To make things worse, the sea

tension makes itself heard above

Moments later we swing in for

pourS from the darkness. It
looks as though a hose sudden
ly had been turned on, but in
stead of water pouring out,
there's a stream of incandescent
balls, yellow and green and red
and white. They look fragile,
like Christmas tree decorations.
FIRE ON OWN SHIPS
Second later another stream
appears, crossing the first, head

roar Of the heavier armament
Our sister MGB's have opened
up, too, adding 10 the din and
display, but were too busy 10

noise Marshall gives orders to
the coXswain in a conversational
tone. There is no excitement, no
yelling, no cursing.
Suddenly the enemy fire turns
on US. Fear has left me. My

The beautiful round balls of

Then the sharp whistle of bull

still, even though we're racing
through the water.
