THE CRUEL SEA—
A Novel by Nicholas Monsarrat
This is the story—the long and true
story—of one ocean, two ships, and
about a hundred and fifty men. It is
a long story because it deals with a
long and brutal battle, the worst of
any war, It has two ships because
one was sunk and had to be replaced.
It has a hundred and fifty men be-
cause that is a manageable number
of people to tell a story about. Above,
all, it is a true story because that is
the only kind' worth telling,
First the ocean, the steep Atlantic
stream. The map will tell you what
that looks like; threecornered, three
thousand miles across and a thousand
fathoms deep, bounded by the Europ-
ean coastline and half of Africa and
the vast American continent on the
other side; open at the top like a
champagne glass, and at the bottom
like a municipal rubbish-dumper.
What the map will not tell is the
strength and fury of the ocean ,its
moods, its violence ,its gentle balm,
its treachery; what men can do with
it, and what it can do with men. But
this story will tell you all that,
Then the ship, the first of the two,
the doomed one. At the moment she
seems far from doomed; she is new,
untried ,lying in a river that lacks
the tang of salt water, waiting for the
men to man her. She is a corvette, a
new type of escort ship, an experi-
ment designed to meet a desperate
situation still over the horizon. She
is brand new; the time is November
1939; her name is H.M.S, Compass
Rose.
Lastly, the men, the hundred and
fifty men, They come onto the stage
in twos and threes; some are early,
some are late, some, like this pretty
ship are doomed. When they are as-
sembled, they are a company of sail-
ors. They have women, at least a hun-
dred and fifty women, loving them,
or tied to them, or glad to see the last
of them as they go to war.
But the men are the stars of this
story .The only heroines are the ships:
and the only villian the cruel sea it-
self.
THE BLESSING
by Nancy Mitford
"The Blessing is an unmixed one,
gay without triviality, funny without
laboriousness, and candid without
coarseness. Grace, Allingham, the
beautiful blonde daughter of a dis-
tinguished member of Parliament,
falls deeply in lov,e with the Marquis
Charles Edouard de Valhubert. Char-
les-Edouard, tall,—dafk, elegant and a
war hero,, has 'an eye for all beauti-
ful things, from pictures to women.
He has n6' difficult* in disengaging
the bnatteous Grace from a hand-
some but dull Englishman; marries
her; leaves her for a period while he
is in war service;' returns to greet
his small son, Sigistriond (the "bless-
ing"); and carries his family off;
first to the ancestral estate in Pro-
vence, then to the ancestral mansion
in Paris, The fun lies ,of .'course, in
the contrast between Grace's con-
servative moral universe and that of
the continental Charles-Edouard.
The rock on which they split, natur-
ally, is their differing view of the
nature and importance of infidelity.
This somewhat risky subject is hand-
led by Miss Mitford with a frankness
that is never offensive, because the
peccadilloes of Charles-Edouard are
described with such outrageous com-
icality and charm.
"The Blessing is an extraordinary
combination of satire and high jinks,
Miss Mitford is out to have as much
fun as possible ,and to extract from
the spectacle of impropriety as much
comedy as the traffic will bear."
THE ROAD TO BITilYNIA
by Frank G. Slaughter
(A novel of Luke, the beloved phy-
sician.)
- Set against a brilliant, barbaric
panorama of the Middle East in the
years immediately following the
Crucifixion, the dramatic story of
Luke, biblical physician and chron-
icler of the life of Christ, forms a
novel of raging emotions iterwoven
with deep religious feeling.
It is the story of Luke's search for
peace in a tempestuous age and of
the many fascinating figures he
meets in this quest: sturdy, humble
Peter, Jesus' chosen representative;
Herod, licentious and treacherous
King of the Jews; and strange, fiery
Paul, most zealous missionary of the
New Gospel. He witnesses the trial
and stoning of Stephen in Jerusalem;
orgiastic sacrifices to the bull god
Mithras in Antioch; blood curdling
arena spectacles in Caesarea. He
studies medicine at the charlatan
Temple of Askleplos in Pergamum
and marches with the Roman legions
against the rebellious Paphiagoni-
ans. As a doctor and companion to
Paul, the travels through the major
cities of the biblical world, and in
sharp contrast to the violence which
continuously surrounds the early
Christians is the tender love story of
Luke and the beautiful Thecia, one of
Paul's followers,
The Road To Bithynia may be
called a fictional biography, It may
be classed as a realistic adventure
story, or an authentic, credible,
romantic history of a biblical age,
But, above all, it is a sincere re-ligious noVel, 'of A. scientist who leSes
his skepticism by finding peace in
the teachings of Jesus.
In spite of the numerous blizzards
through the week, Christmas Day
was fine and the snow plows did a
