You should know the limits of your boat and what it will do and can be made to do if those limits are exceeded. Presumably you know those two basic rules — don’t * over power, don’t overload. But do you know exactly when your boat is overloaded or overpowered in calm water and more important, in rough? Rules at best are only words and boating expert Willard Cran dall insists that every boat owner should find out their hows, their whys, and their limits with his own boat. You can find out by testing your boat in shallow water. Try it with the extra passenger you’ve won dered about, with a bigger motor; try a sudden V-shaped turn; check how your boat responds to vigor ous rowing. Calm water is good for your first tryout, but don’t hesitate to follow it up with a session of rough water. That’s where you’ll learn. Just make sure the water is shallow and you’re close to shore. And put on a swim suit. If you’re beyond active age, en list the help of some teenagers. Most of them are interested in boats. Fasten a sandbag or rock near A S the gates closed behind him. Chuck thought of the warden’s words to him, “Good luck, Saund ers. I hope, for your sake, we don’t see you here again. “ The warden shook his hand then, because he was a good guy, gave Chuck a slip of paper bearing a name and address. “I’ve got a friend," he said, “Who was here once. Now he’s got a ranch up in the northern part of the state. I’m sure he’ll give you a Job.” Chuck had stuffed the paper in his pocket, but he knew he’d never get to that ranch. What he had in mind would land him right back here. It was fifty miles from the state prison to Hanson, his home town. Those miles gave him time to think. He had had ten years to think. That was a big slice out of any man’s life. He had been twen ty when he went in; now he was thirty. Because he was just a kid at the time, they gave him fifteen years with time off for good be havior. When the verdict came in, he had wanted to curse them because they were too dumb to see the truth. But they weren’t the ones who were really to blame. When you were behind the wheel, stink ing of cheap whiskey and out like a light and the guy in the street was dead, you were guilty Nobody believed there had been two peo- pie in the car and that the other fiy was driving. He’d never forget that night he ani Tom drove out to the road house and started home again after Tom bought the pint of whiskey. They hadn’t gone three miles when it happened. Tom had raised the bottle for a drink and hadn’t seen the man step out into the street He had yelled at Tom. but not in time When he came to, smelling like a brewery, he was slumped over the wheel Tom had stayed just long enough to pull him over and pour on the whiskey All during the trial. Tom claimed Chuck had tak- motor. In the important swamp ing test you’ll want to find out just what position the filled boat will float in, and just what meth ods of clinging to it are best. All other tests and tryouts are sur prisingly easy: Will your boat really tip dan gerously if two stand up to cast at once? Are your air tanks, if you have them, in condition to sup port the boat? Will the floor boards come out easily, and will they support you if they do? How about the gas can? The bigger it is, the less there’s in it, the more buoyancy. How about that life vest? Will it hold you up and in what position? Experience has shown that most small boats will support the oc cupants and motor even when full of water; and if a small boat is upset—turned over—very likely it will support occupants and motor. But don’t just suppose that your boat will too; find out now. when filling out marriage license blanks. Oh well!

They believed him. Well, he’d served his time now. He had counted every minute un til he could get back to Hanson and Tom. He knew when he got through with Tom he’d be right back in prison, but this time he’d be pay ing for something he did. not taking the rap for somebody else. The town hadn't changed much, a little older was all. He left his bag at the station. It would be handy to pick up when he started back. In a phone booth he thumbed through the directory until he found the name Tomas Denton and the address. 412 Fuller Drive. He walked from the station and out the dark streets to Fuller Drive with its big houses, clipped hedges and green lawns. Chuck felt as conspicuous on the porch of this house as a work horse would feel in the Kentucky Derby, but he had the advantage. Tom’s borrowed time had run out. “Yes, sir?” a woman in a maid’s uniform asked from the doorway. “Tom Denton, please.” Chuck said. The woman steped back and the light in the hall fell on her face, showing a look of distress. “We’re friends,” Chuck ex plained, ’Tell him Chuck Saunders, he’ll know who it is.” The woman looked as if she might cry. *T’m terribly sorry, Mr Saunders. It was such a shock to us Mr. Denton died day before yesterday—a heart attack. He was buried this afternoon. I’ll tell Mrs Denton you’re here.” Dead. He couldn’t believe it. He’d waited ten years for this moment and now ironically, it had been snatched from him. You couldn’t kill a man who was dead already “Thanks, no.” he backed away and hurried down the steps. Going down the walk with his hands in his pockets he felt the slip of paper with an address on it.
