Well, air, the tugs left and were well away before the launch started. By now the sea was plenty high and Charliei boat had a tough time getting away from the target ship. The waves and wind kept blowing the light launch back to the Texas as fast as her engine pulled her away. I didn't worry much at that, Charlie Writes, until we heard a screeching sound that made our little crew go green. The screech was caused by a shell and was followed by an explosion that lifted onr craft right out of the water and sent a geyser that seemed miles high straight up In the air not fifty feet from us! 40-fo- fcv ft.

Wham! a geyser shot Into the air as high as Old Faithful and when It came down it landed right on the boatl The men were drenched and the boat nearly swamped. The engine stopped with a hiss as a ton of water poured down the smoke stack and drowned the fires. The engineer, Charlie says, Just averted the explosion of the boiler in time by opening the safety valve And then, as though their troubles had not been enough, they drifted helplessly back to the side of the Texasl It seemed funny to be in a small boat that might 6ink any minute, bobbing dangerously against a big battleship and still not able to climb aboard. They could have, of course, but all knew sudden dearth was a stowaway on that ship. The shells were bound to hit her soon. Charlie had a better chance slim as it was on his own boat Ha stripped to shorts and waited for the shot that would throw him In the water. Charlie writes: And all the time an inferno of shells fell all around us. It was the most helpless feeling In the world. The sort of feeling you get when an enemy air fleet Is dropping bombs on you or when an earthquake hits you. 1 er sfiih 'LOtff Hlft Yk Qoff PltierT 1ft KKfP An IN'f ttfcUH) Mr Hfc APtWV' MV ttUlTittJOtNOGS IAiSnI DAttS jktoSt KlCKA?0 1H.

The shooting finally stopped In the distance and except for the swishing of the waves against the boat and around the feet of the occupants all Was silent the silence of the gravel Well, sir, Charlie goes on to tell how, Just as they had about given up. hope of ever being found, a sharp prowed destroyer suddenly knifed the waves within a few feet of their launch. A yell went up from every voice on that launch. They were sighted, a rope thrown to them anu soon the destrojer landed them safe and sound on the old Rhode Island!
