shipping in the Mediterranean.
News of the submersible's latest
attack on the British destroyer
Havock, the seventeenth since

from a high official source:
THE situation has become in
tolerable. You can expect the

IF an outside power is respon'
sible for these raids on neutral
shipping, destruction of the sub

an embarrassing situation. The
power will be forced to cease

Attack on Warship
Hastens Action
Bx KINGsBuRY SMITH

By klNGSbUHI SMA1n
LONDON, Sept. d.N.SJ.--Out-
ragged by another attack on a YES
sci of his majesty's fleet, Great
Britain moved swiftly today to put
an end to the activities of the
phantom submarine" which for
weeks has haraSsed neutral ship
ping in the Mediterranean.
The admiralty was spurred to
action when the destroyer HaVock
was attacked by the mysterious
submersible off Valencia. The sub
marine fired a torpedo point
blank at the Havock but missed.
SEVENTEENTH ATTACK
It was the seventeenth separate
attack by the phantom" under"
sea craft on neutral vessels since
the first of August.
The destroyerS Hyperion and
Hardy were ordered out of Gibral-
tar Immediately after the attack
to aid the Havock in its search
for the submarine.
"A few hours later, the destroyers
aereward and Hasty put out from
Gibraltar to join the grim game
Of hide and seek.
| All five vessels were under or
ders to scour every inch Of the
Mediterranean from Alicante to
Valencia, a distance of more than
three hundred miles, and to drop
depth bombs and detonators in
an attempt to bring the sub
mersible to the surface.
FIRE AT SIGHT
The phantom submarine" Is
believed to be operating out OF
the Balearic Islands. Its activl-
ties have been reported as far
south as Tangier, where a Soviet
freighter was torpedoed yesterday.
The Italian government today
disavowed any responsibility Cor
the latter incident, despite charges
1 by the captain of the Soviet vessel
that he had been attacked by an
Italian submarine. The Balearic
Islands are now for the most part
in Italian hands.

For weeks Helen had watched these two,
trying not to believe the things she couldn't
avoid seeing: the exchange of furtive looks,
the lingering touch of hands. Knife -thrusts
through her heart, all of them. After ten years
of marriage what, she wondered, were her
claims upon him? There we're no children.
Her fault, the doctor said. This delicate young
thing could probably give them to him -.
every mans right, Dicks right, too. Just be-
ing married to man, was that enough to
constitute strangle hold on him forever and
ever? Was one really married any more if he
ceased to care? Both caring, terribly, that was
marriage! Her love for him, one-sided, alone,
wasn't enough. If it was really as she feared,
it would be indecent, cruel, to hold him to a
VOW that had grown empty and meaningless
to him. If she only k,ev, if she could
only be sure of how he felt toward her,
toward Kay!
Day after day she had put off facing the
matter, having it out. The pain of putting her
devouring question into words, had been too
great. And now here they were, three IN a
tiny world of their own, with the hurricane
holding its monstrous breath outside.

per hour, is expected to strike in the vicinity
of Palm Beach within the next half hour. Do
not leave your shelters"
Half an hour! Would the building stand?
The ground was low and the ocean near. Sup
pose ocean and lake met, as they had been
known to do in days gone by? Must the three
die together? 1t wasn't right to ask that of
her, No, no! Some scene too heart-rending for
human endurance might occur at the last.
Better to steal quietly through the other room
when they were not noticing, open the outer
door and slip into the bright, sultry lull
beyond, to go with the wind into oblivion,
never knowing for sure what they were to each
other. Better die alone out there and let them
have that supreme moment in freedom. A
glorious last gift to the man she loved!
Nearer my God, to Thee, sang the RADIO
Nearer to Thee ..."
Suddenly the building staggered. 1t was
as if the sturdy wall had been struck mighty
blow by some superhuman hand. Then the
eerie, whining roar of the wind, unbearably
close, the sound of flying objects crashing
against the boarded windows, the sharp hiss
of incredible rain whirling, slashing against
the roof.

land, attention. The ocean is coming over"
There was cracking sound as the radio fell
into CHASTITY, abrupt silence. Like automatons,
the three came together at window, peering
through the small star cut into the wooden
barrier Outside. the palms bent and twisted
in agony. Along the street flew strange OBJ
jects, wicker chair, the top of great tree,
a shower of flying coconuts, hurting like
monstrous hand grenades, and then the
sea! Incredibly, the sea was coming down the
street, yellow, filthy, and furious,
Suddenly, as though meeting him in some
other world, Helen knew that her husband
was speaking, that his arms were around her
her, Helen! They strained her close.
Heads up!' he whispered. IF we're going,
it will be together. Just as it always has been,
always viii be, dearest. Together!'' Then his
lips met hers, as the sound of rushing waters
drowned all else -.
After incalculable aeons, the waters passed.
Somehow, second miracle had occurred, for
the house still stood. Helen looked at Kay
with new eyes, for the girl was white, her
hands clasped tightly, one upon the other,
and her gaze fixed on the man, in relief that
was almost akin to gladness Now that the
roar of the water was gone. strange silence
reigned 1t was broken by the girl

wondered so long. and now l know for sure
which one of US it is!'

II ~ NOT leave e. your shelters" said
the radio. The present lull may
be over at any moment and then
the storm will strike with full
force. This is police headquarters speaking
Do not leave your shelters!'
Helen Ware stirred in her dark corner of
the room, which was candle-lit at midday
The lights had become undependable during
the earlier part of the storm. They we're
marooned, the three of them in the living
room, which might have been on a lost
continent instead of in the heart of Florida
town. And what trio Helen's mouth was
dry with the bitterness of watching her hus-
band, Dick, and Kay Langly :. pretty little
Kay! Why, of all people, had it been Kay
who was pinioned against the wall opposite
by the first mighty gust of wind? Why
couldn't they have rescued some stranger
from the peril instead of the woman who was
tearing them apart after all these years of
happiness?
"American Legion members, attention.
said the radio "All members who are able,
will meet at the Town Hall Immediately after
the storm to organize care of the injured and
to bury the dead''
The girl, Kay Langly, made little moan
ing noise and Helen saw her husband look
solictously at the curly blonde head. He
used, she thought, to look at her that way.
That was in the days when she'd worked so
hard at his side, slowly building up what
fortune they had. But even those material
things might go too with the next impact of
the storm. They seemed unimportant now,
those possessions, for the things that had
made them worth while, the love that hadg given
them meaning, was apparently undermined.
