Worden Reaches Gcal

Inside Cape Henry, at Hampton
roads, we're ten battleships Of Admiral
Evans feet. This was the goal of the
destroyers. 1t was near nightfall when
long streak Of olive green came in
by Cape Henry. slashing through to-
ward the feet of big fighters. Her
sharp PROV cut the waters with the
hiss Of a razor cleaving a sheet Of
paper as she swished along like an ex-
press train, still going so fast that the
rush Of wind she created whirled the
tiattened 1t out on the waters astern.
1t was the Worden, the winner, going

midnight.
In the morning hours OF the second
day In came the flagship Whipple, with
the story of disaster to the Hopkins.
the undefeated. The unbeaten had
nearly foundered in an effort to keep
up.
During the night the Truxtun had
fought her way down the coast with
all the speed that was In her and had
passed the Hopkins. the Whipple and
the Stewart. The Hopkins had fought
80 gamely that the oficers had be-
come accustomed to the CULVER OF her
frame. But even steel gives way
sometimes. This time 1t was not in
the engine, but In . totally unexpected
quarter on the outside of the craft.
