showing In green silhouette as the
lightning flashed. there were two other
great dreadnaughts and half a dozen
new ~destroyers; the Oklahoma and the
Nevada had come up.
Except for the dim CLOVIS rejecting

as a lightning flash seemed TO show
something moving over the waves. a
destroyer turned a searchlight through
the blackness about; and once, at an
alarm which brought all men aboard
the battleships running to torpedo de-
tense stations, q gun clattered from the
Alvin and Bob saw the streaks of the
shells as the tracer lights flared on
the backs of the projectiles travelling
toward the target simultaneously the
searchlights showed a destroyer steal

spat at 1t; the blackness was streaked
by the flares of the tracer" lights and
the destroyer tried to escape. But
while the searchlights still showed 1t
a shell struck a torpedo board, and be-

said to himself when the firing had
ceased, but as he repeated it he grew
more tense when the lightning again
gave him sight of the sea; and through
out the American ships every officer
and man remained at torpedo defense
stations. Had the enemy destroyer
sold itself well? Was It's appearance
a forerunner of a greater torpedo at
tack; or. before the vessel blew up,
had 1t wirelessed information which
should bring upon the American squad
ron a superior force of the enemy In
the morning?
The four dreadnaughts were steam
ing to surprise the regents ships which
were known to be detailed to cut off
the American ships coming from the
gulf. Would surprise now meet counter
surprise?
For a little longer, at least, God rode
in the hurricane. A war vessel-she
was a great ship with one mast gone
was ashore and pounding to pieces
off Cape Hatteras. Life savers were
trying to get to the wreck, but she
had foundered deep and far out. The
Arizona's radio picked up the news
first at 2 o'clock. An hour later more
news came. The life savers had res
cued some of the men from the wreck
ed ship, and wreckage was coming
ashore. The vessel was the armored
cruiser Gerel of the Pera class
damaged in the fight with the Arizona

not steer. Fifty officers and men had
been killed by gunfire. OF the re-

but In return had damaged the Car

weather warning in the navy code; a
hurricane was on the way. The gov
eminent had forbidden the publishing
of the warning ashore. lest it be sent
to the enemy's ships, too, but the
barometer told the story. Rain was
falling now-rain, driven almost hori-
zontal by the gale and ceasing sud
denly while lightning f1ared and forked
over the sea and thunder tremendously
rumbled.
About 8 o'clock Bob Wendell went
to the wardroom for supper. Torpedo
defense requires all gunnery o&scers to
be on duty during firing; but, although
torpedo attack by destroyers was still
possible, the weather made it more
and more improbable and the light
ming was flashing sc frequently as to
illumine the sea for seconds at a time.
Accordingly, officers and men were be-
ing sent, in small groups, to supper.
Bob sat beside Garry at the table.

each other since the battle.
