AMPHIBIOUS TRAINING

Almost every army unit that en-
tiers the Pacific theatre of war
undergoeS some kind of amphibiouS
warfare training, and my unit has
not been an exception. Every prob
lem that can be solved during
training of this sort may mean the
saving of many lives in later oper-
atoms, and the training also gives
confidence to the men, many of
whom have had very little to do
with the ocean.
Basic amphibious training is more
or less an introduction to the many
specialized types of landing craft
that are used to make an amphib-
ious landing. About the smallest
of these is the LCR, little rub
Der raft that comes in two sizes
and bounces around on the water
like a cork. The day 1 made the
acquaintance of these rubber bath
tubs was rather rough, and the
whole group of us had more fun
than the proverbial barrel of mon
keys.
We tried the large rubber boat
first, and the ten of us hoisted the
ugly monster high above our heads
and waded out about hip deep wa
ter. We dropped the boat down
with a splash, and the man who
was going to use the steering pad
die clambered aboard. Then the
rest of us tried to get in, but We
didn't coordinate our actions quite
right, and the whole works tipped
over, dousing us all in the briny
foam. The second trial was more
successful. and we all got into the
boat. Four men on each side did
the padding, with the helmsman
in the stern and the tenth man
stuck in the bow. The bowman's
job was to grasp the rope affixed
to the prov and pull the pliable
nose up every time We headed into
breakers. All of this sounded fine
in theory, but with a couple of hill
billies who didn't know which end
of the paddle you stuck into the
water, our boat simply went around
in eccentric circles. And then dis
aSter hit US again, for We let biz
wave catch us broadSide and the
inevitable result was another dous-
ing. AS we were already as wet as
possible. we didn't care in the least,
and after few more tries at navi-
eating, we caught the knack of il
and Unanswered around like ole
sailors.
The larger landing craft you have
undoubtedly seen in various photo
graphs, so I won't go into detsil
about them. They always provided
a wet ride unless the ocean was
unusually calm, and the way they
bounced around on the waves made
many a landlubber lean over the
side and wish that he had never
left mother When we hit the beach,
the ramp would drop down and We
would rush out, sloshing through
the intervening water and zigzag-
ging up the beach to a spot that
provided some cover and conceal
ment.
A more advanced course in am
phibious training included five days
out at sea in type of little troop
ship called an APA. / was STUCK

"PREPOSTEROJS," said Lady
Tressilian. She drew herself up on
her pillow and glared tiercely
around the room. ABSOLUTELY pre-
p~osterous. Neville must be mad"
1T does seem rather odd" said
Mary Adm.
Lady T~ressilian had a striking
looking profile with a slender
brideed nose down which, when so
inclined. she could look with telling
effect. Though now over 20 and in
frail health, her native vigor of
mind was in no way impaired. She
had, it is true, long periods of re-
treat from life and its emotions
when she would lie with half closed
ewes but from these semi-cOmas
she would emerge with all her fac
ulties s~harpened to the uttcrmost,
and with an incisive tongue.
PrOpped up by pillows in a large
bed set across n cOrncr of her
room, she held her court like some
French Queen. Mary Adm, a dis
tant cousin, lived with her and
looked after her. The two women
got on together eXcellently. Mary
was 36, but had n of those
smooth, ageless faces that change
little With passing years. She
had a good 1Lure. an air of breed
ing, and dark hair to which one
lock of white across the front gave
a touch of individuality. 1t was at
n time a fashion, but Mary's
white lock of hair was natural and
she had had it since her girlhood.
She looked down now renectively
at Neville Strange's letter which
Lady Tressilian had handed to her,

1T would be quite like her. New

gushing to my mind. Nobody has
