one as will be shown by the fact that
the north aide of the bridge. ass been
1 torn away. That 'was done in an aw

which were "covered with ice and snow.
' Huge waves swept over - th steamer

B peaking of his long absence from

left England with a cargo of coal for
ths Japanese wsrshlps which at thst

tic fleet He passed several Russian
i gunboats In the Mediterranean on the
" way to the Par East but waa not moleat

i dona them no good as the Woodford had
,- - cleared for Hongkong for orders. From
i Hongkong aha cleared for Japan and Je
7 llvered her cargo safely. -.
"From Japan we wsnt to Saigon to
" load rice for ths Japanese. This was
' more lisky because we knew ths Rus-
stana were coming out from the Euro
pean side." said the captain, "and would
follow the Asiatic coast pretty elosely
" In steering north. Departing from
V Saigon wo passed 11 German transports.
all of them laden with supplies for the
- Russlsn fleet- In a bay about 100 miles
. .north of Saigon the Baltic fleet was at
anchor, but wa decided to make the run
' for Japan anyway. By keeping doss 'to
. nhore we expected to escape capture
: even If sighted by the Russians because
" of being within ths neutral Bona of the
' three-mile limit. I'll admit, however,
. that wa would not bars gambled on our
' chances of getting the contraband cargo
' to Its destination. But the . Russians
