Fate itself seems to have had a hand in bringing that little convoy of torpedo boats safely safe-ly through the mine-infested Japanese-held waters to their rendezvous' ren-dezvous' with the flyers from "down under." The imagination is stirred profoundly and one remembers remem-bers "old, forgotten far-off things and battles long ago." Even in the newspaper account of the journey there is something timeless. "The sun dipped into the China Sea out past Corregidor on March 11," writes the correspondent correspon-dent who was privileged to tell the world about this momentous jour ney, "when in the deepening shadows sha-dows the form of motor torpedo boats moved slowly through the minefields toward the entrance of Manila Bay, and that little convoy started the hazardous trip which some advisers had warned was a 'fantastic venture.' But the General Gen-eral said, 'We go with the dark of the moon. We go during the Ides of March.' " Here is material for poets and dramatists for a hundred years from now, as well as for those of today! Generations yet unborn will be as thrilled by this thing which happened just a few days ago as we today are thrilled by the story of another great general who crossed a frozen river one Christmas Christ-mas night. |
