They meet some of their friends aboard and are encoarafrd. CHAPTER XI . At lunch time they were at last told where they were going. Nothing was said about the main convoy. From the beginning it had been planned to send them to the Island of Talizo, one of Ihe steppingstones in the retrieving of certain precious stones stolen by the Japanese when no one was looking. The south end of the fifty-mile-long island had been captured by American Ameri-can forces, along with an airfield conveniently just completed by the Japs, who still held the northern half of Talizo. They would land some time the next morning. Mr. Winkle searched in his guidebook guide-book for the entry under Talizo. To It was hot on land after the sea as they marched throngb town. his satisfaction he found that the island is-land had cannibals. It was, in fact, noted for them. 1 Late that afternoon a collection of dark dots came out of the sinleing sun ahead of them. The gun crews of their own and the other ships sprang to their stations, alert and tense. But soon word was passed about that these were their own ; planes, come to protect them in that 1 most dangerous of all times, dusk on the sea. No enemy, from under, on, or over the sea appeared either that night or at dawn when the planes returned to take up their vigil and escort the . convoy to port. Land, now made out boldly, was seen to be a low-lying shore reaching reach-ing up abruptly to a towering volcanic volcan-ic mountain ridge running along the far side of Talizo. It was a scene of such beauty as to be very nearly unreal. As they approached closer, here and there the white wisp of a I waterfall could be seen throwing itself it-self down from the mountain jun- gles and disappearing into the thick ' green growth below. i That war and the killing and maiming of men could exist on this peaceful looking island did not seem credible. Looking at it, all you wanted to do was to land here, among the palm trees on the white sandy shore and spend the rest of your life. Mr. Winkle and his several thousand thou-sand companions gazed at it with awe and wonderment. The island was almost the thing for which Mr. Winkle searched, and he wondered If he would find it here. Mr. Winkle's impression of landing land-ing was not one of danger, but of fascination. Their troopship was the first vessel ves-sel through the mine field and the opening made by a small tug drawing draw-ing back the boom of the submarine net. Almost ' efore the anchor was down in the harbor, landing nets were being thrown over the sides of the ship and boats lowered. They climbed down, packing themselves them-selves in the lifeboat. Three of these, tied together, were pulled by a launch to one of the pier. The men stared at a half-sunken supply ship they passed. ' Some of them identified shore batteries placed on either point -of -the hayborj"','''- It was hot on land after the sea as they marched through town. -pissing by the -thatched huts, they-ssw they-ssw that most of them were vacant Only here and there were they occupied occu-pied by brown-skinned people whose large dark eyes gazed at them apathetically. apa-thetically. "A few of them were girls clad in a simple garment of printed cloth which left one shoulder bare and outlined the rest of their slim bodies to their knees. "Whadda you know?" breathed , lllfll..JJ. MM.. I Mr. 1 Utter, waauua vu wivwt W.N.U. "Now, now." eautjond Mr. Winkle. Win-kle. "We're here to protect them, that's all;" "Sure," said Mr. Tinker. "Sure." He twisted his bead, to keep in sigkt as long as he could what he looked forward to protecting. On the far side of the village the Jungle began, a monstrous growth of palms, lianas, bushes, vivid flowers, breadfruit trees, and banana plants. Into this they marched along a narrow nar-row white shell road that threw up heat in nearly suffocating waves. They began to sweat They came to a .tent so cleverly camouflaged that they failed to make it all out at once. It was painted the exact color of the vecetation. Limbs of trees grew over Us roof. Nets, to which branches were attached at-tached and sprayed a permanent green, covered it in other places. The jungle was honeycombed with such tents, some of them small, some of them large enough to house a small circus. Again Mr. Winkle felt safe. He told himself nothing could happen to him in such a hidden installation. in-stallation. He had half-expected to make a landing amidst a hail of bullets and exploding bombs. At their first meal In the mess tent they tasted new foods, potatolike potato-like taro, papaya, and wild chicken. Mr Tinker spat most of them out fnd took to what he called civilized dishes also provided. Mr. Winkle swallowed them, it not with relish, at least with pleasure in their proving how definitely he was on a tropic island. The newcomers were asked such, a barrage of questions that they had little chance to put any of their own. The few they managed to get in were mostly answered with a lifting of the shoulders. One man jerked his thumb toward the north and said, "We're just sitting each other out." The Messrs. Winkle and Tinker reported to one of the shops, where Mr. Tinker was open-mouthed at the equipment and Mr. Winkle was impressed. im-pressed. Trucks, reconnaissance and command com-mand cars, and jeeps and peeps were driven into spacious tents which held as complete equipment as to be found at home. The canvas sides were rolled up for ventilation, giving them a pleasant air of being outdoors. The familiar smell of oiled mautiinery and carbon monoxide fumes reached their nostrils. These perfumes were more heartening than the sweet, curious odors of the jungle with which they competed. Men like themselves, trained as they had been, following the same procedures, labored over the vehicles, vehi-cles, one of which had its entire rear end missing as if it had been torn off with a violent hand. The men looked up, gazing idly, curiously, curious-ly, or with interest at the newcomers. newcom-ers. Only once did they pause in their quick, deft attentions to the motors. A radio, abruptly turned on, buzzed and crackled for a moment, mo-ment, and then from ft came the clear, assured announcement: "This is the United States of America." The men went still for an Instant taking it in. They glanced at each other and some of them smiled briefly, brief-ly, almost shyly. As the short-wave program went on, giving the news from home, they returned to work with an added zest Mr. Winkle couldn't suppress a tingle that "went through him and a choking in his throat It quieted the queasy feeling in bis stomach. It made him know that the jungle of Tnllio, at least this part of it and more to come, was the V. S. A. When a mall went out Mr. Winkle was allowed to write only the barest Information to Amy. He refrained from saying much tor the double reason of living up to the censorship regulations and not caring to night-en night-en her. He omitted certain thing be discovered In his paradise, auch as malaria, dysentery, white ants with a pincers attack worse than any war maneuver ever conceived, and mosquitoes so profuse that a net over the bed served only to trap them inside where they could concentrate concen-trate their attack. . It must be thought, be enough of a itrain for Amy not even to know where he was beyond the fact that be was In the South Sea area. He kept to the cheery things, such a the taste of roasted wild pig, and the crawfish, shrimp, and prawns. He described the flowers, and dwelt on the hibiscus, which he thought went better with the tropics than anything else. He told her about the parrots and cockatoos of the jungle, jun-gle, and how the air was filled with the color of flashing wings. . He said there were no cannibal about Just then, but he hoped eventually even-tually to see one. He described wsr as being nothing at all like what he had expected, and assured ber that he would be back some day, "No Jap bullet has my name on it" he wrote. He pondered on whether or not he should leave ..thi. m- .. Itwa. ,bgsfc. ing a little, for he had yet to hear a shot fired on either side. In the end he let the statement i. deciding, it wai reassuring (more than anything else. And he didn want to give her the Impression that be really wasn't In the war. Mr. Tinker was in It to little that be didn't think much of Talizo a a battleground. When a truck waa brought In with a few bullet hole through its body, it was a matter of some curiosity. And the bullets had been fired o far away that the ac RELEASE tual fighting seemed remote and unreal. un-real. They saw nothing of the enemy and heard nothing of him. There were so few evidences of his existence exist-ence that they were hardly worth while. Even the two cots in their tent hadn't been vacated by dead men. but by men who had contracted contract-ed tropic fever and been sent home. The native girls ran when Mr. Tinker Tink-er made approaches; they didn't trust any human being in a soldier's sol-dier's uniform. All in all, Mr. Tinker was very much disgusted. He said he might as well be home working t his plumbing, and he told Mr. Winnie he might as well be home in his shop. Mr. Winkle, on Uie other hand, could not conceal from himself the fact that he was pleased. He breathed easier, thinking that if this was all there was to it, it wasn't so bad. To the north, he knew, lay the airfield and the main part of the American forces of occupation. And farther on there was jungle fighting where men stalked each other through the undergrowth and sniped from the trees. But this was not his business, and he came into contact con-tact with none of those whose affair it was. Mr. Tinker hoped to be sent north on some mission. "It's the only way I can see for me to get me my Jap," he said. Mr. Winkle didn't understand how he could expect this. "You'd be on other duty." he pointed out "Not all the time I won't," Mr. Tinker said. "You wouldn't tell anybody," any-body," he pleaded, "if I went off for a while, would you, Pop?" "You won't do any such thing," Mr. Winkle scolded. Mr. Tinker remained silent, looking look-ing glum but determined. Mr. Tinker had only contempt for the south tip of the island, to which he and Mr. Winkle were sent several sev-eral times to rescue vehicles in difficulties. dif-ficulties. He could hope to find no Japs there. The shore was lined with American machine-gun fox holes, and it was here that the Alphabet Al-phabet to his chagrin, was stationed. sta-tioned. Sergeant Czeideskrowski and his crew, including Freddie and Jack, agreed with Mr. Tinker about their part in the war. Nothing, they felt would happen In the portion given to them They had come thousands of miles to sit and watch and wait for action that would never materialize. They with Mr. Winkle overlooked over-looked the fact that when you are In a war you are In a war. Awakened early one morning, Mr. Winkle and Mr. Tinker were told to report to the orderly tent on the double-quick. Their Commanding Officer looked grim when he told them: "Hop in a Jeep and get down Post Number Nine.

Anything Any-thing can come out of It" Mr. Winkle's heart leaped as he saluted with Mr. Tinker and hurried hur-ried out "Something," said Mr. Tinker. "I up." Mr. Winkle was very much afraid that this might be so. "Nine." he said. "That's the Alphabet" At the motor park tent they found the men on duty there had the same tense attitude. "You'd better take some extra cartridge clips," they were told. These were given to them. 1 They drove out.
