“I'm tired cf paying office rent,
going to the club and listening to
depression sob stories.’’ Dr. Arthur
H. Wallace said in giving up his
dentistry practice in Oakland to
, jom the cruise. That's typical oi
! the way they all leel.
Ralph Lundquist of San Diego
Calif., is a news photographer who
got sick of photographing “per
sonages’. “By the time I get back,
maybe I’ll be able to get somebody
to smile when lie is photographed,'
Lundquist said. ,
Max W Enderlein. Oakland civil
engineer, was bored He put it this
way: - When a mans made his
wad. this life as we live it is an
awful nuisance.”
They all felt more or less the
same way all had the same rest
less wish to roam over the seven
seas rather than keep plowing down
their respective grooves. Beatrice
M Cayo, Los Angeles scientist, put
it. “I've been waiting for this all 1
my life.”
This thought unites an other
wise diverse crew: Julian Stoll,
widely-known San Francisco etch
er. Will Emmet Burk. Denver arch
itect and sculptor: Dr. E Ross
Jrnney. chief resident physician
of Good Samaritan hospital. Los
Angeles: Elsie Bradford Jansen.
Boston lawyer; fcmily Catton. Ala
meda nurse; Paul Meyer, retired
music dealer, George McArthur,
one-legged veteran of the Buer.
Egyptian and World wars; Fred
Busch, former gold prosector and
engineer; Edwin F Taylor. Central
American coffee representative, and
James Johnson, political refugee
from the Irish Free Stale.
Edward Elson Grieve, owner ol
the Star of England, was the arch
plotter of this cruise. She had heea
tied up four years In port. That
gave Grieve the idea of a cruise
away from civilization
And in the Star of England, they
have a romantic vessel She has
sailed under several names, this
last square-rigger to fly the Union
Jack Back when she was the
Blairmore—that was In 1896—she
capsized in San Francisco bay from
lack of ballast, and several ap
prentices were drowned.
In 1900 she was the Abbey Pal
mer and rammed the clipper ship
Empress of Japan. One man from
the clipper was hurled into her
fo'csle top. The Empress reported
him dead, but he turned up alive
when the Abbey put into port. She
has shipped into the Alaska can
nery territory, carrying hundreds
of cannery workers in eowdea
thee-tiered bunks.
She's had some rip-roaring cruises,
the old Star of England, but none
stranger than this one. Captain |
Donald McIntyre, an old salt of
years’ experience in sailing snips,
will be master. He holds the all
time sailing record of 37 days be
tween San Francisco and Sydney.
It s enough to make an old salt
shudder to see how fancy they're
fixing up the Star of England be
fore they weigh anchor. The re
conditioning includes a new coat j
of black paint, hot and cold run
ning water, showers, electric lights,
fans and refrigerators. There art
roomy cabins, a dental office, stu
dios, two mess rooms, and a small
movie theater.
The artists plan to paint, the
writers to write, the scientists to j
study and make collections, and all
of them to work at their own jobs
as and when they /vase Each
also will have shipboard duties.
Maybe they will make a little
money from their various pursuits.
Maybe they won't. It doesn't make
any difference, they say—they
want peace and contentment and
they’re starting out to get it.

LOS ANGELES— One would
think that a professor of languages
could f.nd a better name to call
his wife than a lemon. When
Gladys Leora Rice. 52. former U. S.
Government secret service agent,
was seeking a divorce from Pro
fessor William R. Rice, site testi
fied that he called her a lemon.
• What d.d you do?” asked Judge
William S Baird. ”1 told him he
was a prune.” answered Mrs. Rice
• Well then. I think you are about
even.” commented the judge.

The hours passed drearily on leaden wings Sev
era! times I thought I heard the pad of bare feet 1
upon the floor behind me. the suppressed breathing 1
of some deathly approach The room I peopled with
murderous figures and my muscles quivered with
fear.
Dick however was iron-nerved The passing of
time brought to him only sleepiness and eventually
my lears quieted down. too. In the chill hours of
early morning. I determined nothing was going to
happen that night and went into the bedroom.
I stretched myself out on the bed .telling myself
I could guard the Tulun-Nur chest as well from
there as from anywhere else. Then suddenly I was
asleep. Nature could be denied no longer and Dick
and I dozed peacefully, the boy In hia chair.
Suddenly the bed was shaking violently. I sprang
upright.My hands cultching the coverlet on
either side of me. I sat staring, staring, staring ,...
at that which peered at me over the foot of the bed.
I Dick!" I cried. Smith!" but my throat waa choked.
