The AJax slipped away

know we were moving until wt
came out on deck after breakfast.
Soon we were out In Hood canal,
and plowed on into Puget sound
and into the Strait of Juan De

on port side, Vancouver island and
Canada on our starboard.
We paid our first visit to the

Up on the front of the ship, its floor and walls studded
'with Instruments whose functions, once explained,
make one marvel at the courage of the old-tuners who
set sail on the unknown seas with only the stars, a
few primitive gadgets, and maybe a rabbit's foot in
the pocket as assurance of getting anywhere in par
ticular. A row of portholes provides the view from the bridge.
Borne of them, we noticed as rain continued to fall, are
equipped with windshield wipers. Capt. Markham's
spot is an elevated seat at a porthole near the chart
table. Although we civilians were undoubtedly very
much in the way, we were welcomed on the bridge
and everywhere else in the ship even in the brig
and made ourselves thoroughly at home.
The wheel is a big disc of polished brass, and
enlisted men take their turns standing on the slightly
elevated wooden grating, turning the wheel cautiously
to keep the vessel on course. There is a certain tense
Bess in the atmosphere of the bridge, even under the
most routine conditions. Here is the nerve center of
24,OO0O00 worth of ship carrying 300 to 400 people.
Including us, and there is no monkey business which
is all right with us.
We went to church this morning. The chaplain, a
Methodist from Texas, invited us down to the services
held in the enlisted men's recreation room. He gave
good, non-sectarian sermon to the all-faiths -congregation.
Among the civilians, only Mr. Semon and I
went to church; later, when we were not spared
certain gastric difficulties that visited the ship, we
took the chaplain to task. But he assured us that
we were undeserving that the punishment stemmed
Irom a cocktail party he suspected us of attending
before boarding ship. (II the chaplain himself got sea
tick later, he wouldn't admit ID
It took most of today to get out into the Pacific.
As soon as we had passed Tatoosh light, we began to
realize that something was happening to the sea and
the ship. The vessel had been pitching a lengthwise
rising and falling motion but now it began to roll
stnd pitch both. The wild increased, and the sea
began running in big swells and waves. A big blow was
on. (This was the storm in the North Pacific that
wrecked several craft over the week-end.)
I began to feel a little uneasy amidships (speaking
personally.) I recalled the advice of all the Klamath
people who know exactly what to do about seasick
ness, and tried a few of those ideas, with no apparent
result. I was determined not to be the first down,
end not to show any tenderfoot weaknesses. If others
weren't sick, I wasn't going to be. I went out in a
passageway for a bit of fresh air, and two sailors
were standing there looking out into the rough night.
"Half the men below are sick," one of the boys told
me. That was enough, I groped my way back toward
my room. All holders were off; I went to the proper
place and was emphatically seasick. That ought to
make all my friends happy at home!
' A T SEA, Feb. 8 Well, it was quite a night. Half
f asleep and half seasick, I got dimly through it,
while the steel vessel pitched, groaned, shuddered and
produced many unexplained banging noises. I made
up my mind I would get to breakfast this morning, and
did after several tries at putting on my socks and
shoes. Leaning over that way has very unpleasant
effects when you are on the edge.
it Breakfast was good, the storm abated a bit, and
I began feeling okeh. We learned this morning that
'one of the life rafts had disappeared In the storm,
and that considerable gear, lashed to the deck, had
broken loose, helping to produce some of the noise
of the night.
We proceeded rapidly down the coast, mainly in
"sight of land. We were off the Oregon coast today,
"and the weather is still improving. Tonight, we
' went to movies held In the sameVoom where church
" was held Sunday and saw the "Kid From Brooklyn."

boxes of freight and with 16 or 20 other people in a
flight northward. Our first stop was Los Allmidos
navy field near Long Beach, and then we sped on
over Los Angeles and the rough mountains to the
northwest toward Moffet field near San Jose.
On invitation I went forward to the flight deck and
talked to the pilot, Lt. Cmdr. L. A. Juhnke, who told
us he had flown this same ship to Tokyo, Shanghai

As we approached Moffet, the pilot invited me to
listen to his radio for the ground control (O.C.) land

the ship were directed from a tower until finally we
came In. Over the radio lt was both a directive and a
word description of what we were doing "you are

At Moffet we were given transportation to San Fran

San Diego.
That's the story. Sea veterans must forgive such

of the men.
AT SEA, Feb. 11 We have passed the Golden Oate
and are now rolling on down the California
co&u, with many well-known points showing up on
the distant shore.
A navy ship loomed up on the horizon this morning,
and Captain Markham and Lt, Cmdr. Mason decided
it was a good time for a "battle stations" drill. The
bosun blew his whistle, the order was given, and
there was a terrific scramble and clatter of feet. All
guns were manned and we were given a demonstra
tion of a lot of new equipment, which we were told
Is simple compared with some of that on battleships
and cruisers.
Next came an "abandon ship" call. Again there was
a great scurrying. We were standing in the bridge,
where reports of the progress of the drill were centered.
Captain Markham turned to a man at a telephone, and
call the sailor who was stationed at
steering apparatus deep in the rear
If he's still there," he said.
The telephone operator spoke into the transmitter,
listened a minute, and said: "He's still there, sir. He
says he can't abandon ship until he is relieved." A
good laugh rolled through the customarily quiet
"Tell him he'd better get out of there." said the
captain. "If this were the real tiling, he'd be relieved

VV Petty officers. We filled ourselves with fried
chicken and French fries. Most of these CPO's have
their lives pretty well mapped out. They are going
to serve out their few more years in the navy, retire
at good pay, and take up something else that will
keep them busy and make them a good living. Many
of them have their own homes and have their post
navy life worked out to the lest detail. They enjoy a
certain distinction on ship, with a good lounging lay
out, good chow and plenty of leisure hour diversions.
The chiefs, as did commissioned officers and others
we met aboard, remarked at length on the lack of man
power in the navy. The men in charge at the shops
said they couldn't do a Job without more personnel.
There was a general feeling of concern over a lack of
enlistments, which some charged to the reaction that
naturally follows a war. A chief told us that there
was some public misunderstanding of navy life; that
never had a man's personal dignity been more re
spected in the navy than now, that people are not
kicked around, and that the boys in his particular
shop were intelligent and efficient, though far more
independent in spirit than men of their grades in other
days.
Among the men we encountered a little sourness,
some good-natured grousing, and general good cheer.
Some of the guys were furtively enthusiastic; they said
they liked the navy, but didn't say it too loudly.
Several told us they intended to reenlist at the end of
their present hitch. One tall kid listened to some
of the talk for a while, ostentatiously lifted his trouser
legs, and "waded" out of the passageway. All of the
fellows to whom we talked liked Capt. Markham and
the AJax outfit generally.
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 11 (Night) Perhaps the biggest
thrill of this cruise came, this afternoon as we
moved into teeming San Diego harbor, center of
tremendous navy sea and air activity. -

several generations. This condi
tion Is caused by enlarged blond
vessels In the nose which frequent
ly rupture mid result In uosrbleeds

Orowing children quite uflrn
have nosebleeds fiom Unto to lime,
li Is a question whether thrse nose
bleeds In growing ehlldien are seri
ous enough to require Irculmcul,
since, without treatment, the con
dition dlsupprura in a few months
or years.
Among the most important causes
of unselileeds are certuln bleeding
sicknesses. When the blood does
nut clot properly, bleeding is par
ticularly likely to show up In vari
ous openings of the Ixxly, Including
the nose. Nnnrbleeds are common
at high altitudes. They occur In ull
kinds of long-lusting or rhronio
anemias, and in certain diseases in
Whlrh fever Is present.
High blood pressure may be as
sociated with extensive noaeblrrd

last a long time and be extrvincly
difficult to atop, li is a question
In such cases, however, as to
whether the nosebleed Is not na

pressure In the blood vessels.

selves without producing difficulty.
Lying down In a quiet room, ab
sence of excitement and cold com
presses will usually help to end an
ordinary nosebleed. In more sever
esses, It may be neceosary for a doc
tor to look into the nose, and per
haps cauterize or park the region
around the blood vessel In the nose
from whlrh the blood la escaping.
