'"I had only four bombs-we hadn't

AFRAID alarm blew and we'd had
TO clear off the field--so sighted on
the last ship and let go all four In

''If you're dropping instantaneous
fuse bombs, of course you see the
splash of deck planking and debris
the instant 1t hits, but 1t doesn't do
much damage-all on the surface.
But these were delayed-action fuses.
From that altitude there isn't much
to see when they first crack the
deck. There's a little pause, and
then there's the sweetest geyser OF
deck splinters, and foam, and ma
chinery, and Japanese infantry cor
porals you'd ever hope to gaze down
at. AS I think I said, we blew her
stern off. I kept peeking back un-
til the debris subsidized, and / could
see solid blue water between the
two halves of the ship.

Bangl It shook the ship so badly

he fell face-down on the field. Or

From Florida said Margo. ST
could hear the telephone operators
working, setting up that line all
around the world, from here where
ii was noon to midnight in the trop-
les. And finally Franks own voice.
Have you got paper and pencil?' he
asked. Now take down this name: /:
Mrs. w. Fl. Warrenfeltz, of Hagers-
town, Maryland. Her son Bud is
going on a mission and he wants
her to know there probably will be
some money deposited to her ac-
count in the Hagerstown bank from
New York. Tell her Bud sends his
love to Billy, Jane, and all, and of
course to her. He wants her to use
half the money to buy her home.
and the rest is for her to live on, and
he wants her to be happy, however
it comes OUT
''Then I told Margo the boy was
going on a most dangerous mission.
We didn't know how dangerous until
after he left, for his course took
him right across the path of the
main Japanese fleet. And now,"
Frank said bitterly, this little story
has a happy ending, so far as the
War Departments auditors are con-
cerned. Because the five thousand
dollars which Bud Warrenfeltz
thought his mother was going to get,
when he went out to face the Japa-
nese fleet, was never paid. It never
cleared through the New York banks
before Java fell. I suppose those
New York bankers were more pru-
dent than Bud, and took no chances
on Java paper. So Buds mother
didn't get any money, and even Bud
himself never got through to Manila.
Let's hope he's Japanese pris.
oner."
after I'd written down the mes.
sage to Mrs. Warrenfeltz, II seemed
that Frank just wanted to visit"
said Margo. "Of course 1t was won.
derful to talk to him, because fol-
some reason there didn't seem tc
be any censors clicking in on the
line"
1.-THE censors had all caught the
boat" explained Frank. "In few
hours the Japs would have Java, Sc
it didn't much matter what they
knew"
"But after we talked about fifteer
minutes ! began to worry" saic
Margo. Living on an Air Corps
salary, you have to think of money
AS we talked couldn't help think
ing Ii was six dollars and a half fol
every minute, and | said we'd bet
ter hang up. Then he explained
we could talk all we liked, because
1t was a government call"
"I didn't tell her what govern
ment 1t was on" said Frank. "Sht
didn't know that the Japanese wer,
taking over tomorrow, and they
would get the bill"
"After that it was wonderful,
said Margo. Frank was coming
through as clearly as if he were in {
pay station downtown. He told m,
there would be no more calls for
while, and from that I guessed tha
maybe in q week or so the Air Corp,
