Bill good nsturedly. He put his

the top Of Susan's disheveled head.
Susan didn't speak for a moment,
but snuggled. Dear. dear Bill, she
thought, still like a little boy at
heart. Her heart seemed to get up
somewhere in her throat. Bill"
she said, you are happy, aren't

Before the rain, Cal was at his

time by writing a letter. He took

eating several were involved
presumably those which aided in
the conquest of the Gilberts south
of the Marshalls.
Only once before had carrier
planes hit the Marshalls. That

Gilberts are developed as bases.

hit, a navy LiberatOr of fleet
