' "Some of these story-writtin' fel

lers have some pretty exciting

times getting the dope for their

stories, I guess," began Al Stubbs,

recorder of happenings of the Pi

rate Six. "I got a letter here from

my oldest cousin up in Philadel phia, and he tells me about meet ing Rex Peach, who writes the sto

lies about Alaska. I should read it?

Like one the other five members of the Pirate Six, grouped comfortably about the Cave on soap boxes, answered with a "sure!" They leaned forward as Al unfolded the letter. On the Copper River "My cousin Edgar's his nameEdgar met Mr. Beach about two weeks ago," began Al by way of introduction, "and he got Mr.

Beach to tell him about gettin?; stuff for stories. An' this is what Edgar writes me: "One summer about six years ago Rex Beach, with his brother-in-law, Fred Stone, the comedian,

were towing a small boat up the swift Copper River in Alaska. Mr. Beach was in search of material for fiction stories. " 'The Copper River is a pecul

iar stream because one shore of it

Is covered with a towering glacier

a solid mass of ice as high, or

higher than a twenty-four story

building, miles long and several miles wide. The other shore of the

river is like that of any other

stream, except that it is many feet above the water level. The swift current lias worn a deep bed. " 'Well, the two men were going up the river during the summertime, and at this time of the year iMr. Beach says it is not uncommon for hugO chunks of ice to crack off the glacier (ijjd fall with a tremendous roar' that can be hsjird

ior miles around, into the STreai.-; below. The water splashes, high.

I Chunks of ice fly through the tir.

vuu a regular uaai wave is created, sweeping down stream and picking up and destroying everything in its path. Ice Falls Uncomfortably . Near "'As the two adventurers slowlv

made their way against the strong, swift current, the roar of cracking ice came to their ears frequently. And sometimes this ominous thundering seemed uncomfortably near. Poth prayed that no ice would fall and catch them-. "'And then, suddenly, both were

! astonished to hear a deafening roar

right across the river from them.i

They looked up at the

slowly a great chunk of ice Mr. Beach solemnly declares it was as big as the great Flat Iron Building in New York City was breaking away from the glacier. And the two men were right in its path' ""Til tell you we hurried some." Mr. Beach told me. They realize that if they could get several hundred feet above the spot where the chunk would fall they would be fairly safe, for the effects of the wave created by the fall would be greatest down stream, and not up. Slowly the chunk was toppling toward the river. Safe! " 'They made it all right. About a hundred yards upstream, above the falling chunk of ice, the two turned about to watch the spectacle. With one huge roar, the giant piece of ice broke from the elacier

and crashed down into the river.

Chunks of ice flew high. Water

splashed up. The river was thrown

into a turmoil. Mr. Beach says it was one of the most thrilling sights he has ever seen.' " Boys' and Girls' Newspaper. EATS 'EM AT KI-RO "Jim never ate baked beans at home but he eats 'em at KJ-Ro and likes 'em," said the father of one of the boys who went to camp in the third period.
