were unable to pay for such care
for their children. They also voted

the money they earn on this child

right opened up. Flares dropped by
Jap planes had us silhouetted
against our transports.
1.-THE Quincy took two distinct
lists. After the first one, many of
the people whose battle stations had
been shot away jumped overheard.
Others stayed behind to give first
aid and cut away the life rafts.
while up on the catapult, I saw
one of the mechanics blasted away
right before my eyes. A shell ex-
ploded and I knew some of the frag-
ment hit me because my left arm
was dead. Then the hangar under
me exploded.
II guess was foolish, but didn't
think the ship would sink. hung
on and kept moving aft until the
ship went over to an angle of 80
degrees.
Remembering the Battle of Jut-
land, thought it was better to stay
on the ships side than get down in
the flaming oil. So hung on with
my good arm.
Sucked Under With Ship.
Gall Of sudden I felt the ship
rolling over on me. Padding like
the devil I managed to get out from
under it as it went down by its
bow.
"The life jacket I was wearing
was partially punctured and I must
have been sucked under about Is
feet at the stern of the vessel. I
guess the happiest thought of the
moment was when saw something
shimmerlng overhead and began
working to reach the surface"
At first, 1t. Gibson said, he didn't
see any one around. When a mat
tress hoated by, he said, he mounted
it sideways because of a fear of
sharks. He still was garbed in his
flying suit, helmet, goggles and
gloves.
+ In little while he said he saw
two men floating by, holding an
other man on the one life preserver
between them. Then he began see
ing others float by holding onto
powder cans.
Once a destroyer came by and
flashed light directly on him. But
he declared he was afraid to yell
because he believed 1t was a Jap
ship. So he said he just f1oated
around, aware that others were in
the water about him.
They were yelling at each other
and organizing themselves, but there
was no hysteria," he said.
Later, when another destroyer
came in sight, 1t. Gibson said he
took of his helmet and goggles and
caused enough noise to get picked
up He added that the rescue vessel
continued its operations in the battle
scene for some time.
For the time being, 1t. Gibson ex-
planned that he wanted to stick
around while. His wife, the daugh-
ter of Col. G. M. Trammell Of the
War Department, Is expecting .
baby.
He also has some wounds to heal.
Shell fragments entered his left side
and both legs. His right elbow Is
still wired up and receiving treat
ments.
After his baby arrives, however, 1t.
Gibson wants to get back into ac-
ton. He said there Is no greater
pleasure than sitting high above the
battle In q plane calling shots like
at . trapshoot and then seeing the
birds hit"
