been that of getting paratroopers

Mrs. Schmidt tied
sinking boat as her husband fast
ened it to the beacon. They traded
places and she took Linda Lee up
15 feet to the small platform atop
the beacon.
"I tied her there and went down
for Cheryl Lynn." related Mrs.
Schmidt. "By the time we got Les
lie Jr. up top. the boat was gone
and everything we owned, except
a half can of milk and that can
of baby food."
"I said a prayer up every rung
of that ladder." she recalled.
Schmidt stepped clear of the
cruiser with Leslie Jr., just as the
boat went under.
Then the long vigil, the pray
ers, and the frustration began.
Every morning an oil crew boat
passed with 100 yards, the couple
said. "They never saw us al
though we yelled at them."
Schmidt said.
I prayed all the time." Mrs.
Schmidt added, "and God must
have been with us. He saved us."
She fashioned a spoon from a
splinter broken from the beacon
platform and doled the baby food,
spoonful by spoonful, to the older
children. Cheryl had sole rights to
to the can of evaporated milk. The
parents took only water. By late
Thursday or early Friday neither
remembered exactly the food
was gone.
"The thing that got us so much
was that we could see cars and
city lights," Mrs. Schmidt said.
While the Schmidts waited vain
ly, coast Guard airmen were
searching constantly for them. A
Navy helicopter joined the search
for two days.
Then came the unidentified cap
tain and his shrimp boat crew.
"I want to go inland as far as
possible." Mrs. Schmidt says. "I
don't ever want to get on a boat
again."

A U.S. airman sailed the North

for the remote Karoe Islands in
a race against time to get his
bride-to-be to Iceland.
Airman Walter Baldwin. 28, of
Cleveland. Ohio, has covered 1.600

Baldwin went from Iceland to
the Shetland Islands, north of

Irom there to the Faroes. He took
a cattle boat to Aberdeen.
Then he encountered Hans Jens-

smack Grunnigen. When Baldwin
told his story, Jenssen exclaimed
"Why I know Kristen" and took
the airman aboard. Baldwin's next
problem will be getting back with
the girl.

Dear Abigail:
I am in a real fix. I grew my beard just lor fun and to be in tha
spirit of things. Now my wife is enamored with it. Enamored! Sh
is mad about it. She cooks meals fit for a king, turns down all invita
tions to go out. never looks at TV in short we are on a honeymoon
that promises to continue the rest of our married life except my
boss doesn't like this beard business and says he expects some clean
faces around soon. What can I do?
Tired but happy
Listen, pooped, man doesn't live hy bread alone come summer,
if the boss doesn't relent, look for another job. A wife like that Is hard
to come by.
Dear Abigail:
My husband just entered that darned J. W. Kerns Whiskerino and
I am furious He has been too tight to buy me a Norge dryer all thesa
years, though there was always plenty of money for guns and fishinj
poles. Now he says he is showing his love for me by running around
with a bushy face like one of those Neanderthal men. Then he expects
to be a big Joe when he gives me a Norge dryer he wins free at Kerns.
Off he'll go on those hunting trips thinking I should be happy to sit
home with my Norge.
Mrs. Cave Man
Sounds like you deserve a Norge dryer my dear. Too bad yon
