were unable to develop the clue be-
fore darkness set in and returned to
the ship. It was the beginning of q
24-hour period which ended with q
sub killer.
The action s:arscd With the car
riers biggest destroyer, of the Ben
son class of 1937-39, commanded by
Comdr. Lindsey Williamson of Ia
kolna Park, Md, being dispatched to
investigate contact.
AS she neared the target there
was a heavy explosion and flash
of fire, followed by two underwa-
ter explosions. All three were to re-
main a mystery. Meanwhile, the
carrier was being stalked by pack
of three submarines, and another of
it's destroyers was searching with
flares and searchight for a sub
spotted within torpedo range.
Williamson's destroyer was or
dered from the scene of the ex-
plosion to another contact She fired
seven SalyoS. The contact was lost,
however, and no claim was made.
The slightly damaged" score was
made a short time later when the
same destroyer drew to within g.
900 yards OF a surface target, fired
80 rounds and obtained at least one
hit. Smoke from the target was
seen not only from the destroyer
but from the carrier. The sub
marine submerged, surfaced again
and was forced down a second time
when the destroyer opened fire
again.
The severely damaged" score
came next day, the attack starting
when a streak of oil was found on
the surface by 1t. q. g. Norman
T. Dowty of Alexandria, La.
Counihan and 1t. 81. c. Joseph
w. Steere of Yysilanti, Mich, joined
by a sister can" and as they
searched the area, the modern de-
stroyer suddenly radio-phoned the
old one:
Fish Wake
Swing right Immediately. There's
a wake. 1t may be a fish (tor
pedo)."
After a pause the old destroyer
radioed Counihan's squadron:
I'VE just had a fish fired at lis,
coming from the general direction
Of 800"
Counihan's planes searched but
developed nothing. The hunt went
on until late afternoon, when two
young pilots spotted the sub that
was to be listed as the task units
kill. They were Ensign Edward L.
Rasch, %, of Massapeqpa, N. Y,
and 1t. q. CD william J. Layden,
%, Of Gardena, Cal.
They got bearing on the target
in the depths of the water below,
and RaSch made a run over it,
dropping a bomb. Both heard vio-
lent explosions, followed by COM
plete silence. All indication of the
submarine had disappeared
Hours later, after night had closed
in, submarine surfaced south OF
the carrier and kept the big ship
in the moon trail despite zig
tagging tactics. The sub closed in
to TORPEDO range, but one of the
average destroyers had already
been sent to intercept him.
Prepares to Ram
The destroyed opened fire and
then reported she had closed to 500
yards and was preparing to ram
AS she set the ramming course,
however, the submarine crash-dived.
The destroyer made two depth
charge attacks over the spot and
was unable to re-establish contact.
Some days later, the submarines
apparently dispersed, the baby" and
her guardians set out for home,
mission completed.

Three miles away from the battles
for the bridges, the Germans were
seeking to penetrate one Of our
newly-laid minefields. Allied artil-
lery plus the big guns of warships
lying offshore some miles behind U.s.
poured heavy concentration Of
fire across the canal.
Fighting still was in progress at
all three points as night fell.
With thier backs to the battle,
italian families began to straggle
along the roads, returning to coastal
towns which the Germans forced
them to evacuate as military zones
four months ago.
The Italians, who appeared well
fed, enthusiastically chered Amer
leans moving up to the front. The
majority of their homes had been
stripped Of all furnishings by the
Germans, but otherwise had not
been damaged.
