Captain Lenin, Captain Trotsky and today Captain Stalin have never been afraid to alter Russia's course?the course of over one-seventh of the world?by a sudden titan's tug at the helm. Last week Captain Stalin tugged...
...official explanation, sufficiently remarkable, of why Col. Walery Slawek resigned last week was that his Finance Minister, Col. Ignace Matuszewski, "wished to resign." In the Slawek Cabinet Col. Prystor was Minister of Industry & Commerce, a subject with which he was notoriously unacquainted. Upon stepping to Poland's helm last week Premier Prystor reappointed Joseph Pilsudski Minister of War, appointed Jan Pilsudski (brother) Minister of Finance. The former Minister of Finance, Col. Matuszewski who so conveniently "wanted to resign," will be appointed by Col. Prystor as Polish Minister to the Court of St. James's, according to Warsaw gossip...
...spanking breeze was blowing up one day last fortnight as the schooner Livonia nosed out to sea past Plana Cay near Acklin Island, Bahamas. At the helm was Rt. Rev. Roscow George Shedden, Anglican Bishop of Nassau, master and owner of the Livonia.

To visit his flock he had embarked...

Outmoded as a racer, Ingomar was owned for a while by the late great Marcus Alonzo Hanna's sporting son Daniel, later used as a houseboat...
...time in more than 300 years, so Japanese courtiers said, the officially divine Emperor, the Son of Heaven, went out last week "alone."' That is to say, Emperor Hirohito, climbed into a small motorboat, sternly commanded his entourage not to follow, and chugged off for the afternoon. At the helm was a common fisherman who did not count and two other common fishermen crouched beside him in the stern. Upon the prow sat the Divine One, eagerly peering out upon the waters through his spectacles for interesting specimens of seaweed. When the motorboat returned His Majesty had almost a bucketful...
