Axis Bombs and TOrpedoeS
 PerilOuS Trip Along Britain'S
By PAUL MANNING (NEA Service Foreign
 CorresD0nfienel

Tn Convoy or West Africa, March 1i-(By Radio)-The Germans bombed Liverpool the night we sailed. They moved slowly down the Mersey, dropping magnetic and acoustic mines. On the blacked-out deck of the 6,000-ton ship Lewis guns set up chattering barrage. Every fifth bullet was a tracer, cre- ating 8 streaming cross-pattern of light.
 It didn't last long, this raid. No 200 Junkers like last spring, but it gave the conveys a headache. Maybe the Germans knew it would. When dawn broke we began slipping down toward the open, sea, with mine sweepers ahead of our ship and others following. Some of our ships flew the red flag of ammunition ships, whose crews get extra money for carrying nitroglycerine and lay ing mines, Others like ours merely had general cargo-above deck, two Glenn Martin bornberS, below, ton or two of TINT, dismantled Hurrt- cane fighter planes, lubricating oil, copper wire, guns and food.
 sos HEARD FROM
 BRIGHTER ON ROCKS
 The convoy accelerated speed when the Irish sea was reached and then began the 30-day voyage to malaria-ridden West Africa. It is 5000 miles in peacetime, but more than 4,000 now by the deceptive, cir- cuitous route we followed.
 A storm prevented the ships from swinging into line abreast the for- nation that first day. It chopped the Irish sea into fury by midnight. First sos that the convoy received was from 8 Belgian freighter, bound for the Belgian Congo, which the rocks had claimed. By morning an- other vessel was reported ashore.
 But by the third day, the 4S lum- bering ships were finally moving eleven abreast across the ocean in a majestic zigzag. Patrol planes oc- casionally dropped low out of cloud banks. They were progressively Lockheed- -Hudsons, Whitleys, then Sunderlands, then long-range Cata- linas which kept watchful eye on the convoy as we passed slowly through the danger zone which is the shuttle route of the German Focke-Wulf condors.
 These big Luftwaffe babies swing out on patrol each day from Bor- deaux to point about 200 miles west of Ireland before turning in- land to head for their base at Sta- vanger, Norwal.

Germans do sink ships every day. Anyway that's what we talked about for awhile, the Eurasian Rodrigues and I.
 This was his second attempt to reach the Red Sea at Massawa, where he's a junior engineer on Brit ish harbor clearance. He was 18 days in a lifeboat, and during that time covered l0S0 miles, ending up in Brazil.
 But Rodrigues shows no effect of that ordeal, unless it's 8 pensive quietness and respect for German espionage, which, he says, informed the U-boats of the sailing time, the route and munition- carrying ships. One vessel went high into the air when torpedo struck, and another

 THAN IN LONDON
 Each day begins at seven c. m., when Jimmy, the West African, slips to each bunk with tea and the an- nouncement 'sYoh baff's ready" The food is only fair, yet tt Is better than you get in London and the breakfast of bacon and eggs which was served each Thursday and Sunday morns ings was something any habitue of the Savoy or Ritz would want, but couldnt get.
 It was during the first 90 days on any clear afternoon that you could see the little Russian and his wife striding slowly around the narrow deck of the New Zealand liner which plowed forward at head of the third column. Their route lay to Cape town, then up the Persian Gulf to Bandor Snapur where they were to entrain for the Caspian Sea and home.
 That first morning in Liverpool they had offered me transportation from the Adelpti Hotel to the docks.
 They had been laughing and cheerful. This Russian and his wife had said 1t was fine to be going home. You knew what they meant. At breakfast we had washed down the porridge and fish with vodka which the Russian had nysteriously produced as Q toast to the journey which lay ahead. And they had told me of their two sons in the Red army and of their daughter Tatiana, who works in gun factory just out side city between Moscow and Kui- beshev.
 A SUDDEN FLASH
 ON THE HORIZON
 When the attitudes of the Azores and Cape Verdes had been passed, the ship over at the head of that third column and lone oil tanker steamed from the huddled safety of the convoy toward the horizon and Capetown. They didn't quite make 1t.
 You could see the sudden flash of an explosion just this side of the horizon and then through glasses you could watch the big ten- thous- and tonner settling slowly at the stern. A destroyer later flashed a signal that the U-boat had been &C., counted for. The tanker had long ago shuttled back to safety.
 But there never was any signal flash for the little Russian and llJs wife. who were not listed among the survivors. That was too bad, for they were going home and they had felt so good that morning in Liver pol as they told of their two sons in the Red army and of their daughter Tatiana, who works in a gun fac- tory just outside the city between Moscow and Kuibeshev.

vessel with cargo of steel rails part ed like severed eggshell and dis appeared in 30 seconds.
 At nightfall tension takes com mand. On deck there's a blackout which makes drab London seem like a carnival city of lights and music. No one ever mattresses and you fol- low the nighttime pattern of plac- ing lifebelt, passport and money within quick reach when depth charges begin exploding with their vicious crack. When near, they just about roll you out of bed.
 That happened the first week off the Irish Coast. Passengers later said they were thinking of freight CT which had been reported sunk up ahead that night and the purser
