shells came screeching back.
The shells struck against sheets of
steel which had been fastened to the
sides of the junks and then painted
for concealment. They struck against
armor plating such as might have
been attempted hundreds of years ago.

modern airplanes. Summoned by
wireless, Japanese planes arrived in
time to bomb and to machine gun.
Three of the junks were bombed.
