An
editor
somewhere
decided
to
write
the
truth
about
a
wedding
according
to
his
own
lights
and
here
is
what
he
wrote:
The
groom,
is
a
popular
young
bum
who
hasn't
done
a
lick
of
work
since
he
got
shipped
in
the
middle
of
his
Junior
year
at
college.
He
manages
to
dress
well
and
keep
a
suuuly
of
spending
money
because
his
dad
is
a
softhearted
old
fool
who
takes
.
up
his
bad
cheques
instead
of
'.letting
him
go
to
jail
where
het
belongs.
The
bride
is
a
skinney,
fast
.
little
Idiot
who
has
been
kissed
!lliand
handled
by
every
boy
in
town
since
she
was
12
years
4.
old.
'She
paints
like-
a
Sioux
Indian,
sucks
cigarettes
and
drinks
mean
corn-liquor
when
fhe,
is
out
joy-riding
In
her
ilad's
car
at
night.
-She
doesn't
know
how
.to
cook,
.tew
or
keep
house.
The
groom
wore
a
rented
dinner
suit
over
athletic
un-
derwear
of
imitation
silk.
His
v
pants
were
held
up
by
pale
green
suspenders.
His
number
eight
patent-leather
shoes
matched
his
state
of
tightness
and
harmonized
nicely
with
the
axle-grease
polish
of
his
hair.
In
addition
to
his
jag
he
carried
a
pocket-knife,
a
bunch
of
keys,
a
bottle-opener,
a
dun
for
the
rented
suit
he
was
wearing
and
his

The
How
to
her
Taqslsjtance
but
the
huge
seas
prevented
them
from
coming
alongside.
At
three
o'clock
in
the
morning,
Lieut.
J.
Tate,
R.N.V.R..
from
ILM.S."Baldur
II,
reached
the
ship
in
a
landing
craft
but,
unable
to
get
aboard,
was
forced
to
work
around
to
the
lee
of
the
island.
There
he
was
piloted
to
a
cove
by
an
Icelander.
Einar
Sugurdsson,
who
had
followed
him
In
a
second
landing
craft
"with
a
rescue
party
of
30
Royal
Navy
ratings.
Sigurdsson
led
the
party
across
the
island
to
the
stricken
ship
and
at
dawn
the
work
of
rescue
was
gotten
under
way.
At
7:40
.am.
xi
line
was
.shot
across
to
Skeena
from
Coston
gun,
a
heavier
line
was
taken
bapk
and
the
men
were
hauled
ashore
in
Carley
floats.
At
8:30
all
those
who
had
stayed
in
the
ship,
Including
the
captain
and
his
officers,
were
safe
on
land.
The
hours
between
midnight
anil
daylight
were
a
period
of
extreme
trial.
Every
officer
and
man
was
soaked
to
the
bkin.
The
battered,
helpless
ship
never
ceased
twisting
and
grinding
the
rocks.
She
was
holed
in
her
forepeak,
Itoiler
rooms
and
engine
rooms,
and
oil
from
her
fuel
tanks
flooded
her
-decks.
Bad
as
their
condition
was.
Skeena's
officers
and
men
bore
up
superbly.
With
the
arrival
or
the
rescue
party
the
strong
assisted
the
weak
into
the
floats
and
then
manned
the
lines
leading
from
the
ship.
A
number
toiled
with
that
courageous
Viking,
Einar
Sigurdsson;
neck-deep
in
water,
dragging
shipmates
to
safety.
From
the
Jee
of
the
island,
the
men
suffering
from
exposure
were
rushed
to
hospital.
Those
who
had
not
been
severely
af
fected
by
wet
and
cold
were
taken
to
Royal

foarracks
and
United
