Courage - And Prayer - Save A Coast Guardsman. Coast Guardsman George A. Sarisky has been re-christened by shipmates aboard a Coast Guard-manned supply ship on which he serves. His new name is "Lucky". During a tropical storm in the southwest Pacific, Sarisky, who hails from Atlas, Penna., fell overboard in the dead of night.

A tiny dot in the raving seas, the corvette's searchlight finally spotted him. A line heaved from the deck linked him to life and security like a thread of kindly Fate. Later, safe aboard his own ship again, Sarisk accepted his new name of "Lucky" - and remembered to murmur his thanks to the Source of All Life.
