Ship's Ammunition
Oust Plain .Hootch
Harold Waters served for
twenty yeaas in the U,S, Coast
GPM* and One experience he'll
asever forget Was when his patrol
ship Tucker chased and eapttlred
the Whisky runner conch Belle
off the east coast Of America.
The smuggler's hull was so
riddled with bullet-holes during
the engagement that she couldn't
be towed into port. $o the
Tucker's skipper decided to haul
Peer alongside and tranship the
whisky cargo AS evidence, stow-
ing it in the machine shop amid-
ships.
The call for all hands to form
a human chain to handle the
sacks full of bottles, was hailed
with enthusiasm. On the share-
and-share-alike basis of "one for
the government, and one for me"
only half the 200 sacks of spirit
reached the machine shop. The
other half vanished behind vens
tilators, stacks, vegetable lockers
and any other hideouts that the
Tucker's officers couldn't see,
When told of the large num-
ber of missing bottles, the skip-
per gave the officers a severe
dressing-down for their lack of
vigilance and ordered an imme-
diate search. But up to midnight
they had found only two sacks
which someone had thrown into
a small dinghy and forgotten to
remove to a better hideout.
"That's not a drop in the
bucket compared with what's still
loose in this ship!" roared the
skipper, "You'd better get busy
first thing in the morning and
field them, if you don't turn up
that missing stuff by to-morrow
night, I'll give you a taste of
hack!" Hack was room-confine-
ment, a drastic punishment car-
xying a feeling of moral stigma
for coast guard officers.
Waters records in a cheerfully
sea-breezy account of his twenty
years with the U.S. Coast Guard
In "Adventure Unlimited" that
the temporary halt in thesearch,
was a signal for celebration.
Sacks and bottles were taken
from their hiding places and all
hands not on watch got glorious-
ly tigh t, drinking furiously
against the clock. It was a night
of revelry and high carnival.
The ship's gunnery depart-
ment — four gunners' Mates and
a chief — had ten sacks (360
bottles) hidden in the magazine.
It was a lot of liquor .to. hide in ,
a compartment already filled
with powder, projectiles, TNT
and small arms 'ammunition, so
the chief ordered them to dump
the ammunition. Into emptied
powder tanks and boxes marked
"High Explosives -- handle with
great care!" went quart after
quart of whisky which was
promptly drawn upon for their
own private party.
Waters doesn't remember pass-
1pg out, but when he awoke the
sun was shining brightly, and
sprawled about him, empty bot-
tles still clutched• in their hands,
and their snores clashing like
buzz-saws, were the prostrate
bodies of his shipMates: And
they were not the only ones
With 'aching heads and, tortured
stomachs. Twenty men in other
departments hadn't been able to
stand their early morning' four-
to-eight watch; the two cooks of
the galley watch were too drunk
to prepare breakfast. It was,
drunken chaos.
At 8 a.m. the hands were or-
dered to muster before the com-
manding officer. Out from, their
lairs they crawled and staggered,
some still drunk, others with
He's One Feller
Back in the spring of 1937 in
an exhibition game between the
Cleveland Indians and the New
York Giants a group of sports-
writers recoiled through sheer
reflex action every time a rookie
Cleveland pitcher unwound him-
Self and flung the ball plateward.
There were, two reasons.'
One was because the press box
at the Vicksburg, Miss., ball
park, where the game was being
played, was set level with the
field and only a scant 10 yards
behind the catcher. The second
was because the pitcher was Bob
Feller, who was throwing with
all the celerity of a machine gun.
That night the wires out of
Vicksburg hummed with stories
about the Van Meter, Iowa, farm

WatOs sAY ,5.
The captain loosed P, broad-
side on their "disgraceful con-
duct," threatening a general
cenrtsrnartial to any 'mars found
with liquor in his possession or
in, any compartment le which he
had the keya.
Turning Abruptly, he slammed
into the yeoman deputized to
write up charges. On the impact
a bottle of whisky slipped from
the yeoman's waist, a down hiS
Pant leg, and crashed on the
steel deck, splashing the skip-
per's shoes, "While you're writ-
ing up charges," he snapped,
"put yourself down for a general
court-martiall" "Aye, aye, sir,"
said the luckless yeoman,
While they stood in ranks in a
broiling sun with parched
tongues, splitting heads, and sick
stomachs, 'the officers combed
the ship, finding loot everywhere,
under pillows, mattresses, in
hammocks, lockers.
Despite the thorough search,
however, the total yield was dis-
appointing. "I.lknow well," bark-
ed the skipper, "there's a lot
more liquor yet to be found .
You may expect surprise
searches from now on, plenty of
them! At any hour of the day or
night!"
While the deck force was
given intensive gun drill the
skipper glowered down from the
bridge, Demonstrating safety
precautions to, a gull crew, the
Chief walked to the breech end
saying: "Having made sure that
the muzzle end of the .gun is
clear, we now swing open the
breech block and—"
As he bent low to look inside,
out shot the first of three whis-
ky bottles from the powder
chamber. '''One hit 'him in the
forehead, stunning him; the
other two crashed on the deck,
"Very interesting, Chic f!"
thundered the Old Man. "You
had a foul bore all right, fouled
with three bottles of whisky!"
The Chief hotly protested that
someone must have dumped the
bottles there the previous night
and forgotten to remove them.
"After all, Captain," he 'added
boldly, "if we were the kind of
rascals you think us to be, you
should credit us with more intelli-
gence than trying to hide liquor
in a gun that is right under
your nose."
"And where else would you
put your stolen liquor, if you're
the kind of rogues I have some
season to suspect you of being?"
"Down in the magazine, Cap-
tain" — with a casualness that
almost took the crew's breath,
away. "That's where I would
hide the stuff. That is, if I had
stolen any of it. Why don't you
look down there?" To the others'
relief, the skipper just laughed.
Actually, the magazine had been
searched by the gunnery officer
and no liquor found: thanks to
the Chief's forethought in throw-
ing, overboard enough explosives

Mines, There is till bantam
corn, petunias, asters and phlox,
The lilac remains one of our
most popular and beautiful
shrubs But there is little simi-
larity except in name with those
plants in our garden today.
There has been a vast improve-
ment in quality, in productive-
ness, in colours and in resistance
to disease,
Not so many years ago garden
corn, for instance, was a luxury
in many parts of Canada. It
took, too long to mature, It was
not hardy enough except for
the warmer aection of the coun-
trys And when "We did succeed
in growing" e few cobs, the sea-
son lasted only a few days. 'In
flowers and shrubs, 00, we were
limited te a few ,standard col-
ours, net very bright and all
gone in a matter of days.
Now, with vast 'improvements
in hardiness, colouring and
quality, we can have gardens
almost anywhere -in Canada,
right up into the Y,ukon and
around Great Slave lake if
necessary. And we can have
fresh vegetables and bright
blOom from early in. the Spring
until even after the first frosts
in the Fall.
Spread It Out
It is foolish to plant all the
garden on a single afternoon
just as soon as, the first warm
weather comes. A late frost may
ruin all tender growth and if
it does escape frost, all the
flowers will come out early or
all the vegetables will be ready
at the same time.
With the vegetables especially,
it is advisable to spread sowings,
so that' the harvest may he
spread out also. Experienced
gardeners make a ;regular prac-
tice of planting such things as
carrots, beets, lettuce, beans,
spinach, radish, etc., at least •
three times, about two or three
weeks apart. To further spread
the harvest, they 'will also use
early, medium and, late varieties.
There is no good reason why
the, vegetable garden 'should not
yield continually• from early
summer until late fall., And the
same" goes for most' annual
flowers, too.
Centrepiece
Virtually, every garden, for-
mal or informal is built -around
a lawn. The latter is the real
centrepiece, and the smoother
and greener it • is the better it
shows off the' flowers, shrubbery
and 'home.: There are a lot of

posedly paid Feller a tidy $a0,-
000, with a bonus clause attached,
based on attendance, which may
have added another $10,000 to his
salary.
Bob probably picked up an-
other $25,000 in endorsements.
He lends his name to such pro-
ducts as" ice 'cream, sports wear,
peanut butter, shaving cream,
and breakfast food. However, he,
was always extremely careful
never to allow his name to be
used for cigarette or liquor ad-
vertising, or anything which he
felt would not be of benefit to
young people, many of whom
had formed fan clubs in his hon-
or.
As, a pitcher, Feller probably
was the best of his time. He was
a 20-game winner as recently as
1951 and his victory total for 21
years is an eye-popping 266, In-
cluded in that number are three
no, hitters and 12 one hitters. In
fact, if he hadn't spent three of,
his most productive years in the
service, he might have been
baseball's first 300-game winner
since Bob Grove.
This may seem relatively small
to some old-timers who recall
Cy Young's 500-plus wins, but
remember Young was pitching in
the era, of thesis-called dead'ball,
when four .or five hOme.runs was
enough to lead the majors. Today
even the smallest players hit
their out of the park. '
The lone blot on Feller's rec-
ord, if, -you can calla it that, was •
that he neverwon a World Series
game. Johnay SaM and the Bos-
ton•Braves beat him, 2-1, in the
opening 'game of the 1948 fall
classic, and !although Bob came
- back again later in the series it
just wasn't his afternoon.
The Indians have retired his
unifprrn. (Nd. 19) and" already
there is "talk of 'Bob moving into
