...putting out into Great South Bay to catch weakfish, with his son Robert. Actor Victor Moore (Of Thee I Sing's Vice President Alexander Throttlebottom) lost control of his outboard motorboat, Embobora II, when its tiller inexplicably came loose in his hand. Down upon him bore a dory. There was a smash-bang amidships and the next thing Alexander Throttlebottom knew he was thrashing about beneath his own overturned craft. He tried to duck out on one side only to crack his head on wreckage, see stars. Down he went again, coming up on the other side. Breathless...
...priest came forward, prayed over the men, sprinkled holy water toward the seaplanes, and invoked the blessing of the Virgin of Loreto.* "O God, . . . who hast destined all the elements of this world for the use of the human race, bless us, we beseech Thee, this aircraft . . . that those who flying in it put themselves under the care of the Blessed Virgin, may speedily arrive at their destination and may return home unharmed. . . ."

Undaunted by occasional mistakes, undeterred by the combined sarcastic clangor from six other steeples, he crashes out his pathetic revival-meeting cacophonies without benefit of half-notes, but with a boundless enthusiasm comparable only to that of a small boy with a horn on Christmas morning. I don't know which egliso employs this generous artist, but if there...
