When Kelly arrived at the rendezvous the others were milling. had dumped most of Its gas at dawn, and couldn't proceed much farther at high speed. "This was a rendezvous not only for our four MTB's, but also for General MacArthur'a second means of escape a submarine. It had all been carefully worked out, and the submarine would bob up in this cove tomorrow. Had we been at-tacked or broken down, the General could have left us here, and con-tinued his trip on down to Australia by submarine. "General MacArthur, Admiral Rockwell and Lieutenant Bulkeley talked about the night's plans the advisability of continuing with us tonight or going by , submarine," went on Lieutenant Kelly. "The Ad-miral was for staying with us, but the General was undecided. The afternoon trip had been rough, and Bulkeley had warned the night would be rougher. Yet as we lay there in the cove, the sea seemed calm enough, and the sky gave no hint of bad weather. So on the as-surance of the Admiral that it would be good weather, the General de-cided they'd continue with us. "Then, as Bulkeley bad said, there was the problem of what to do with the 32 boat, which had dumped much of her gasoline. She did not have enough left to make the fast run with us to the Island of Mindanao, where the General's par-ty would get the plane for Australia. So Bulkeley gave her different or-ders. Her generals were to be trans-ferred to my boat. She was to wait here in the rendezvous until tomor-row when the submarine arrived. She was to tell the submarine that everything had gone well, the Gen- - expecting something, they could onlj make twenty-seve- So we had a good chance of keeping away from them it might be dark before they could close in. "Meanwhile I was hoping they hadn't seen us and praying that the sun would hurry up and set, but it just pooped along seemed to hang there above the horizon for weeks, and finally bobbed under at seven o'clock. "If you've never been In the trop-ics, you don't realize how fast it gets dark almost no twilight at alL" "I think it was the whitecaps that saved us," said Bulkeley. "The Japs didn't notice our wake, even though we were foaming away at full throttle. "During the excitement, the Gen-eral was lying down in the cabin with his eyes closed, but Mrs. Mac-Arthu- r, who was with him, beard everything that went on and she didn't turn a hair. She took it like a lady went right on nibbing the General's hands to keep up his cir-culation, though she was seasick herself. "I never went below, and all my men stayed at battle stations, so the people in the cabin took care of themselves there was no one to wait on them. The General saw that I was supplied with cigars. They were pretty well provisioned. They'd brought from Corregidor, among other things, a few cases of Coca-Col- a the first I'd tasted in many weeks and some of the tenderest ham I ever ate. "It got dark fast after sunset, a wind sprang up, and ahead we could see lightning flashes. But these CHAPTER X "I had an idea where they would be, and I explained. Bulkeley, I was sure, would take no chances with women and a child aboard. Of course he'd seen the Japanese sig-nal fire the night before. Planes might be out spotting us for de-stroyers, and as soon as dawn broke Bulkeley undoubtedly had made for the nearest of those other Cuyos picking one from his chart (we'd never been here before) which was surrounded by reefs and water so hallow that no destroyer could ven-ture within gun range or even within sight. There he would wait all day, if not until dusk, at least until he thought the danger of spot-ting planes was past, before com-ing to join us here. "So at 8:37 we dropped a hook In the cove and I sent two men ashore with semaphore flags to climb the Island's single hill and stand continuous watch for the other three boats of course, but particularly for Japs. - "'"" TV?' l "j U h',,' MS I "At 5:30, when we figured any potting planes would have had to head back for home, I was about to pull our lookouts from the hill and get under way when they wig-wagged down that they saw a ship apparently friendly, maybe an MTB. I picked It up with my bi-noculars and presently made out the 82 boat, which soon tied up along-side us. "It was this boat, remember, which had been repaired after its explosion. The cook had been blown into Sisiman Cove. During the night its struts started coming loose, so they could use only one or two of their three engines, and they, like us, had lost touch with the other boats in the night But instead of falling far behind the flagship, they had somehow managed, in the dark-ness, to get out in front of it "In the first gray light of dawn, their stern lookout reported a strange ship gaining on them. Looked like a Jap destroyer. Now an MTB in good condition can outrun any warship afloat But the 32 boat was hobbling on two engines, so al-though he was running full throttle, its commander wasn't surprised that the strange craft kept gaining. In or-der to lighten his boat and pull away, he dumped six hundred gal-lons of gasoline in drums over the side, but still the enemy was clos-ing on him. There seemed nothing to do now but fight before the de-stroyer opened with its guns. They readied two torpedoes and turned dauntlessly for the attack, to discover just in time that the strange pursuing craft was the 41 boat their own flagship with Gen-eral MacArthur aboard. "So here they were loaded down to the water line with seasick and puzzled generals. Just at this point there was a rising roar from sea-ward, and the 41 boat came around the point Bulkeley and General MacArthur'a party." "We'd lost sight of you a few I U J t I T" . . 11. 1 didn't help us find the narrow pas-sage Into the Mindanao Sea. We were going in the dark entirely by dead reckoning. At midnight we figured we'd be off the strait so we turned into the pitch-blacknes- s, hold-ing our breath, but still we didn't hit anything. I had no charts, I'd never been there before, I could see absolutely nothing, but since we didn't crash into a beach, we kept on going, and at last I knew we were through and safely Into Min-danao Sea our g navigation had been right." "And there we really caught hell," said Kelly. "Big foaming waves fifteen or twenty feet high thundering over the cockpit, drench-ing everybody topside. Also, be-cause of the speed, water and wind, it got damned cold. Our binocu-lars were full of water and our eyes so continuously drenched with sting-ing salt that we couldn't see, in strange waters with Islands all around us. We could see the out-lines of the big ones Negros and Mindanao very dimly against the horizon through the storm. But there were dozens of small ones and prob-ably hundreds of reefs. "The sea was on our port bow, tending to drive us south. We ex-pected to make a landfall forty miles dead ahead a small island where we would turn and let me tell you this was an unpleasant situ-ation for a navigator. The helms-man's eyes and ours were full of salt, you had to keep one hand in front of your eyes to avoid the slap-ping force of the water, and yet you needed both to hold on. The Ad-miral was pretty wrought up. 'I've sailed every type of ship in the navy except one of these MTB's,' he shouted at me above the wind, 'and this is the worst bridge I've ever been on. I wouldn't do duty on one of these for anything in the world you can have them.' "It was a real problem to keep astern lookout for the 41 boat so ur umnlHn't lrtca it TVi r.a errA "They wigwagged down that they aw a ship apparently friendly." eral had gone on to Mindanao and would go to Australia by plane, as planned. Having delivered this mes-sage, the 32 boat was to go to Hollo on the island of Panay, only one hundred and twenty miles away. There she could get repairs and enough gas to bring her on down to Cagayan to join the rest of us In the other three boats, and we would uuurs ueiuie uawn, bmiu uuicicy, "when you stopped to clean your strainers. I went on ahead because I wanted to get as deep as possible into the Cuyo Islands before sun-rise. "As. the sky pinkened I headed for the nearest and best it was one of the prearranged crosses on the map. It wasn't much of an island-o- nly a quarter of a mile wide but it had plenty of shallow water to keep oft Jap destroyers. "Lying at anchor, some of the crew picked off a little sleep as we rolled gently in the sunshine. Pres-ently the General came on deck; he was a fine figure in his camel's-hai- r coat and gold hat frowning a little as he squinted in the sunshine at the water and white sand. Then Mrs. MacArthur and the Little boy and his Chinese amah came up to it in wicker chairs in the sun-shine. It was too bad little Arthur couldn't have played on the beach, but I told the General no one should go ashore.. Because if dive bomb-ers came over and spotted us, we would have to get the hell out of that cove quick, leaving even the lookout behind, and out into open water where we could dodge and twist "I figured the morning would he the dangerous time for bombers, if they knew we had slipped out so by two o'clock I felt it was iaf to get under way, and we threaded down through tie little shoaly chan-nels between the islands, which would defy a destroyer or cruiser to follow, approaching the last one, which was our general rendezvous. In the distance I could see the other two boats also heading tor it, and when we arrived, Kelly in the 34 oat was already there and waiting. "Then there was the problem of what to do about the 32 boat, which nmsn the war togetner in tne soutn-er- n islands. "What went wrong with this plan, we don't know to this day. The boat's commander, Lieutenant Schu-macher, must have decided that it wasn't in condition to follow these orders. Anyway, when the subma-rine arrived, he had it shell the 32 boat so it would not fall into Japanese hands, and boarded the submarine, which dropped his crew off at Corregidor, and took him safe-ly to Australia. "We found out much later that he had gotten to Australia. For some time their disappearance was a mystery, and Bulkeley here spent several days flying out over all those islands trying to find some trace of the 32 boat Some day, of course, there will be a full report on exactly what did happen which will explain everything. "All we know is that we last saw them back there in the cove as we left the harbor a hard right turn and then out to sea, at about 6:30. We were leading, so that the flagship, just behind us, could search out the smoothest part of our wake, so that MacArthur's par-ty could ride comfortably. We'd been going about fifteen minutes when the port lookout called ,Sail-ho- P and there she was three points on our port bow, distance about five miles. 'Looks like an enemy cruiserl' said the lookout. I grabbed my binoculars, and so it was! Hull down, but masts and superstructure plain. On the course we were steering we would cross her bow. I gave the 34 full right rudder and full speed ahead it was much fast-er than eighteen knots, because the carbon had burned out of our mo-tors. I knew that type of Jap cruis-er eould make thirty-fiv- e knots with H steam up. But unless they were waves in a row and we'd be out of sight and in that weather we could pass within seventy-fiv-e yards and never see each other. The 41 was now keeping about two hundred yards astern, hunting for the smooth-est part of our wake, to keep the General's party comfortable. The General had said that if his boat slowed, we who were ahead should also slow, letting them set the pace. I know seasickness can be very un-pleasant but I wanted to get them safe in port by dawn, in case there were Jap planes about, so I kept pulling them on. It got rougher and rougher, and the Admiral kept remembering it had been he who had assured MacArthur that Bulke-ley was wrong about the weather- -it would be calm. " The General's going to give me hell for this in the morning, he said, uneasily. 'Damned if I thought Bulkeley knew what he was talking about but he surely did.' The Admiral stayed with me up on the bridge the whole trip, in spite of the weather. Every half-ho- I would send a member of the crew over the boat for inspection, to see how its hull was standing the strain, for we were taking an awful licking. "During one of these I noticed a figure by the machine-gu- n turret sitting with his feet propped up on a torpedo tube. His stomach was long ago empty, but he was leaning for-ward, retching between his knees. From this I guessed it might be one of our passengers, and sent a quartermaster to ask him if he wouldn't care to go below. The quartermaster returned and salut-ed: The General says he doesn't want to move, sir he knows what's best for him.'

S. dark twist tobacco gets a No. 1 priority for monthly ship-ment to the Australian army. However, the "Aussies" do not chew this tobacco. It is given the Australian pilots to use as "mad money" in the event they are shot down from a plane over New Guinea, the Solomons, and New Britain. Natives of these islands use this tobacco, in seven-inc- h lengths, as money. If a pilot is forced down in these areas, he can always use tobacco in hiring a guide to lead him through the jungle, back to his base. Increase Sea Harvest By adding fertiliers to sea wa-ter, thus increasing the growth of the plants on which fish feed, marine research workers have increased the weight of fish ten times. Important fish tests are being carried out in a small lake in the west of Scotland under Sir John Graham Kerr, noted marine biolo-gist. Scientists are working on the theory that sea fish can be multi-plied by increasing their sea-pla- nt food by adding nitrogen and phos-phates. mileAuhilf; Not This Fellow Mother (anxiously) What made you stay so late?
