CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
THIS is the day Of asadal"

THIS is the day Of asada,"
Terry was reused from a sleep Of
exhaustion by Angela's happy cry
She had tossed miserably most q,
the night. telling herself she was q
fool to stay on today for a native
barbecue. Why had she promised
Jime she would
She dragged into a cold shower
and then back to the steaming
breakfast tray. If this horrible feel
ing was love, she told herself hit
terly, then she wanted none of il.
Why torture herself by sticking
around here? Why not 90 back &c
New York quickly and marry Fitz
and forget Argentina and Brooks
Kimberly? She might even be able
TO hire a ghost writer to finish her
book.
This thought snapped her out OF
1t. If she couldn't even bear TO write
OF him she was a coward. Jime was
right. She had to face the thing
and laugh it off.
Angela was prattling in a wild
mixture of Spanish and broken
American slang, of the excitement
below stairs. When Terry cut in to
ask of Pedro her happiness dubbed
higher. Pedro was we'll again.
Pedro was fine. The doctor put
sticks on his leg and told them
jokes and a nurse was with him to-
day.
When she dressed and went down
later, Jime met her in the hall. She
smiled at her warmly if briefly and
called that she was going faster
than a-what as it, a gull?
"A bat" Terry laughed.
That's it." said Jime briskly. ~

brood on the wisdom of her deci-

household. Brooks and Corinne
were closeted in his study working
on Brooks speech. SO everything
had fallen upon Jime's shoulders.
Jime needed an assistant badly.

WASHINGTON, May 18. CUP)-
Big Ben has come back from the
most terrible U. S. ship disaster in
this war and will fight again-on
borrowed time.
Behind her in the bloody Pacific,
wslere for is lorrs she was q flaH-
ing funeral pyre for heroes, she left
more than 1000 casualties as the
price of her survival. It was the
heaviest price thus far paid by an
American fighting ship in World
War II. 1t was twice the cost Of
the entire battle of the Coral sea.
STRUCK SOON AFTER DAWN
Big Ben is the USS Franklin, 81
000-ton Essex class carrier. An hour
after dawn on March 10, as she
stood go miles off Japan, she was
as proud and trim warship as ever
rode the waves. She was a carrier
division flagship poised to strike
with other units of Vice Adm. Marc
Mitscher's task force So at rem
nants of the Japanese fleet in the
inland sea.
Imperial Valley press., 1945-05-18

500-pound armor- piercing bombs
found their marks until the agony
was over, Big Ben took enough pun
ishment to kill a hundred ships,
enough to wreck city.
In the hours of her ordeal, 200,-
0o0 pounds of the carriers own
bombs, rockets and ammunition
blew up, and an eetimated 1900
gallons CT high octane aviation gaso-
line either burned in cascades of
flame or exploded in volcanic
eruptionS. .
OF the ships complement of more
than $500 sailors and men of air
group 13, many scores died in a
flash. Other hundreds were blown
into the sea, where many drowned
Fire, fumes and smoke trapped and
killed still others below decks.
Heroic rescue work, brilliant sea-
manShip, and incredibly efficient
damage control operations saved
many hundreds. The exact number
of survivors remains undisclcsed be-
cause the navy does not want the
enemy to know just how many men
the Franklin carried.
706 SURVIVE
But at least 706 of the crew sur
vived to sail the carrier from the
Ecene of the disaster, and other
hundreds of sailors and airmen were
removed and kept in the Pacific.
The japanese reported Big Ben
sunk, and the. navy admits that
"she should by all accounts have
gone to the bottom"
Another reason Big Ben lived is
that she had a friend standing by,
the gallant light cruiser Santa Fe
With the crippled carrier listing
ominously, Capt. H c. Fitz slammed
the Santa Fe alongside to take off
wounded and survivors.
In SC doing, the Santa Fe shared
the Big Ben's mortal danger be-
cause. as the carriers captain re-
ported later, I'VE were still blowing
up in all directions"
But Fitz fixed us up," Genres
