10:00 a. m.—Oh! dear! Another
warm day! Wonder if III be abused aa
I was yesterday. If I am, I am go
ing to strike. Just disposed of a
half-chewed breakfast. We ran fot
the train, which meant I was so
jiggled about and so tired that it
took me twice as long to do my work.
Hope she gives me an hour or two of
complete rest before anything else
comes my way.
10:30 a. m.—Two glasses of ice
water just arrived. It will take all
the energy 1 can pump up in the next
hour to warm me up to normal again.
10:60 a. m.—Half chewed breakfast
did not satisfy her, and she bought
some peanuts and started again.
12:00 noon—Peanuts have dribbled
along ever since last entry. Think
she has finished them, though.
12:80 p. m.—Decided she wasn't very
hungry, and instead of a good solid
dinner, sent me down a cold egg n>g,
heavy with chocolate. Could have
managed it all right, if it hadn't
been so cold; but that makes it terri
bly hard to deal with.
1:10 p. m.—More ice water.
1:30 p. m.—Was mistaken about
the peanuts. She found another hand
ful in the bottom of the bag, and now
I have to tend to them.
3:05 p. m.—More ice water.
8:10 p. m.—She has been lifting
some heavy books and. aa usual, used
my muscle* instead of her arm mus
cles, as she should have done; tired
me more than digesting a six course
dinner.
3:20 p. m.—Some one has brought
us a bos of caramels, and she started
on that!
4:80 p. m.—Have iec*W*d some
thing like half pound of camnels
sine* last entry. She Just said, "Oh!
dear! 1 dont feel a bit well. I know
the milk in that egg tog must have
bean •oar.*'
6:80 p. Si.—We played a sat of ten
nis before dinner, and hare I am all
tired out, and a dinner to handle.

HURLING JEST AGAINST
THE GALE, RADIO
MAN SINKS WITH SHIP
Relief Ship Radios "We're
Coming." He Replies, "Sorry
Can't Wait; Pressing Busi
ness Elsewhere," and is Still
New Yotlc. March 8.—The (trim hu
mor of a wireless operator, who
laughed at death and flashed strik
ing bits of wit into the ether as his
ship, the Norwegian steamer Gront
oft, wallowed and slowly sank daring
a mid-Atlantic hurricane last Thurs
day, was recorded on the radio log of
the Danish steamer Estonia, arriving
today.
Each detail of the ship's plight,
each call for aid, was supplemented
by the jesting comment of the radio
man, whose identity is still unknown.
He talked as if he were going on a
Isrk in port, instead of to the bottom
of the sea. His last message, a dis
jointed one, was s series of witticisms
—with death as the butt of the joke.
The Estonia, herself hard hit in the
110-mile gale, made a valiant but un
successful effort to reach the Gront
oft, which first sent out calls for aid
at 10 o'clock last Thursday morning,
reporting her position as shout 700
miles east of Cape Race. The Estonia
at that time was 48 miles west of the
disabled Norwegian and steaming in
an opposite direction. Captain Hans
Jorgenson ordered his ship about snd
she steamed toward the Grontoft.
Meanwhile, Radio Operator Han
sen engaged the operator of the
Grontoft In conversation. The latter
seat oat first the following, a stereo
typed troey of the seas:
"God pity the poor sailors on a
night like this." Then followed a series
of "Ha. ha "a."
"And say," he continued, "the old
man thinks this cabs will be over by
nightfall. Ws son need some breese."
Later aa argent call for aid was
sent oat by the Oroateft; her opera
tor jested again.
"Wall, the steward to aakiag sand
wicbes for the Hfehoats Looks like
we were going on a picnic."
Again a half-hour later he lent:
The old wagon haa a liat like a
rundown heel. Thia ia no weather for
a fellow to be out in without an um
brella."
"Hold on," returned the Eatonia'a
wireless, "Well be alongiide soon."
The Grontoft did not reply until 40
minutes later. Then:
"We are sinking stern first. The
boat* are smashed. Can't hold out
any longer.
"Hie skipper dictated that—he
ought to know—where did I put my
hat—sorry we can't wait for you;
pressing business elsewhere."
The Estonia's operator quoted in
these lines:
"What dam of lance.* brought thee
forth.
"To jest at dawn with death?"
But there was no answer.
Six hours after picking up the first
call from the Grontoft, the Estonia
reached her reported position, and
though aha cruised about for four
hour*, failed to find even a trace of
wreckage.
The Grontoft. from Galveston, New
Orleans and Norfolk, was en rout* for
Eabjerg. She had a crew of 80.
