of us.
We crept up cautiously and just
as we came over a little knoll,
saw a big gobbler running about
a hundred yards away.
I cut down on him and got him
“plumb center” for he keeled over
and did not even flop.
We picked him clean of feathers
before going into camp, and then
gave our signal whistle. We heard
three whistles and thought all was
0. K.
What was our surprise when we
saw a man silting at our camp
and seemingly wailing for us. But
it was too late now. He had seen
us.
“Well, boys you got one, eh?,’’ he
greeted us. That turkey is enough
to make me a fine dinner and to
send you up for two months,” he
laughed.
Now weren’t we in for it. 1
thought of myself in jail and how
people would make sport of me
after I got out.
Well, do you know that fellow
tormented us and played with us
like mice in a trap for about two
hours before he admitted he lived
“just back yon way,"
noticed our camp fire.
He had come down to see “who
it might be,” and decided to have
some fun at our expense.
We found out later, that
our
chum had gotten mixed up in his
signals. He was so afraid we’d be
caught and gave one whistle loo
many.
Well, we were glad it was not

FRED NYC, ’24.
The whole city was agog. News
had just reached the small town
of Harrisburg that the K-2, a cap-
tured German submarine, was to
be run into the ship channel under
its own power, on Friday the thir-
teenth, between ten and eleven a.m.
On that certain morning small
groups of people were scattered
for a mile up the river, on both
its banks, anxiously awaiting the
arrival of the much talked of K-2;
for a submarine was something
no one had ever seen, or hoped to
see again.
Quite naturally I was there. It
was never said of me that 1 missed
seeing anything worth while. Al
exactly 10:40 a. m. the K-2 was
sighted.
The submarine made compar-
atively slow progress and docked
at 11:10 a. m. Everyone made a
“center-rush” for the craft and 1
was the thirteenth and last pas-
senger allowed on board for a trip
up the channel. The skipper asked
me to help him pull in the gang
plank and while 1 was doing this
he asked, “Do you know that to-
day is Friday, the thirteenth?” To
which I nodded assent. “Well, you
must not be superstitious then for
you are the thirteenth.” “No, I’m
not a bit superstitious, but I sup-
pose you are,” I replied, “Yes, all
sailors are a bit superstitious, and
1 think something unlucky will
turn up before we get back. But
it is time we are starling, so go
below and we’ll go under the sur-
face for a while.”
I climbed down through the
man-hole, followed by the skipper
who closed the door. There were
berths all around the sides of the
submarine about a foot wide with
a big mirror al one end of the
room,—these were the only fur-
nishings. The skipper then an-
nounced that everyone would be
