First he harrowed down a crop of rye that had grown three feet tall, mixing rye and soil until hardly a trace of vegetation remained. Then he marked the land oil in rows, using an instrument he designed himself to pack the worked sod of the rows firmly Tins was done to patch the soil back together so natures on by the capillary action-car- ried plant root system could keep on elevating moisture to the surface for his tomatoes. He cleaned all the dirt from the roots of his tomato plants and laid them along the rows on the surface. He covered the roots with rich soil and packed it down by foot.

Wed started the war with six boats Two were lost off Bataan. One was lost on the escape trip south. That left only three, and two of these were wrecks, fit only for the dry dock, Bulkeleys being the only craft left In fighting condition.

It was to start at dawn the very next That very night, twelve morning fortresses and heavy bombers were coming up from Australia A swarm of were on their way up from Mindanao to Iloilo, where they were to gas up and go into action 'The bombers were to land at Mindanao, gas up, take off, and blow the out of every Jap warship In the region, and meanwhile the convoy of mterisland steamers would start for Bataan, bringing food enough for weeks. Bataan was to be saved after all The General showed me messages from all the other generals who commanded in different islands, co - ordinating the offensive. But there was one minor hitch, he explained.

Whatever she y wms good for now, it wasnt fighting, and I was glad we didn't meet any Japs. "The machine shop was run by Dad Cleland, a d American whod been in the islands since 1914, and a swell gent he was originally from Minnesota and a typical hulking frontiersman. Didnt look a day over fifty and was a kind of patriarch in those parts. His native name meant the old man or the headman in Taga-loseventy-one-year-ol- He was a great gourmet, too. Had Bulkeley and me out to dinner and we had bottled beer (a great rarity), a big crab-mecocktail, and then lobster Newburg, which was delicious, but Dad kept warning us to hold back, because then he broke out a couple of roast ducks. "Dessert was simple, like the last bars of a symphony. Just delicious chilled mangoes and Chase Sc Sanborns coffee. It was a magnificent feed after the native chow Id been eating We talked about the war. People In Cebu felt the show was about up, unless miraculous help arrived soon. " What are you going to do when the Japs come? we asked Dad. He straightened up all six feet two of him. " Have my d.gnity to think about, he said. 'I'm not going to the hills.

"After a few minutes' chase, we had closed In to three hundred yards so close that her searchlight seemed to be coming right down on us from an angle about like the sun In Then I drew out onto her starboard quarter and fired our last two torpedoes an overtaking shot.

But the rain of Jap tracers kept right on, and suddenly another Jap ship showed up fifteen hundred yards away. Both started firing their main batteries at me and we were trapped between splashes all around us now, as close as twenty-fiv- e yards.
