moet jy skerp regs of links draai en rats na die voorpunt van jou branderplank beweeg. Die grootte van die branders verskil van plek tot plek. In Hawaii ry mense branders wat soms dertig tot veertig voet hoog is, maar in Suid- Afrika is die grootste branders tien tot vyftien voet en selde meer as twintig voet hoog. Die kleiner branders is gewild as 'n mens fratsry wil beoefen, byvoorbeeld as hy agteruit wil ry of 'n paar keer in die rondte wil draai. Dit is nie nodig om baie naby die see te woon om 'n goeie branderryer te wees nie, want 'n mens kan met rolskaatse oefen. Rubberwiele is die veiligste, maar ook die stadigste. Nylonwiele is amper net so veilig, maar dis baie vinniger. Staalwiele is natuurlik die vinnigste, maar hulle is daarom die gevaarlikste omdat hulle gly as jy te skerp of te vinnig draai. Ek voorspel dat branderry se gewildheid in die Republiek snel sal. toeneem. COLLISION AT SEA W. WARD, 7a. The fifty-thousand-ton bulk ore-carrier "Statesman" was ploughing its way sedately up the Channel. Silence was shattered by a buzz from the radar room. "Number One, here," I said, and the duty officer reported excitedly: "Unidentified object one mile ahead." I acknowledged and passed on the report to the captain. I ordered course to be changed ten degrees starboard. "Boom-boom!" The foghorn made the clammy, dense fog resound with its strident note. Once more the radar room called my attention. "Objeét balf a mile abead", and a moment later tbe port lookout sighted ber. "Hard a port, full astern!" I ordered, and deep in the bowels of the ship tbe telegraph rang. There was a tense silence, and all eyes were riveted on the now becalmed two-masted gaff-rigged schooner. It was towing a small pram dinghy about a cable behind it. I was standing behind the captain and I could see his knuckles white as they clenched the guard rail. J could feel the perspiration beading my forehead. Four-forty yards to go and the bows were beginning very slowly to swing to port, and from that distance we could discern the crew of the schooner leaping overboard. The way was beginning to come off the ship but it was not going to be sufficient and I could see that they were going to be minus a dinghy. A few brave Splflts who remained aboard the schooner were pulling like mad on the dinghy's painter. We were slowly, inexorably eating up the distance separating us, and there was a crunch and bits of wood floated past our bows. We surged past the stern of the schooner itself, sending her rocking frantically. From the bridge I touched the peak of my cap in greeting and apology to the skipper of the scbooner, whose only reply was a furiously brandished fist. DANGER IN THE FOREST P". SWIFT, 6a. The shadow paused, baffled. Which way now? Where could it run to evade the nightmare bearing down on it? A rustle. With a start it leapt up and tore across the common. It ran for ages, witb the fear of impending doom lending wings to its feet. On and on, with only one thought etched in its brain - escape! It stopped again, panting. Would this chase never end? It felt sure of its fate and yet, while there's life there's hope, and it must go on hoping. It moved over a clearing toward some rocks, among which it lay concealed. For more than an bour it waited until, out of curiosity, it crept out, cautiously, but becoming more sure with every step. ".I've done it!" it thought triumphantly. "I've lost him!" But what was tbat outlined against the sky, crouched to spring off the rock? A swift leap, a thud, and tbe smell of blood. That night a family of foxes fed on a newlykilled rabbit. THE STORM Softly at first I heard the rain, C. DAVIS, 6a. Then very much stronger I heard it again. Slowly at first, Then quicker and quicker, A~ the clouds rolled up Thicker and thicker. Lightning struck l.ike a bolt from the blue, From the heavens dark and black of hue. P. SH.ELTON, 6a. 21
