where
later

Hess,
who
arrived
in

from
Vancouver
on
Thursday
to
fish

lost
all

in

he

The
fire
broke

when

in

as

struck
a

arose
Immediately
between

and
he
was
forced
to
dash
through
It
to
safety.
Shortly
afterward
the
small

was
wracked
by
at
least
two
more
explosions
so
violent
that
they
blew
the
top
off
the
cabin
and
lifted
the
deck

Efforts
of
navy
men
and
other
boat
owners
to
put
the
fire
out
with
chemical
extinguishers
seemed
to
succeed
for
a
time,
but
flames
broke
out
again
and
the

was
towed

in

by

expressed
by
a

of

in

last

He
scored

as

declaring
that

had
sacrificed

principles
In
order
to
fight

"I
s&ggest
to
you
that,
If
you
are
prepared

in

The

that

It
found
itself
in

The.
defeat
of
Germany
was
not
sufficient
goal
for
the
prosecution
of
the
war.
"We
shall
only
know
whether
this
was
worthwhile
or
not
by
the
type
of

which
emerges
from
It.
After
the
last
war
we
were
satisfied
that
the

as
we
knew
It
before
the

was
good
enough.
There
