The bride was dressed in q
gold suit with white accessories,
and wore a corcage of pink rose
buds. The ring rite was read by

fast, and intercept them. That
we were successful in this, lies in
the fact that no enemy night
raiders have appeared in our area
for 4 months. That is one Of the
reasons why I was recalled from
China, for with the lack of night
raiders new uses were to be de-
veloped for our ships and training.
