in which Snarletti is imprisoned - ' (More cheers.) ' - but that would inevitably damage this priceless relic. We must not think of ourselves in this matter,' the Captain went on, taking another bite of chicken, 'but only of Science!' Then he sat down, amid thunderous applause and last week's washing. Various plans for freeing Snarletti were discussed in the days that followed. It was suggested that we starve Snarletti down to a point where he could get loos, but Snarletti himself pointed out that he would not be any particular good to anybody after starving. This plan was therefore given up. After several more ideas had been proposed and rejected, Snarletti again pointed out that in order to prevent him from starving we would have to get him out and feed him. Nonplussed, we turned once more to Captain Batwell, who was standing idly by, picking his teeth and muttering something about a blonde named Doris. Will continue tomorrow. The great man again considered the matter from all angles, and then lost himself in thought. When he came out of it, there was an awed light in his eyes. 'Men,' he said huskily, in a reverent tone, 'men, I have the solution.' We gathered around, holding our breaths. Captain Batwell needed a bath. 'Men,' he began again, 'we must climb up and pull Snarletti down by the sat of his pangs.' Of course! How simple! But only the Captain would have thought of it. Without stopping to be awed this time, we hawled Snarletti down at once. Well, good-by, Earth, for the time being! 12
