"THE RINGED HORIZON’,’ by
Edmund Gilligan (Scribners; ,
$2.50).
Edffhund Gilligan is one of
♦his reviewer's favorite literary
puzzles, and his new novel is
perhaps the best expression of
Mr. Gilligan’s remarkable para
dox so far.
As most people know. Mr. Gil
ligan writes romances of the sea
AJ1 his men are tough, salty
Chaps most at home when the
fishing is toughest on the Banks,
when the salt spray cuts their
leathery hides like a success of
ShaTp knives, and the cod almost

freeze as they are yanked off
the barbe-d hooks. His women
are almost without exception
Junos of the see, and Judth in j
‘The Ringed Horizon” is even
a little more.than that—r&he, ’s
introduced running naked along
a beach, and she steers a diffi
cult course from that page until
the very last.
But—and the “but’’ is impor
tant—Mr. Gilligan rites the most
purple prose of any practitioner
1 know, these days. His para
graphs have a rococo construc
tion that sometimes baffles the
reader, and he is apparently un
willing to leave any -©he adjective
alone, but must modify it and
, then modify the modifier until
| sometimes the result is bewilder
| ing. Also, his people had mostly
I from Gloucester, but they speak
i Old Testament dialogue which
may for all I know, be a literal
transcription of their speech,
but which sometimes strains one’s
credulity a bit.
And finally, Mr. Gilligan is
a great one..to stick to a last. He
has an Indian in "The Ringed
1 Hor toon'* named It a Erlyftvine
■ who never wears a shrt, who
i spends nearly all his time high
j in the rigging, whose every
! speech is a prophecy. 1 for one.
j had a vast yen to pull Ira out
of the rigging and ask him for a
ciarette or something equally
prosaic.
But ‘‘The Ringed Horizon’’
makes its effect. It is essentialiy
a chase story—bold Sebasti<V
Bannon on the trail of a Hitler
ian U-boat—and no matter how
impatient I got with the autHbr
and his inability to let the sun
rise or the waves roll in simple
prose, I simply could not stop
reading “The Ringed Horizon.’’
It is a whale of a story, com
pletely surrounded by pretty lit
tle herring wods.

GI SERIAL NUMBERS
TELL A STORY
It’s a wise soldier' wjio knows
his own seria'J number and * the
story behind some of its digits.
Though at first glance it seems
to be merely an almost mipossi
ble-to-remember series of figures,
thrown together meaningless, its
progression has a history that can
be traced back to the latter days
c;f the last Great War.
At that time, constant confu
sion over similar names present
ed a problem which was solved
when the ASN was originated,
and each and every man was giv
en a nunoiber to be used as his
own means of identification. The
serial number soon went up to
seven digits when all men had
been tallied.
But the establishment of the
present selective service system
meant the influx of millions of
into the Army, and the present

day ASN is composed of eight
d gits. And from a soldier's eight
numbers many interesting things
can be learned.
For example, the first number
tells whether a man enlisted, wa*
a National Guardsman, or wheth
er he was inducted under selec
tive service. If the first number
is 1, he enlisted. If it’s 2, he was
formerly of the National Guard,
and if it’s 3, he was inducted.
The second digit is important,
top. That indicates the service
command from which the soldier
originated. For example, if the
; second number is 6, he came
from the sixth service command
! in the midwest. If it’s a 1, then
! he came from the first command
