You will be surprised occa-

Without overlooking the books

1t Is insufficient to dismiss them

looking the awareness of both to
British responsibilities.
OF Kipling and Churchill
And Christopher Marlowe
The two men have another i'm
portant thing in common: Their
ability to array the English
language and march 1t through
your heart and up and down your
tingling spine.
There is another who made the
most of his heritage of the
English tongue in this crop of
biographies, an Elizabethan,
Christopher Marlowe. And it is
not any unnatural kinship when
he Is bracketed with Kipling and
Churchill-or they with him.

Francisco Bay Area for her first Navy Yard overhaul.
 From February 9th, until April 18th, the ship underwent a com- plete and satisfactory overhaul at the Submarine Repair Basin, Beth lehem Steel Company. During this period all personnel and officers were given 30 days leave and were sent to various schools for inStruc- ton in submarine warfare. Many man were transferred and new men reported aboard. Lieutenant Commander R. C. Benitez, U. s. N., was relieved as Executive Officer and Navigator by Lieutenant F. J.. Ruder, U. s. N, on March 12, 1945.
 April 26th, the DACE departed San Francisco en route Pearl Har- Dor in company with the USS WHALE.
 The two subs arrived Pearl liar bor on May fifth. For six days they underwent voyage refit then started the training period with Captain C. C. Burlingame, U. s. N, as training officer.
 The seventh war patrol started May 18th. Two subs, the DACE and the USS CABEZON, left for the cold waters of the Kuriles IS- lands.
 On the 18th, they laid over at Midway for fuel and supplies. From April 3Oth, till June 7th, the two ships, enroute to station, conducted training exercises and drills individually and together. The evening of the 7th, they sep arated and headed in for their pa- trol stations. The DACE closed the coast that night and dived in Kunashiro (ChanneD between the islands of Shikotan and Kunashlrl. Early that morning two sailing vessels were sighted through the periscope. The DACE tracked them with difficulty in the ever thlckening fog. Finally prepara- tions were made and at 0945, she surfaced in smooth water in a fog with Japanese islands only few miles on either side of them. At a range of only 1900 yards she opened fire with her five-inch gun and automatic weapons.
 The first shot from the forward gun hit the largest sailing vessel in the bow. In couple of min- utes, a five-inch shell which hit amidships started . roaring fire. Jap flags painted on the side made perfect targets for the gun crews. The DACE closed in to 800 yards and made certain the destruction was complete. She then turned her attention te the other sailing ves- sel.
 A small rowboat with one or maybe two survivors was being rowed furiously into the fog to- wards the nearest beach. The sec- ond vessel was completely desert ed. In a few minutes it too was

with all the ships and still keep our presence unknown the Cap tain sighted planes-Which served to increase our already numerous interferences. Intense anti-subma- rine measures were being em- ployed by the protectors of the Japanese ships so the Skipper had to be extremely careful. Fortunate ly for the Japs and unfortunately for the DACE, an escort carrier (which was the target singled out for her attack) was at an excessive range for our torpedoes-or else sighted and avoided our torpedoes, and consequently got away un- touched. A plane dropped a depth bomb but his aim was off, so no damage was done. At 1233, while making preparations for surfacing another bomb was dropped-this one also not too close. After sur- facing at 1433, we set out to run down the evasive targets but a plane forced use to dive two min utes later and again depth charge was felt-but wasn't close either. In the next hour or so more depth charges were dropped-but unfor- tunately none did any damage.
 The next few days were spent in normal patrol and on January 7th, the DACE made preparations for the trip to Saipan. On the 9th, two suspicious vessels which were investigated, proved to be Chinese junks. They were left untouched. On January 17th, the DACE reached Saipan and moored along side the USS SKIPJACK and the USS FULTON. On the 18th, the DACE departed Saipan en route Pearl Harbor, where she arrived on the twenty eighth.
 The patrol was successful for purposes of awarding the Subma- rine Insignia.
 The duration of this patrol was 58 days.
 The following awards were given for this patrol:
