A Stranger’s Dilemma and Wartime Tales Unfold in Columns
A woman on a door lockout seeks help after her door closes with her keys inside while her husband is downtown. A professor’s Sunday bath ends with a snowbound rescue as a neighbor retrieves a coat to free him. The column then reviews Lowell Thomas’s Von Luckner book and recounts daring sea devil exploits, romantic meeting, and wartime heroism. It ends with a punny note on a fictional Fellowship of the Bellows charity for funding British planes.
