Our squadron was on active service on

AdmiroIty's Communique
Withdrawal of B. E. F. From Greece Began
Night of April 24-25; Nuz Attacks Heavy

Lane, r. NJ and both destroyers re-
turned to Nauplia to search for
further survivors from the transport.
H. M. S. Wryneck rescued fur
ther 100 men and the burning wreck
of the transport was sunk by tor
pedo from H. M. S. Diamond since
it was danger to navigation and
was providing the enemy with light
by which to deliver his air attacks.
H. M. S. Diamond and H. M. s..
Wryneck then left Nauplia.
The next morning both of these
ships were attacked by German dive
bombers and sunk. 1t is feared that
casualties were heavy, although
some so survivors were picked up by
another destroyer sent to search the
area and it is believed that at least
one boat may have reached the
Greek shore.
Survivors from these destroyers
reported that they repeatedly we're
attacked by machine-gun fire by
German aircraft while they were in
the water.
4,200 More Withdrawn.
During the night of April 27-28
about 4,200 men were withdrawn
from the Raphthis area by warships.
1t was then hoped to carry out
final embarkation on the night of
April 1929. 1t was estimated that
there were about 5000 troops and a
number of Yugoslav refugees to be
embarked from the Kalamata area :
about 1000 troops to be embarked
from Monemvasia. and about $50
R. A. F. personnel from Kithera.
Arrangements were made for
Withdrawal of all of these forces by
warships.
Soon after midnight on April %,
our forces which had proceeded to
the Kalamata area reported that
this had already been occupied by
the enemy and that the plan to en-
bark the 5000 men and Yugoslav
refugees from that area had had to
be abandoned.

was given as his view that the only
possibility of embarking further
troops from this area was to pick up
stragglers in destroyers and boats
from the east side of the gulf.
Despite the enemys occupation,
nearly 500 men were withdrawn by
our naval units from the kalamata
area during this night. At the same
time, $3.50 men of the imperial
forces were withdrawn from the
Monemvasia area and $50 r. A. F.
personnel from the Kithera.

London, May 3.-An Admiralty
cor1munique today on the British
troop withdrawal from Greece
said.
Although full details have not yet
been received, 1t is possible to give
some account of the activities of the
Royal Navy in connection with the
withdrawal of imperial forces and a
number of Greek and Yugoslav
troops and refugees from Greece.
Withdrawal of imperial troops
from Greece began on the night Of
April 24-25. 1t was known this
would be an operation of extreme
difficulty and danger owing to the
enemy's command of the air, con-
figurations of The Greek coast and
the fact that enemy air attacks al
ready had made most of the major
Greek ports unusable.
During the night of April 24-25
about 1880 of the imperial forces
were withdrawn from the Rapthis
and Nauplia areas, During this
night an enemy transport ran
aground. She was bombed and
burned out.
On April Is it was reported enemy
forces had landed in Evvoia (Eu-
bola) in order to attack Khalkis.
from which port it was intended to
withdraw a large number of i'm
perial troops.
On the night of April 1925 about
SIS men of the imperial forces were
withdrawn from Megara.
Empty Transport Sunk.
One transport was bombed and
sunk by enemy aircraft. Fortu-
nately, the transport had not en-
barked troops and was empty. The
same night an empty transport was
damaged by enemy air attack. She
was taken in tow by a DESTROYER,
but afterwards became a total loss.
On the night of April 26-27, about
$4,000 men of the imperial forces
were Withdrawn from Greece.
Over 5000 of these were with
drawn from the Kalamata area:
over 1000 from Nauplia and $500
from the Rphina and Rapthis areas.
While the troops were being with
drawn from Nauplia, a transport
was bombed and set on fire after
having embarked troops. The de-
stroyer H. M. S. Diamond Gt.
Comdr. P. A. Cartwright, R. NJ at
once went to the rescue of troops
from this transport. Although H.
M. S. Diamond and boats from the
transport were continuously attacked
from the air, the destroyer picked up
about 500 men. On leaving Nauplia,

NEW YORK, March 5--For your l941 spring fishing kit:
 A nice, shiny new light airplane -pontoon- equipped if you like.
 That was the No. idea in new fishing gadgets on display at the annual New York sportsmen's show.
 Yes, sir, there they were, right alongside the new rods flies, and reels. And if you have $2,000 or so to spend they're just the thing to make your fishing season com plete.
 So said the enthusiastic young men who hastened to explain that you can knock off work Friday afternoon, fly to your favorite fish, ing waters, try your luck there early next morning and-if it's bad try some other waters 200 or 300 miles distant in the afternoon. And no worries about the long drive home in Sunday afternoon traf- fife. 5.
 Just a two- or three-hour hop in time to beat the darkness - with plenty of flying space for all in the airways.
 Less Expensive Items
 That's if you have S2000 to spend right off. If by some chance, you shouldn't have, there are some other gadgets that may increase in some degree your fish ing enjoyment this year.
 For you bait casters who have thumb trouble, three exhibits prominently diplayed level-wind, mechanically thunnbed plugging mill. It prevents all need for thunbing after the toss. Another attention arrester was a medium priced two-piece fly rod--9 feet, five ounces-of six-strip flame toned tonkin cane A fly rod of special square construction drew considerable comment, too. Its ex- hibitors said it affords more power per ounce, and stressed that square construction means only four glue seams, not six.
 Plastic Rod Handles
 Chemical developments turned up in the fishing displays, too. Plas- tic handles were shown on some rods and a new nylon fly line looked good, experienced anglers said.
 Fishermens comfort, too, came in for some consideration. There didn't seem to be much of any thing different in the clothing line but new portable camp of .spe- cial fabricated material showed promise. Waterproof, wind-proof, winter proof, summer proof, it's manufacturers assert.

 In the years since, however, Italy has poured billions into the colony and in the last five years had gotten a start on it's great colonization scheme. Whether Li- bya ever would have amounted to more than a row of sand hills from the standpoint of economic return-can't be said now Ger tainly, by 1940, it was costing Italy more than it ever had. It was only then that its strategic importance militarily made it seem to be worth some of the money and sweat that had been soaked up by the sands.

OLD GLORY FLEW AT DERNA

OLD GLORY FLEW AT DERNA
 While it is well remembered that in 1905, the United States Il d Stephen Decatur made history in the siege of Tripoli and threw off the shackles of the Barbary pi- rates; it may not be so well known that the American flag once flew over Derna, the beautiful little pearl of Cirenaica," whose gar dens grace the seacoast IFS miles west of Egypt.
 It was during this same war on the Barbary coast pirates that General William Eaton, former U. s. Consul at Tunis, went to Egypt. and recruited the oldest army ever collected outside fiction. It was made up of about 500 Arabs, Greeks, Americans, and exiled Berbers. Marching over 600 miles of desert in six weeks, they cap- tured superior force in the fort of Derna in 48 hours and ran the Stars and Stripes to the top of the battlements. There it remained until the war with Tripoli was over the only time, as far as l can find, that Old Glory ever floated over a chunk of conquered African terrain.

that's a problem for the British
Navy.
Sreaking off the cruiser Manches-
ter, which is undergoing repairs at
the PHILADELPHIA Navy Yard, Stin
F1er Shrapnel started on tear
through the marine barracks, but
a couple of M. P.s quickly had him
back on ship to face disciplinary
action.
Capt. Harold Drew had to drop
his work to look after the most
troublesome member of his crew Of
700. Out came Shrapnel's service
folder, record of devotion under
fire along with shore misdeeds cul-
minating in court-martial.

dog" the captain read. Origin,
doubtful; nearest known relatives,
poodle and fox; trade brought up
to, scrounger (pilferer); religious
denomination, C. of E; address, B.

The captain softened as he came
to the name of Shrapnel's first ship,
the Jaguar. Stin Ker was adopted
by retreating Tommies and taken
aboard the Jaguar only to have her
bombed from under him in the
bloody withdrawal from Dunkerque.
| He was rescued by the Manchester's
crew and Immediately signed up
until kicked out"
On November 9. 1910, Capt. Drew
read, the dog did remain absent
over leave 13 hours IS minutes, be-
ing apprehended by naval escort on
board H. M. S. King George ""
But Shrapnel was let of with =

Finally he did traitorously at
tempt to adopt a foreign accent,
