the part of the government. Of
course the bereaved must suffer. But

One grue some enga cement has been
only recently uncovered. Perhaps no

ships. Nobody was supposed to
know they lay there. AS a matter
of fact only ABOUT three t1sherm en-,
two shopkeepers, and a prime min

Hence the surprise it was when
early one morning a patrol boat near
the harbor's mouth reported a sub
marine between her and the squad
ron. She added that the enemy had
just emerged and was heading for
the men of-war Apparently he was
in the very act Of delivering a NOR

monsters, ordinarily SO Formidable
and now almost helpless in the face
of death. But discipline forsook no
man. Sirens yelped the alarm.
Tsrgles coughed and screamed, Men

Twenty seconds after the enemy ap-
peared he was draped in a solid wan
of spray. Hail Of shells fen about
him like gravel from a trough. Their
tearing screech echoed from the sur
rounding hills. And because men
are animals underneath, the noise
was music in the ears of those who
fought. They were aveng1ng great
misdeeds
Suddenly silence fell and gray
smoke Of dunnite lifted slowly IN

was that such men were better dead.
