MEDITERRANEAN MIX-UP
Inside story on General Wavell’s
transfer to India, as told in diplo-
matic dispatches, is that Wavell had
been quarreling with Churchill and
had opposed political-military moves
such as the campaign in Greece and
Crete and the expedition to Solum.
More important from the Amer-
ican point of view, Wavell had fa-
vored the evacuation of all British
forces from the entire Mediter-
ranean area. And U. S. military ex-
perts agreed with him—in fact,
urged it.
So although in a sense General
Wavell is being demoted, yet in oth-
er respects he will be in a position
to command British forces from an
area to which he had urged that
British forces retreat.
For some time General Wavell
had contended that Britain’s posi-
tion in the Mediterranean was in-
defensible. The British force of only
400,000 men in the Near East faced
a combined Axis total twice as
strong—400,000 Germans and Italians
in Libya, plus 600,000 Nazis in

CHAPTER I
—1—
To sign a crew is one thing; to
keep all hands aboard till sailing
time is another. At dusk, Captain
Keen moved the Sunset from the
wharf out into the stream to wait
for the morning tide. She was a
full-rigged ship of three hundred and
forty-seven tons burden, bound for
the Fiji Islands to load with sandal-
wood for Chinese and Indian ports;
but she was under charter to the
Mission Board to carry certain
freight and passengers from San
Francisco to Honolulu and to the I
Marquesas, on the way. “I want to
give the men overnight to sober
off before the missionaries come
aboard, Mr. Chase,” Captain Keen
told the mate as the ship swung to
her anchor. “And another thing. I
As long as they’re with us, I’ll have I
no going ashore at Honolulu, or at
thw Islands, nor any native girls
coming on the ship at all.”
"■The Reverend John Gale and Mrs.
Gale were retui ning to their post in
Micronesia after a year’s leave at
home; and the Reverend George
McAusland went to serve his ap-
prenticeship with them. McAusland
was not a young man as years go,
but his training for the ministry was
only just concluded. He was rath- I
er small, and decidedly thin. He
wa\ actually, thirty-eight years old.
John Gale, since they met a day or
two before, had studied his new as-
sistant. He had some misgivings.
McAusland seemed full of a restless
earnestness; but the old minister
knew that too much zeal could be
as dangerous as too little.
Aboardship, Mrs. Gale went to her
cal Tin to settle her belongings there; I
but John Gale and McAusland
stayed on deck to watch the busi- |
ness of departure. I
What decided you to become a
missionary?” Gale asked.
“Why, sir, at the Seminary I read
a great deal about the mission to
the Sandwich Islands, and—I want
to be like the men who led that
work. They did so much, and ev-
eryone loved them.” McAusland
added humbly: “I-want to help peo-
ple, and to be loved. I’m pretty I
clumsy about it, though; about mak-
ing friends.”
The other suggested: “The trick is
to like people. People like a man
who seems to like them.” He asked:
“But what turned you toward the
ministry, at your age?”
McAusland answered frankly: “I’d f
killed a man, in Nevada City, in the
mines.” There may have been sur- |
prise in the older man’s quick
glance, and an unspoken question,
for the other explained: “I suppose
I don t look like a—man of violence;
but I lost my temper. He was drunk’
and shooting at me, and I threw a
pickaxe at him. It hit him in the
head.”
John Gale thought he would have
to readjust his estimates of this
young man. “Wasn’t that—just an
accident?” he suggested reassur- I
ingly.
“I suppose a man is responsible
even for his accidents,” McAusland George, despite his lameness “to I
insisted. “He had no family. There come along. When George decided
was nothing I could do directly; but to stay aboard, Mrs. Gale thought
I wanted to find some way to— he was shyly relieved at havine a

lence?”
The Captain said wisely: “There’s
never any knowing. The quietest
little man I ever knew killed four
Malay pirates with a caps’an bar.”
“He and I are going to work to-
gether, these next years,” John Gale
explained. “I’m trying to find out
what sort of man he is.”
Captain Keen said: “You’ll find
out, presently. Being shut up on the
same ship with a man, you come to
know him. The sea strips him
down, wears him down till what’s
inside him shows through.”
The old minister nodded; and dur-
ing the days that followed, while
the Sunset took her peaceful way
across the peaceful sea, he some-
times thought that McAusland was
no more than an enthusiastic boy

self came on deck to find the other I
bare-footed, his sober black trousers
rolled up his thin shins, pushing a

ing under the instruction of the
sailor with the parrot. The sailor’s
name was Corkran; and the two
were laughing together at McAus-
land’s awkwardness. The parrot
watched George too, its hear'
cocked, and presently it nipped
Corkran s ear and said wheedlingly:
“Mighty pretty. Mighty pretty!”
Corkran laughed and clapped Mc-
Ausland on the shoulder. “There
Reverence!” he said. “That’s Pat’s
way of saying he takes to you.”
The friendship between these two
developed rapidly. Corkran was an
able seaman, above the level of his
fellows in the forecastle; and he did
his work so cheerfully and complete-
ly that he had certain tacit privi-
leges. Whenever he was on deck,
he and George were apt to be to-
gether. McAusland was intensely
«w»ous about chip’s business. He

Churchill Says No.
However, Churchill was flatly op-
posed. So were many other British
leaders. They felt that the shock
of withdrawal from the Mediterran-
ean, traditional sphere of British in-
fluence, and from Suez which had
been identified with the British em-
pire for years, would be too much
for the British public.
This debate occurred before the
Nazi attack on Russia and before
the British march into Syria. But
after the slowness of Wavell’s suc-
cess in Syria, all these factors cul-
minated in his transfer to India.
There Wavell can concentrate on
defense of the most important part
of the empire—if the Nazis creep
up on the Indian border in South
Russia. Also, he will not be in the
Mediterranean, for the defense of
which he had no great enthusiasm.

MERRY-GO-ROUND
It was a breathless day in Wash-
ington. The only breeze was kicked
up by the little subway car run-
ning between the senate office build-
ing and the Capitol. Passenger Hat-
tie Caraway, senator from Arkan-
sas, clutched at her flying strands
of hair.
Curly-haired Sen. Berkeley Bunk-
er of Nevada, who succeeded to the
seat of the late Key Pittman, never
misses a senate session and is as-
siduously studying parliamentary
procedure. Vice President Wallace

’----tablished themselves twenty years
ago on one of the smaller northern
’ islands of the Marquesan group,
■ which Ephraim Doncaster called
Gilead. Mary was born there a
year later, and lived there till when
| she was ten years old they sent her
I home to New Bedford to school
Now she was returning to them" I
and John Gale, when he had talked
with her, approved Mary mightily.
He and Mrs. Gale agreed between
themselves that it would be good for
McAusland to have the girl’s com-
pany aboard the Sunset during the
rest of the voyage to Gilead. When
they were all rowed out to the ship
next afternoon a little before sailing
time, the old man looked forward to
watching McAusland’s face light
with pleasure at first sight of Mary;
but George was not on deck to greet
them, and John Gale found him in
I his bunk with a slight temperature,
presumably from the pain of his
hurt.
George did not come to supper,
so he did not see Mary till next
morning. John Gale had told him
she was aboard, but—afraid of say-
ing. too much—he said only: “She’s
the daughter of Ephraim Doncaster,
the missionary at Gilead.” George
inattentively expected Mary to be
like a younger edition of Mrs.
Gale. Mrs. Gale was pretty as pa-
per flowers under a glass case, with
a pale and delicate beauty that
would not disturb a man; but Mary
was mightily disturbing, beautiful
not with youth alone but already
ripely. The ship’s carpenter had
fashioned a crutch for George out of
a mop-handle and a block of timber
cut to fit the minister’s shoulder
socket. When George hobbled out
into the cabin, the others were al-
ready at table, Mary sitting with
her back to him; but John Gale
greeted George as he appeared, and

Mary turned to look up at him. T1 «
sun from the skylight fell full upon
her countenance as she turned, and
George stopped like a struck man,
shaken and trembling. She thought
he would fall, and she rose quickly
to help him, slim and yet warmly
round in her tight bodice above loose
full skirts of sober stuff. The button
at her throat was unfastened; and
George as his eyes fell before hers
saw her smooth white throat. She
touched his arm, steadying him; and
John Gale spoke her name and his,
and she said:
“Here, I’ll help you. Sit here.”
George said defensively: “I’m all
right.” He freed himself and sat
down; but his arm where she had
touched it burned long after her
fingers were removed. He sat be-
side her at the table with Captain
Keen at the head, but he could not
look at her. He ate briefly, a little,
with trembling hands, silent, so that
his silence oppressed them all. Aft-
erward he took refuge in his cabin
again; and when next day, his ankle
quickly healing, he was able to hob-
ble on deck, he walled himself be-
hind an intense dignity.
But if he was afraid of Mary, he
was attracted to Joseph Neargood.
The Marquesan was youthfully im-
pressed by his own consecration to
the Mission work in which he would
presently assume a place. McAus-
land, his own life committed to lead
the Island people to Christianity,
saw in Neargood a fine example of
j what could be done in that direction.
The Sunset was five days out of
Honolulu; and the day was lovely
and serene, with a light steady
breeze and a long easy swell so that
the breast of ocean rose and fell as
sweetly as the bosom of a sleeping
I woman. Two sailors on a stage
slung over the side forward were
scraping and painting, and Mary
Doncaster and Mrs. Gale stood by
the rail above the catheads, idly
watching the men and watching the
porpoises under the bow. Now and
then as they talked together the
sound of Mary’s laughter rang out
pleasantly. Captain Keen, near the
two missionaries aft, cocked his
head that way and chuckled.
“We’ll be sorry to . say good-bye
I <\° Miss Doncaster,” he remarked.
The girl has an honest, friendly
sound in her laughing.”
Mary and the others,were coming
aft toward them; and George, al-
ways apt to avoid Mary, went for-
ward along the other side of the
deck. She looked aiter him, her
eyes sobered by hurt; and a mo-
ment later, when Mrs. Gale and
Joseph Neargood had gone below
she smiled and said to John Gale: ’
“I saw you talking with poor Mr.
McAusland.”
He chuckled. “Now I wonder why
you call him ‘poor.’ ”
“But isn’t he? He might have so
many things, but he’s afraid to take
them.”
“Afraid?”
“Well, at least sort of ashamed
and shy.”
“Ashamed of what?” The old man
watched her with a lively interest.
“Ashamed of—life, perhaps.” The
girl’s cheeks were bright. “Don’t
you know people like that? Old
maids .who insist that there’s some-
thing sinful in loving and marrying?
People who persuade themselves
that the things they want to do and
don’t dare do are really wrong and
who think everyone else is wicked
for doing them?”
He spoke in an affectionate amuse-
ment. “So wise so young!”
“I’m not so awfully young,” Mary
assured him. “I’m nineteen. Re-
member I lived on Gilead till I was
ten, and the Island girls start hav-
ing babies when they’re not much '
older than that.”

absence more than any other sen-
ator.
United Service Organizations have
had some big gifts, but none more
touching than the savings brought
in by one Harry Katz, who emptied
on the desk 512 pennies, 44 nickels,
eight dimes, and one quarter.
Displayed in the department of
agriculture lobby are four practical
pamphlets: “Cockroaches and Their
Control,” “Bedbugs: Causes and
Cures,” “House Ants,” and “How to
Control Fleas.”
The President has on his desk
new leather briefcase, fastened se-
curely at one end with a steel pad-
lock.
. c^urch has a grave respon-
sibility regarding alcoholic bev-
erages, but in recent years it has
largely failed to meet it •. with in-
telligence and enthusiasm. Let us
never forget that the first business
of the Christian and of the church
is to preach the gospel, winning men
to Christ. It is not our calling to
attempt by social or economic meth-
ods to right the wrongs of this world.
Nor is ours a “social gospel” with
the emphasis on “social.” But have
we forgotten that it is a gospel with
serious social implications and re-
sponsibilities?
The man, and the church, who fol-
lows Christ should be vitally con-
cerned about every influence in
American life which is destructive
to character, and right at the top
of that list stands alcohol. To meet
this gigantic (and growing) prob-
lem effectively the church must be
I. Separated From Sin (I Cor.
5:9, 10).
A church living in careless world-
liness has no testimony against the
sin round about it. In fact, its in-
fluence is definitely on the wrong
side. The Christian is to be in the
world, but not of it. He must live
with the sinners, but he must never
by word or deed, or even by his pres-
ence in the wrong place, seem to
condone their sin nor fellowship
with them in it.
Here we have one of the horrible
weaknesses of our day. Men and
women who profess to follow Christ
(whether they really do, only He
can judge) indulge in a social glass
of wine, or sip a cocktail “for the
sake of courtesy,” or attend gather-
ings which are obviously non-
Christian or anti-Christian. If there
is to be effective dealing with any
problem—with the liquor problem
—we must have separated Christian
living.
ii. r-
(I Cor. 5:11-13).
Even a “man that is called
brother” (v. 11) may not be
at all, but may be a “wicked
son” (v. 13). We are not able to
judge any man’s spiritual experi-
ence. His relationship to God is a
matter between him and God, but if,
in his life, he shows himself per-
sistently to be on the side of wicked-
ness, it is the duty of the church
to have him “put away from among”
them (v. 13).
We can only judge a man by his
actions; but we are required to do
that for the sake of the purity of the
church and the effectiveness of its
teaching. This is not to be done
in self-righteousness, but in humil-
ity and with the constant effort to
restore such a one (Gal. 6:1). But
it should be done. We are woe-
fully weak in the matter of church
discipline, and it shows in the '
ability of the church to do valiant
service for God and country.
III. Intelligent in Doctrine (Titus
2:1-8; esp. 1, 7, 8).
To be informed is to be wise, able
to plan properly, balanced in judg-
ment and action, useful and effec-
tive Fundamentally every problem
of life finds its solution in a proper
knowledge of the doctrines of the
Christian faith. It is of great im-
portance that we have information
about the liquor traffic, about the
dreadful results of the use of alco-
hol, etc. Helpful material on such
subjects is available, and the
sources are known to ministers and
Christian workers. However, we
must hold and use this information
in relation to Christian truth if it is
to be fully useful. A temperance
worker without Christ in his own
life and in his labors against liquor
is weak, lacking the real solution
and the dynamics to proclaim it ef-
fectively.
IV. Consistent in Life (Titus 2-
1-8, esp. 2,'5, 7).

John Gale, observing the friend-

He saw that when they were togeth-

duty; and George, turning, saw John

I suppose not.” McAusland
laughed uncertainly. “And—I like
him, in spite of what he is,” he ad-
mitted. “I don’t know why.”

Corkran’s instruction, was learning
to put an eye-splice in a discarded

team the pitchers he names are
Walsh, Alexander, Mathewson, John-
son, Plank and Feller.
What about a pretty fair pitcher
by the name of Denton Tecumseh
(Cy) Young, the Paoli Phenom?
All Cy did was to win 512 ball
games in two major leagues. This
winning count totals more games
than the great majority of pitchers
ever pitch. They talk about pitch-
ers who can win 20 ball games a
season—Cy Young averaged better
than 20 games a year for more than
20 years.
About Cy Young
Young did his pitching for Cleve-
land, St. Louis and Boston, work-
ing in both leagues. He came up
from Paoli, Ohio, in 1890 with hay
in his hair. J
Cy, a huge hulk of a fellow, had
speed, control, a fine head and a
stout heart. And you can empha-
size control and smartness,
worked from 1890 through 1911
when he had finished he had
by something like 100 winning

place.
Cobb picks Ed Walsh and Eddie
Plank, both fine pitchers, but old
Cy won more games than both to-
gether. —
I ran across Cy a short while
back. He gave me then one of the
secrets of his success.
“How did I ever win 512 games?”
he said. “Here’s one reason. I had
four different pitching motions that
J made look alike. Also, I think
that I was the first pitcher to cover
up the pitching motion completely - --------- ■.—xxvkk.w

That’s

you want it to go. There are too
many pitchers today who haven’t
any idea what a batter’s weakness
is. Nor do they have the control to
match this weakness when they do

'T'HE old-timer likes to think the
old days and the old ways were
the best. As the years slip by he
lets his imagination build up the
stronger spots and lop off the weak-
er turns his ancient idols carried
into action.
Certainly baseball’s two most fa-
mous stars for 30 years—from 1905
to 1935 — were Ty
Cobb and Babe
Ruth. Cobb’s big
league career open-
ed in. 1905, Babe’s
in 1914. For more
than 10 years their
careers overlapped.
Their counter
parts in 1941 are
Bob Feller and Joe
DiMaggio. Bob Fel-
ler is, or should be,
one of the all-time
pitching greats. The
same i ' u
gio as a hitter and outfielder.
Without attempting to rate the val-
ue of Ty and Babe against Bob and
Joe, there is one department at least
where the old-timer can expand his
chest and prove his point. This is
the matter of color.
Cobb and Ruth packed an
larged amount of personality
