Yes, sir, he was afraid of the water. How did he happen to be out there on that bis; fiat stone? He had tumbled clown a swap bank into the brook hi;-,hcr up. and the current huti nrought him down.

The brook was wide at that poiizt it was wide and shallow. He could hate waded ashore, but he didn't know that. Just now. he was ex- cited. He had seen a fight between two fishermen. Longlegs the Her-

way down in his throat. Swinging .

Jhls hcad that way is a habit of Busters. He was undecided what to do next. Shotild he go up the brook, down the brook. or across

West opened his singleton heart, and declarcr took East's ten with the ace.

Prospects did not look to dec- larer. Dummy's only strength was unreachable because of South's void, and the opponents would scarcely be so accommodating as to lead clubs. Thus, it seemed all too likely that South would come out with four losers - three heart: and the spade ace. There was no point in returning a heart immed- iately; even if East did not lead I trump, dummy's lone trump was too low for a rufter.

Probably hoping against hope. South laid down the spade king. West won and exited with the jack oi diamonds. Declarer won. drew the outstanding trumps and cashed his other diamonds, but all in vain. Naturally, East did not discard any high hearts, and so cleclarcr finally had to surren- der . Now to get back to the arithme- tic mentioned originally. Barring not-to-be expected help from the enemy. South could count. that he would end up a trick short 0! his contract, with only five spades. one heart and three diamonds. So he should have tried a diilerent approach. West was marked with a singleton heart, so South should have led only three high trumps, cashed all three diamond honors. and then made West a present of a second trump trick by throwing him in with the deuce of trumps! By giving up this second trump trick in hearts, and end up with an overtrick'
