"We came close to losing the 33 boat about that time, said Bulkeley. "DcLong and I were riding her the night of February 8, patrolling up the west coast of Bataan as usual. A little before nine o'clock we aw gun blasts on up ahead of us In the neighborhood of Bagac Bay, so we put on what speed we could to find out who was at shooting what. Incidentally, the speed wasn't much. Because the 32 boat had had an explosion while they were cleaning that saboteur's wax out of her strainers and tanks, so that now she was held together with braces and wires, and running on only two engines. But pretty soon we sighted a ship about three miles away. I was maneuvering to put her in the path of the moonlight on the water so I could make out what she was. But now she seemed to put on speed, heading up In the direction of Subic "Bulkeley had hlg 43 In hig hand uhen he jumped aboard, and immediately this Jap officer went to his knees and began to call.

Our plan for making a run for China when our gas was almost gone still stood, and Bulkeley had got hold of some landing-forcgear which we knew might be useful on the Chinese coast if we missed connections with our Chungking friends and bad to fight our way through the Japs. So we began drilling our men In landing-forcprocedure. "This got them very curious. They knew our gas was running out, and we bad almost no more torpedoes except the ones which were m the boats. So we told them we were thinking of going south to join the Moros if Bataan fell, and It satisfied them for a while. We let only two other persons In on the secret Clark Lee and Nat Floyd, newspaper correspondents who had been authorized by the Admiral to make the trip with us. "The food situation was getting tough. Our breakfast was always hot cakes made without eggs just flour, water, and baking powder-e- nd the syrup was sugar and water. We hadn't seen butter since the war started. Then for dinner, it was always canned salmon and rice, and you don t know tired you can ge of canned salmon until you eat it regularly for e few months.

That afternoon I went over to see Peggy, and they were all busy slicing steaks and candling eggs. By yelling, screaming, and haggling, I got enough fresh meat to serve our crews two meals that week. She was a welcome little ship, that blockade-runne- r made two more trips before the Japs sank her. "But because of Peggy, my diet was a little better than the others. Since she was on Corregidor, she was entitled, under their rationing system, to buy one item per day from the canteen a package of gum, a candy bar maybe, from the little supply they had left "But Peggy pretended she never cared for them, and every time I came to see her, shed slip me a pocketful. She bought and saved them every day just something to nibble while I was out on patrol, she explained. "I began to feel funny about that to China we were planning. Of course the Admiral had ordered it, and of course it was the way we could be most useful. But here were all these brave people on Bataan and the Rock, Peggy among them, realizing more clearly every day that they would never get out. Doomed, but bracing themselves to look fate in the face as it drew nearer, knowing that they were expendable like ammunition, and that it was part of the war plan that they should sell themselves as dearly as possible before they were killed or captured by the Japs. But a handful of us secretly knew that we, and only we among these many brave thousands, would see home again, and soon. "And the more I liked Peggy she was a swell kid the guiltier I felt. Furthermore, I knew if we ever left, it would have to be soon. Gas was barely getting dangerously low enough to make the run for China. And so was our torpedo supply. We would have to leave with every tube full if we were to throw effective weight against Jap shipping on the China coast, and in addition to what we would need for this, we had only a few torpedoes left, enough for one good fight and that was to come sooner than we knew. night-rendez- vous e break-throug- h (TO BE CO, MIMED) TRAILERS CARS USED ISED CARS TRAILER COACHES Liberal Credit Term JFSHE M.
