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.

Declarer, however, made no such error. He ruffed dummy's high diamond in order to be in his own hand for the extraction of East's lost trump, then claimed the balance with dummy's spade suit and club ace.

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

second trick, directly up to dummy's teance! Note how this would have "fixed" declarer. His best chance would be to cash both of, dummy's

clubs, tend to his space ace, and ruf n club with the heart ace. Ife 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 drive out the queen, but now, on a three

IN DESERT

AFTER making his way on foot over the Libyan desert

R.A.M.C. for 140 miles to escape the Germans, an officer, who in-civil life was Dr Henenge Marchant Kelsey, a general practitioner in Rudgwick, Sussex, is now safely in- side beleugnered Tobruk.

For 36 hours he stayed to tend a dying British soldier within 200 yards of a German airfickl

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. Wo 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 n rush for it, with myself, well last. The rest got through. A hidden sniper hit our accumulator at the third shot.

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.

Second Day

In morning all seemed quiet.

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 сасаре. "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 tivo 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 ration, vitamin C tablets,

Sixth Day

Just before. 8 a.m. reached the Wadi el Tmimi. Sixteen miles, but hard going, as there had been much walking on amall 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 ofcers. 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.

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."

Set off about 4 pm, while still rather hot. Very hard evening, with soft sand making frequent halts necessary. Emerging from spnd dunes we found enemy camp within 200 yards. We boat a hurried retreat into the killing dunes and plod, plod onwards.
