Coming To Svrfnce
At 'The North Pole
..st,:1;(t to „;LI.1,0.0!" The
Wards went out on the loud-
apes:titer system, electrifying the
Vest of the ship. No one outside
'the control center could know
eXactly where we were or how
'we stood Until that word was
passed, But that order told all:
we had gotten our periscope out
eately and had found a place
large enough to hold the ship,
The team Went into action.
Valves were opened and closed,
switches thrown, reports Were
made from all parts of the ship
to tip diving, officer, Finally he
turned to me and reported: "AB
vents shut, ready to surface."
I nodded assent, and he turn-
ed and ordered: "Blow all bal-
last!" ND need to hesitate now;
we could see what we were do-
ing.
The roar of high-pressure" air
in the ballast tanks was ear-
ahattering after the strained
silence of the past hours, The
submarine leaped upward, as
though glad to be at least mom-
entarily free of danger from the
ice. Yet so skillfully was the
job done that the ship moved
scarcely a yard ahead or back-
ward.
"Open the hatch!" I shouted
to the crewmen poised by its
locking dogs, He. spun the
handles and threw the vaultlike
hatch open to the fresh air. As
we stepped out of it and into
the natural atmosphere for the
first time in days, I felt the slap
of damp, cool air almost as a
physical blow, The sky was
lightly overcast, and the effect
was like that of an unseasonably
warm February day in New
England, when. the temperature
hangs just at freezing but
seems warm enough to thaw.
There was almost no wind.
We climbed quickly to the
bridge. The first impression was
of being in an infinite desert of
ice. On the bridge we were
about 25 feet above the water
and there was nothing to oh-
etruc't our view to the surround-
ing horizon. There was nothing
but a flat patchwork maze of
ice floes in every direction. Di-
rectly before us the slender
black hull of the submarine con-
trasted with the deep blue of
the calm lake water and the
stark white of the surrounding
ice, The Skate was (m the sur-
face of the Arctic Ocean deep
Inside the permanent polar pack,
And she was safe. I let out a
long sigh that seemed to reach
to the bottom of the ship,
My companion, who had been
drinking all of this. In with me,
ointed suddenly downward,
near the port side of the 'ship.
There, slowly climbing out of
the water and up onto the ice
was a full-grown polar bear. He
shook himself like a wet dog
▪ and gazed curiously at this in-
truder in his domain. No doubt
he was seeing his first atomic
submarine!
And, judging from his lack of
fear at the sight of the two fig-
ures standing on its bridge, it
was probably his first sight of
man as well. — From "Surface
at the Pole," by Commander
James Calvert, USN.

of animals never stop growing.

Strange Doings
Over In Ulster
Go wandering through Ulster
and you'll get a laugh a mile!
The wonderful humour of the lo-
cals, with their quaint sayings,
their superstitions, their anec-
dotes about women, whiskey and
smuggling, make it a glorious
place to get away from it all.
Travel writer. Oswald Blake-
ston tells many amusing anec-
dotes illustrating this slap-happy
attitude to life.
For instance, during a recent
Our, a woman told him of a son-
in-law who drove a van but was
very short-sighted. When she'd
been with himhe'd ask: "Do you
know this road terribly well,
Mary? Do you mind telling me
when we get to the corners?"
The police had been worried
about him, so he'd put a pin in
a tree close by where he often
met the constable, and one day
said to him "Isn't that a pin
see sticking in that tree over
there?" He walked across to get
it— and tripped over a cow lying
in his path.
.An 91d felleve in Icilloug,h
Blakeston Into a pub and told
him how in Newcastle, Co.
Down, he'd seen a nun outside
one and she'd said, "Don't go in
there, it's depraved."
"Ah, sister," he'd zeplied, "a
drop only warms you. Won't you
come in and have one? Or let me
give you one outside, if you don't
care to come into the place your-
self."
Finally she'd said, "If you
brought it out in a cup, . ." And
the barman had exclaimed, "A
whskey in a cup! Don't tell me
it's that blessed nun again!"
Blakeston asked another old
chap who was drinking whiskey
in a bar: did he get through a
bottle a day? "God love you,"
he answered, "I spill more than
that."
In Sixmilecross Blakeston
went into a shop for cigarettes.
A traveller taking orders pro-
tested 'to the shopkeeper "But
the last time your mother order-
ed three dozen cartons."
"That's not my mother, that's
my wife," said the shopkeeper.
"My mistake," the traveller'
apologized with red face. "Oh
no," said the shopkeeper, "it's
mine."
Blakeston was told of an Eng-
lish angling enthusiasts who
hired a manor house, fishing

ews 'which "were all drawn and
twisted about." Ever afterwards
she had to wear a big black how
on her wrist.
The folk there will tell you:
"You may not believe in such.
things, but too many of them
happen in Ireland. Did we not
have a squire without arms or
legs who rode to hounds in a
bucket, and was it not all due
to the curse of a ghost?"
Another anecdote concerns
Baronscourt, the Duke of Aber-
corn's home. A Marquess there
heard that his wife was about to
elope — and sent her a note say-
ing she should do it in the fam-
ily coach, for "it should never be
said that Lady Abercorn left her
husband's home in a hack
chaise."
Blakeston is such a gifted
travel-writer that he makes
Ulster's attractions irresistible.

book will want to go there for
their next holiday,
How Can I?
By Roberta Lee
Q. How can 1. improvise some
white ink for writing in a black
photo album, when the real
thing is not around?
A. White shoe polish makes a
fine substitute. Shake the bottle
well, dip the pen into it, and
you'll find that some of this
writes ever more clearly than
white ink,
Q. Hew can 1 rejuVeriate wilt-
ed leaf vegetables, such as let-
tuce, spinach, and parsley?
A. By soaking them in cold
water to which a slice of lemon
has been added. In an hour or
so, they will be as fresh as when
gathered.
Q. What is a good way to
make use of every bit of catsup
M. a bottle without Waatei
A. When you have seemingly
emptied the bottle, pour into it
the correct amount of salad' oil,
vinegar, a a d seasoning for
French dressing, and shake vigr
orottsly. That bit of catsup Vvtll
add a piquant flavor,

rights, and gillie. He caught only
one salmon — on his last day.
"Do you know," he said, "that
fish has cost me aS200." "What a
good thing, sir, you didn't catch
more of them," the gillie replied.
At Pettigo on the Eire border
local smuggling stories included
an account of how cattle are
taught to walk backwards so
that if they're spotted being
smuggled into Ulster to claim
the government subsidy', the
drover can say they're walking
the other way!
A clergyman there, Philip
Skelton, suffered from hypo.
chondria and kept on announc-
ing his imminent death from the
'pulpit until the church-warden
said: "Make a date, sir, and stick
to it. Don't be always disappoint-
ing us."
Blakeston records many
quaint sayings he heard in a
first-rate account o,f his tour:
"Thank You Now". A fisherman
finished a funny story: a Man, I
haven't laughed so much since
the day when my father and
mother were married."
When a whole family emerged
from a farmhouse to talk to a
salesman-, Blakeston 'asked the
mother how many children she
had. "Do you mean of the same
kind?" she asked.
At Victoria. Bridge, Tyrone, he
gave a boy sixpence for showing
him the grave of a giant. "I wish
I were buried in such a nice big
grave so that everyone would
treat me decent," said the lad.
At Portaferry he asked a
fisherman what he thought of a
project to throw a bridge across
the fiord and let in a flood of
tourists. "I've worked hard at
the thought," was the reply, "but
how do we 'know if we throw a
'bridge over, those tough Strang-
ford boys won't throw it back
again?"
A Por tar! a w n schoolmaster
said he had a friend who was a
great fellow but he'd had to go
to France because of girl trouble,
and now he'd heard that he'd
had to come bock to Ireland for
the same rea,!en.
By Lough Erne Blalteston gave
a lift to an elderly American wo-
man who said she'd been wan-
dering at the lough side, looking
for a nice spot to sketch in, when
she'd startled a young man with
his girl,
"Come on, let's be going," the
girl had urged,, but he whisper-
ed, "One moment, clarlin i , I think
this ould woman is going to corn-
reit suicide, and that should be
interesting."
Driving through. Antrim,
Blakeston heard this gem from a
traffic cop: "You ought to go
round me, sir, whether I'm here
or not."
Blakeston tells strange stories
of the great houses and castles
he visited. limey, the Earl,
Eishop of Derry, who built
Downhill palace, would invite
his clergy Ito sumptuous ban-
quets-, make them drunk with
Madeira, then order their to
jump and run races and prornOte
...the winners. He'd force them to
mount horses and bet on the re-
sult, and the next day preach a
