in British West Africa. He also showed pictures he had taken of the mission activity on the field of the Lutheran Augustana synod in Tan- ganyika Territory. Civilization alone, pastor Melander stated, will only make the African wiser but not bet- ter; 1t is the gospel message of sal- vation which alone can transform him, and better his condition spirit ually and physically. He called at- tention to the corrupt conditions, the filthy, unsanitary surroundings and the great ignorance of the Afr. can native. The Rev. MT. Melander had with him . small music box, which he called the natives piano. Himself Q musician, he has found his ability to play the violin and the accordion of great help in his work as missionary.
 Pastor Melander Asas introduced by the pastor of Zion church, Rev. E. Einar Kron. An offering was re- ceived for the African mission work. The audience greatly appre- ciated his message and many rec mained after to question him fur ther as to his work. He left today for Portland, Conn, where he speaks tonight at Zion Lutheran church of that community.

told how the Jet black hair Of one sailor turned dead white in six hours. As they related their story, the hands of the two seamen shook just little. Not from fright, but from the reaction of reliving the shattering experience of first see- ing life and then seeing death to the tune of torpedoes and the caca- phony of exploding tankers.
 An English seaport had been the jumping-off place for the con- voy's not long but highly perilous trip through those mine -dotted and submarine infested waters which stretch from Lands End to Gibral- tar.
 There were tankers filled with gasoline. There were bigger ships packed to the gunwales with shells for the camouflaged guns which jut from every foot of Gibraltar'5 majestic north face. And there were some, like the one that these two sailors manned, which carried food for the strategic fortress pen- inSula.

 Occasionally airplanes would ap. pear from out of the sun. Then all gun stations would be manned, with no one relaxing until they had been recognized as the Cata- lima flying boats ordered to keep an eye on this group of ships steaming slowly along at their lum- bering eight knots each hour.

 UNDER COVER
 OF THE NIGHT
 During the early hours of the third night Q heavy formation of U-boats struck.
 The submarine commanders had waited until the mantle of night concealed them from the eyes of those flying boats overhead = then they had moved in for the kill. Tn 8 precision formation of their own they had suddenly emerged up into the center of that long convoy which was struggling along in box formation, firing as they broke surface with periscopes.
 That's when the night became hell, the seamen say. For though some of those first quickly fired torpedoes missed, many did not, and soon there was the unforgettable scene of blazing ships, burning va ter, vessels settling slowly ct the stern and seamen padding helo- lessly around in the death -cold waters which lie outside Biscay along the northernmost coast of Portugal.
 For six hours and more this first attack continued with gun crews aboard the still moving freighters trying their best to pour shells into the low-lying, deadly hulls of those undersea boats which dotted the water up and down the long line. Destroyer and coryettes' fire final ly did the job and then, with Inc suddennesS with which 1t began, the attack stopped. Quiet reigned except for the shouts of men in

the water and the hiss of escap- ing steam suddenly striking cold salt and the staccato boom of depth charges exploding in the distance.
 The formation drew closer that next day. Survivors, most of them, had been picked up by the tail- end boat. And as the bedraggled convoy sped slowly forward, trying to put distance behind, prepara- tions were made to repel another attack. Catalina flying boats no- vered overhead almost constantly.
 Then 1t came. After nightfall, as before.
 The destroyers knew U-boats were approaching by their asdlc

locators and went into action in- mediately.
 They might have got some on the approach, but they, like the planes overhead, were harnpered by the boats they guarded. They had no freedom of movement after the German ships came up inside the convoy. And similarly, she Catalinas above could drop no bombs because at night the phos- phorescent wake of Q slow-movtng freighter looks little different from the churning frosh of stalking U-boat,
 So 1t was with shell fire that they fought. From nightfall to nearly dawn the fight went on.
