Attock-ond Vengeance! The Story Of Torpedo 8

Lawrence and Hayes were in the
plane with Red. Esders sat still,
holding himself in, waiting for Reds
plane to blow up or catch on fire.
But nothing like that happened.
The darkness below remained dark.
Then Esders began to circle, going
lower and lower, looking for Red
Thurman had been with him at the
start. Then Thurman Was gone,
cropping off by himself somewhere
N the darkness, and Esders circled
a.one before finally coming back in
The weather curled in thick, gas
eons, Notwithstanding rolls over the
damp earth of Henderson Field.
3ruce Harwood thought maybe
Thurman would come back with the
dive bombers and he stood in the
weather, sweating the dive bombers
in. You could hear the planes in
the sky, fumbling blindly one by
one. They threw on the search
lights, but the lights hit up against
the fog like brick wall 20 feet off
the ground. The lights were walked
uncertainty along the underside of
the overcast, looking for holes to
throw a beam up into. But the
overcast was solid. The searchlights
got nowhere and the planes never
saw them until their wheels were
stretching out for the ground. Lis
tening to the planes cropping around
overhead did funny things to the
sound. It bounced it along and
made it echo as in caverns and, if
you were trying to place a plane by
Its sound, you wound up sure it was
right in the mountains.
Take Off to Help.
Finally all the planes were ac-
counted for except Johns. He was
still wandering around up there.
Bruce said the hell with sweating,
he'd 60 out and bring him back.
Some of Lou Kirn's dive bombing
boys said to count them in on that
and they all took off together, going
on instruments before they got to
the end of the runway.
The planes all kept together at
first and about 20 minutes out ran
into a crystal-clear patch of air
with, right in the middle of it, a
Jap destroyer that opened UP on
them with all its guns at once.
Kirn's fellows had bombs with them
Bruce's plane wasn't loaded. He
had just taken the first Avenger
that was at hand, not figuring to
run into anything. So Kirn's men
grouped themselves for an attack
and Bruce went on by himself.
AS Bruce swung out of range of
the gunfire the dive -bombers were
beginning to drop on the target.
He saw the first bomb hit and flare
like a match against the destroyer's
deck. Then the weather swallowed
him up.
1t was very eerie there, like in the

James H. Flanagan and Engineer
Commissioner Charles w. Kutz deny
the charge. They maintain they are
under a call from Joseph Eastman,
defense transportation administra-
tor, to work out group riding plans
as means of saving gasoline, tires
and taxicabs; that the present rates
applicable to more than one person
In cab are confusing and need SIM
pliflcation; that the proposed per
person group riding rates would not
constitute general increase in rates,
though they believe them to be at
such levels as to encourage both the
public and the taxi drivers to foster
group riding as against individual
lied cab usage.
June Proposal Recalled.
In June of last year, an informal
proposal was made to the PUG by
representatives of the taxi men and
the commissions staff for group
riding rates Of 20, Is, 80 and 40
cents per person for trips OF one,
two, three or four zones, respec-
lively Subsequently, however, the
commission granted an increase of
10 cents in the basic tax rates for
all zone rides except those confined
to zone 1, or to any subzone OF zones
2, 3 and 4.
The plan of the PUG majority
for a new set of group-riding rates
was submitted to the OPA Feb
ruary 18, following January hear
ings. When the reply was that the
proposed schedules would be con-
sidered s. general increase, it was
assumed the OPA would take the
order to court, if issued. and the
majority resorted to call for an
other hearing in the hope some
solution could be found.

middle of cotton filled cave. He
kept talking to John, through the
radio and then, abruptly, John
answered him. Bruce" he said,
where in the hell are you?"
I'm here" said Bruce. He felt
so happy at finding John that, for a
moment, he couldn't make sense.
Where are you?"
I'm here, too, but I don't know
where here is at"
Planes Were Close.
The planes must have been very
close together, but they couldn't see
each other. Bruce gave him a
course. Just follow me in" he said.
I'LL take you home all right"
Il don't know whether I'm fol-
lowing you or going away from you
or going into you or what"
Just keep talking, that's all.
There's clear weather about ten
minutes from here with a dead Jap
in the middle of it,"
How do you know he's dead?"
Dead or dying. Kirn's boys are
hitting him."
"If he's dying, he's got company.
That's the way I feel now"
Don't talk like that" said Bruce.
But keep talking" He knew that,
as long as they could hear each
other, they were in the same neigh
borhood and not going away from
each other.
I've had SO many narrow escapes
tonight going down low to look
where I am that I think I've used
up all my luck" said John.
That was the last ever heard
from him.

CHAPTER XXI.


The night of October 6, about II
o'clock, Thurman went up to Cape
Esperance. with Esders and Doggett
to bomb some newly-landed JaI
supply dumps on the beach.
There was theory around that 9
fellow who had gone through the
narrowing of a water landing ratec
a mainland leave or, at least, a leave
in Australia or Hawaii. But the
Japs were shaping up for a big
battle and no man could be spared
so Thurman and his crew had beer
put right back to work. He hao
grumbled little about it. Are you
unfit for combat duty?" Swede asked
him.. IF you are, say SO, and III
see what I can do about getting you
a leave"
John had grinned back amiably
well, I can't go so far as to say I'm
unfit" he had replied. II just feel
leave would be handy thing to
have"
"Who doesnt?"
That's right" John had agreed.
On this Tuesday night the weather
was really socked in. Cape Esper-
ar1ce was only a minute or so flying
time from Henderson Field, but il
was easier to see the land O. Goshen
from there than the airport. Dive
bombers went along to drop flares on
the target. Dive-bombing on night
such as that one was is like roller
coasting blindfolded into the mouth
of a volcano But the flares were
dropped where wanted and the tor
pedo bombers came in right on tor
of them.
They did glide bombing. Esders
got direct hit, a regular boom
boomer, followed by fires.
Il think I'm a little high" Rec
Doggett said, I'm going down tc
have look"
Red Hits Water.
His landing lights dipped into the
blackness and then dipped more
steeply. Esders banked around ano
suddenly he saw a reflection oi
Reds exhaust stacks bouncing and
bobbing on the darkness and streak
ing along it. Red couldn't see the
reflections. They were back of him
1t took Esders a moment to realize
that the reflections were coming
off the water and that Red, still
going down to see where he was,
was going right into the water
Red" he screamed into the radio
Red" And then Reds plane hit
the water a smack and bounced $50
feet into the air and turned over on
its back before dropping into the
sea again
