Strains of I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire (I Just Want to Start a Flame in Your Heart) were wafting from the windup phonograph. Suddenly, there was a great deal of noise and confusion and Mr. Naccarato found himself in the middle of the infamous sneak attack that helped set the Far East section of the world on fire for four long years. That we were missed by and other fire was undoubtedly due to the skillful handling Mr. Naccarato of our ship, said Friday, recalling the terrors of Pearl Harbor.
