This week s Bruin twister news was flashed across by the Atlantic about the sink ing of the it ook my mind Back to the time i aboard that vessel. It was Dur ing the round the world trip i made n 1937 and 1938. After spending weeks in Egypt boarded the Rawalpindi at port Aid. From that place the vessel steamed through the Suez canal then Down the red sea. There was Winter weather at the time in Canada and most parts of Surope and the United Stales but he red sea journey was like pass no through a bake oven. It lasted about three Days so i Felt Well naked by the time i reached Aden Arabia. Despite the heat i took part in several games of 1 was taught this game by several Young englishmen who were on their Way to Southern Asia to spend two 01 three years. Darts had become popular in England and they Hac brought along the target and feathered darts to amuse them selves after they were settled found the game a great Deal of fun and was sorry 1 had not picked i a set while i was in England. When a vessel sails from the rec sea to the Indian Ocean it passe through the Gate of tears. Jus about when that happened i Hai cause for sorrow. I was overcome by a tropical illness and in a Daj or two was admitted to the Shi Hospital. The Hospital prove to be a one room affair and i a the Only patient. The lost part i saw of the Rawalpindi was a stairway which was let Down to the water s Edge while the ship Lay at Anchor in the Harbor of Colombo Ceylon. Men carried me Down the stairway on a Stretcher and i was placed aboard a launch which the ship s doctor had brought out by sending a wireless message before reaching port. Quite a crowd of passengers gathered to see me off. I raised m rather weakly to bid them Farewell. Perhaps some of them wondered whether i would Ive to Tell the tale. The Rawalpindi was a Rathe old Steamer. It used to Roll Abou quite a bit when the weather rough. For this reason it was Nick named the Uncle Ray.
