Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Stuart, who wrote the excellent and successful Sine Till Six," seem to have been in considerable doubt as to the best title tor their new play.

The audience was summoned to-night to see "The Unquiet it opened the Arts Theatre programme to find that the play had been reeliristened Indian Summer." Since the piece bejran nearer nine than the stipulated 8 30. and seemea likely in the last scene to continue till midnight at least, perhaps the happiest tiUe all wouid have been the obvious "Nine Till Twelve." The play could easily be cut to make a very entertaining one. It concerns an Indian army officer whose vitriolic wile has driven him to sucli a state that lie consumes a whole bottle of whiky in the opening scene.

The people in the village were marvellous." BOY'S TRIBUTE TO MASTER One of the hoys, who did not then know of the death of his comrades and who thought it all been a great adventure, said From our Chess Margate, Saturday. The fourth round of the premier event in the Margate Chess Congress was marked by what will probably prove to be the decisive game, that between Flohr and Capablanca. Flohr, being already a point ahead in the score, was naturally satisfied with a draw, and, having; the white pieces, had no difficulty in exchanging into an equal rook, bishop, and pawn endgame. This result makes Flohr virtually certain of first prize, his only dangerous rival being Stahlberg, who is at present a point behind with an adjourned game against Thomas to finish. In this he is a pawn down, and although he lias the better position it is extremely unlikely that he can do more than draw.

Fie London County Council schoolboys, members of a party of twenty-seven, who were making a holiday excursion in charge of a master, have lost their lives in a disaster hicb overtook the party during a mountain trip in the Black Forest. The boys, their ages ranging from 12 to 1 were caught in a violent snowstorm on the Schauius-land, one of the bleakest and highest mountains in thfi district. For hours they wandered helplessly in snow and fog" and bitter cold, and when help at length arrived four of the boys were dead and a fifth died in hospital from the effects of exposure.

The victims, all from the Strand Secondary School, Brixton Hill, London, are Francis Bourdillon 12. of 19, Lanercost Road, London, S.W. 2. Alexander Jack Eaton (16), of 18, Cap-thurue Avenue, London. 2.

All the oth'er boys are safe and well. THE FATEFUL TRIP The party left Freiburg yesterday morning to walk to the Schauinsland which is about ten miles to the south-east of Freiburg. They intended to reach the youth hostel at Todtnauberg. On the way a thick fog descended on them and later a snowstorm came, which caused tliem to lose their way. They wandered about the whole day.

seeking their way in vain over the bleak snow-covered country. Mr. Keast did everything in his power to aver! the tragedy which descended on the children. He went round trying to keep the boys together and encouraging tlicru with comlorting words. una boy after another, when he had found them, was so tired that lie could walk no farther.

Mr. Keast left each one of these with another bov until such time as both could be rescued. t- It was only in the late evening, wtien all were suffering from cold, exhaustion, and hunger, that their cries for help were heard by the villagers of the' small hamlet of Hofsgrund. The inhabitants then went out at once on sledges to bring help and assistance to the boys. Even they had difficulty reaching them owing to the high snowdrifts which had accumulated.

The first reports reached the police here at ten o'clock last night. The I-'reiburg Ied Cross detachment and- the police immediately set out for the district. By the time they readied the scene the villagers had already found ten of the boys who had got separated from the main party in pairs as their teacher had lett them. When they reached them, however, four of the boys had died trom the effects of their expo-ure and exhaustion and two were taken to hospital seriously ill, where one died in the early hours of this morning. MASTER'S ACCOUNT The other twenty-one boys were brought here this evening and taken to the University They were examined an, I found to be unharmed.

All were then allowed to go to a youth hostel in the town, where special fires were made in the dormitory and additional blankets supplied to them -Mr Kea5t, in a talk with Heuter at the hospital to-night, save a vivid description of their, ordeal on the mountain and warnilv praised the pluck of the elder boys who stood by their young companions after they had fallen in the blizzard. I think all of us who survived are lucky to be alive," he said Nobody in England can have any idea what that snowstorm was like. We cot up on the cret of the hut could see nothing, neither ways nor signposts, where the mountain began or where it ended. It was impossible to see either one way or the other. We had to go for a time by compass, until we found a way wnere the signposts were clear.

Then we made again for the crown of tiie lull and then over into the sheltered side of it, in what seemed to be the direction of the nearest village. We reached it, but unfortunately too late. If you can imagine stepping into snow up to your waist and trying to bring along already exhausted boys you will see tile difficulty inere is no com parison to any snowstorms that vou ever get tngiand. trie Doya were all magnificent. They all tried to carry on, especially the bigger ones who helped tne otners.

tive ot tnem in particular, when we were on the last ledge, helped to carry those who were exhausted Mr. Keast, said the weather was utterly unexpected. We started from Freiburg at 9 a.m.," he continued. "There was no snow on the streets when we left. At 9 45 we were in Guentersberg, and ordinarily in another two hours should have been at our destination, where I knew there would be an hotel.

To be on the safe Eide, I reckoned with three hours, taking into account that the younger boys would not be able to walk so fast. When we got up the first two or three slopes we encountered a heavy snowstorm. It most have been aronnd 12 30 that we saw a signboard, and after wiping off the snow saw that we had another three kilometres to go to the summit. This should not have taken us a long time. People we met confirmed that the summit was Jfot very Actually it took us' two and a half hours owing to the weather.

I thought it would be wiser to go on instead of turning back- I thought there would be a hut. ENVELOPED IN FOG "When we got to the. crown of the hill fog enveloped ns, and we could not see anything, not even the hut or hotel which was to have been is the neighbourhood. I could cot Btay there with my party of boys in that fog with night coming ou It' was getting" on towards five in the. afternoon, and hid to get them out of the cold -and the wind.

It becomes in four years a successful little hotel much patronised by rich quasi-nudists.

Primed with this, and seconded by his letnon-squash lady, the husland sends his wife about her gossiping business. She may-go to England, or she ir.ay go to India and tell all the Anglo-Indians to call and gaze upon his ruin. We take it that the vitriolic lady chooses the second course, and not a third which is also indicated.

As it stands the piece lias too much thrashing out of motives ethical and conventional. But there is so much wit most of it siveu to an apricot-coloured nymph in a turquoise bathinc-dress that we forgive much of the redundancy. The character: are admirably drawn. Miss Muriel Alexander fulfils" a long and exceedingly arduous task as the virago. Miss Fabia Drake shows great sincerity and avoids over sweetness as the reformer, and Mr.

Martin Walker is oven better drunk than sober. Mr. Austin Trevor assumes the role of a manly and not very articulate tower of Anglo-Indian strength. Whenever there is a difficult part in a play one mentis for Mr. Trevor, and all turns out well.

Keast carried several of the smaller hoys again and again over and through the snow. Sometimes the snow came up to our ehe-ts. We could nut see more than two or three yards ahead of us, and all the time the fearful hurricane was howling over our heads. It seemed to co on tor hours. We had taken sandwiches along for our lunch, and we were glad we had them, I can tell you.

At one time we never thought we" were loiiic to reach safety. When some of the smaller boys became weak and collapsed Mr Keast and one or two of the biccer boys stood by and guarded them while we worked our way step by step throuch the deep snow towards the direction of the viflaue. It was now pitch dark, and we had no other guide hut the dim light of a farmhouse which we saw in front of n. At last we reached the house, the villacers heard our crie. and came out at once.

Direct lv we told them what had happened they started off with sledces and went back to the place where Mr. KrnM and the other boys were waiting in the snow beside the boys who had collapsed. The villagers did splendid work. We certainly owe our lives to these kind people. The boys' journey from Hofsgrund to Freiburg this afternoon took four hniir.
