It cannot be said too often or too emphatically that so-called rules of play must be altered to meet the situation at hand. For example. in the following case the idea of ”makini: declarcr use up his trumps" was a very bad ideal

'And that box seemed to be mov- ing. Jerry was getting a free ride. ;The box had drifted out into the lcurrent, and Jerry was on 'his way iio see mm of the Great World than he ever had dreamed of.

As you know. Jerry is a very gc ' swimmer. His first thought was to swim ashore. But the share was farther off than .. . .ss in the habit of swimming. To him it look- ed very, very far away. Really it wasn't nearly as far as it looked. lie hesitated. Should he swim. or should he stay on that old box. He decided to stay. He didn't quite dare do otherwise.

"What in the world are you do- ing way out here?" asked a voice overhead.

All this made the oontract look extremely doubtful, but South saw one hope. He led a diamond. East took the jack with the king and, as South had hoped, returned a spade. Declare: ruffed and led his last diamond. Again East returned a spade to force declarer. South was not reluctant about ruffinx: indeed, he then led to the club king and ruffed dunimy's last spade on his own account.

Now, reduced to the A-K-10 of trumps and three clubs, South laid down the trump ace, then ran his clubs. When the fourth club was played West had to ruff-and it didn't matter whether he ruffed low or high. If he ruffed low. dum- my would over-ruti with the eight; and after West actually ruffed with the jack, he had to return it trump from the Q-7 up to de- ciarer's K-10.

East had led too, many spades: this was not a hand in which to shorten decla.rer"s trumpsi

ing a sort of free. ride. How Lar do you expect to go?"

That was question Jerry Musk- rat couldn't answer. Jorry was be- ginning to be a little frightened.
