a player who was hurt when he crashed into the concrete stands with his head. Then when a dummy sent the Airmen up the wing to score in the corner it looked all over for Wayfoơng, 0-0.

In the second half Wayfoong rallied magnificently, and main- faired a very heavy pressure. Wigget broke through on

the blind side from a 5-yard scrum to score well out, and then con- verted with a good klek. 6-5.

DISASTER

IN THE IRISH SEA by PAUL GALLICO

Seven years ago last January vicious seas burst the doors of the British Railways car ferry Princess Victoria and sent her to the bottom.

WHY did only 44 of the 177 souls aboard her survive almost within sight of the Irish phore?

WHY were no women and children among those rescued?

WHY was the watertight door opened to let the raging sea to?

WHY did the ship sail in weather so foul that life- boats hesitated to put out?

!

Paul Galileo takes you aboard the stricken ship.
