l our guiding star. Four of our number have passed to
the great beyond. We must therefore wait a later and greater day to hear
their record read or told. Of the remaining sixteen, we have lost all
communication with two, and it would be mere speculation for us to say
what these two are doing. We can only hope, and do most fervently pray,
that wherever they are they have with them the deep and abiding spirit
of Tuskegee, and this we believe they have. This leaves then only

and to those who hope to go to sea at a later date. This, then, is our
message. First of all, it is necessary for you to know where the work of
the world is to be done.
