Couldn't Be Done,
But Dan Did 1t

U-505 had left Brest,
France. in February. It's or
ders were to seek Allied ship
ping In the area between the
Canaries and the Gold
Coast and sink It. U-505 was
a big Ike type with Q crew
Of so. 1t had been commits
stoned at Hamburg on Au-
gust rs, 1871, by Vice
Admiral Wolf. In her guest
log, someone had written
I'VE sail against England;
someone else wrote: "A good
journey and rich booty; q
third wrote: "ad aStra per
asper" Ito the stars through
difficulties).
Since that time, she had
made several cruises with fair
luck. U-505 had sunk eight
British and American ships
totaling As, 200 tons. Her last
skipper was Oberleutenant
Lang, a tense perfectionist.
At 8 minutes after IL on
Sunday, June 1.-TWO days
before D-Day-U-505 and TO
1913 crossed courses $50 miles
off Port Etienne. Chatelain
made q routine report Of a
sonar contact 800 yards off
her starboard how. It was q
pretty day with q sun-span-
gled sea. Gallery realized
that 1t might be one more
false alarm, but he ordered
Guadalcanal to head into the
wind and launch two Wild
cats; ordered Chatelain, Pope
and jerks to run the contact
down, and kept Flaherty and
Pillsbury to protect the
carrier.
Chatelain cverran the
U-505. AS she turned tight
to come back, the Wildcat
pilots saw the submarine In
the clear green water and
fired machine guns to mark
the exact spot. Chatelain set
her depth charges to explode
shallow-only so feet. As
the geysers formed huge
plumeS in the sea, O pilot
yelled In his microphone:
you struck oil. Sub Is
Surfacing."
Below, Capt. LANCE real
lied that she was facing q
carrier and supporting ships.
He couldn't outrun them, or
outmaneuver them. So he
came up to periscope depth,
got a DE in his sights and
yelled Los +" A torpedo left

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

READING: When play
wright George AIDE called on
theatrical producers with his
first play, he received a uni
formly Icy reception.
The producers could not
have been less interested.
The moment he started to
read to them, they would
find other things to do. He
was usually shown the door
before he could finish the
first page.
After this had happened
several times, AIDE decided
on more aggressive action.
He was determined to read
the play through from be-
ginning to end.
When he paid his next call
on a producer, he took a AS
from his pocket and placed
1t on the mans desk.
Il think you're going to
like this play" he said.
For the next three hours,
there was not a single inter-
ruption.

Task Group 22.3 stood out
of Hampton Roads in q
fresh southeastern in May,
1914. 1t wasn't much Of a
force: an escort carrier and
five destroyer escorts. Capt.
Daniel Gallery sat in q
swivel chair above the flight
deck on Guadalcanal and
watched his DE's form ahead
and in thanking positions. He
was on a personal mission:
to capture a German U-boat.
1t was not part of his
orders. TG 1913 was q hunt
er-killer group en- route to
the Canary Islands. They lie
about 100 miles off the coast
of Africa at Rio de Orc.
Allied ships Rugged the coast
between the Canaries and
Cabo Yubi. The U-boatS
knew this, and the hunting
had been good. Now TG 1913
was hunting the hunters.
To do it Gallery had six
ships. a score of bombers,
radar, 5-inch guns, depth
charges, hedge hogs and
close to 1000 officers and
men in Guadalcanal, Pills
bury, Pope, Chatelain, Flah-
erty and jerks. Still, Dan
Gallery wasn't satisfied with
the sinking of U-boatS. He
had seen one blown to the
surface and it had wallowed
on top long enough for a
boarding party to close the
sea valves If anyone had
been on the ball.
THE UNITED STATES
NAVY'S official attitude was
that submarines were diff
cult enough to detect, track
and destroy without assum-
ing the additional risk of
trying to capture one. Capt.
Gallery didn't agree. AS he
steamed east-southeaSt, he
ordered each Of the five
DE's to organize and re-
hearse boarding parties.
No one thought much Of
the idea. Some of the ratings
thought that the old man
was battle-happy. Still, day
after day, TG 22.3 paused as
picked men practiced hop
ping into shore patrol boats
and their shippers yelled
from the bridge Away
boarderS!" 1t was ridiculous.
The last time that cry had
been heard was in the War
of 1872. And that was the
last time the United States
had captured an enemy war
ship.

Make You Mad?
: W DR.. PETER J. srElNcRoHN

Dear DIR. Steincrohn: Some
times ] hate my doctor and
sometimes I love him. Now
how can you account for
that?-Mrs. o.
I'D HAVE a much better
chance guessing it was the
butler who committed the
crime in a mystery tale! Not
knowing you or your doctor
/ can only make certain
generahties which may or
may not be the reasons in
your case.
AS a doctor, I've been
hated and loved; often by
the same patients. I think
it's easy to explain. We
doctors are really father
figures. And you know that
children who love their
fathers can hate them at
times Especially when they
are having a session in the
woodShed and receiving
punishment.
There are many reasons
for loving ones doctor. He
brings your husband through
a dangerous attack Of coro-
nary thrombosis; or performs
an emergency operation
which saves your child; or
delivers you of a sweet, new
addition to the family. How
can you hate a man like that?
Well, you may turn on him
months or years later because
he doesn't come cut in an
Swer to q night call. Or, you
think his bill is too large. Or.
for the simple reason that
the magazines on his waiting
room table are months old.
AS in all relationships, love
and hate are close together.

cause he says, mo more

Dear Editor:
 The following eulogy was de livered at funeral services cor ducted by members of the Loy al Order of Moose, Lodge 793. for Carol Clarence Henderson:
 Brothers, ladies, and friends, we have gathered today to pag our final tribute to a departed brother and friend. Brother Carol Clarence Henderson died peacefully in his sleep Janu- ary B at his cabin.
 To all his brothers ard friends he was known as Hap py', and happy he truly was Also, locally he was known az "The Strawberry King He had a little plot perhaps twenty by twenty feet square, plant ed in strawberries, and was very proud of them.
 Also, Happy was always busy improving his little place, ard raised vegetables and potatoes, giving most of them away.
 We will miss Happy, but he has taken his long journe. which we too one day sha.l have to take.
 Happy was born in Baldwin. H., on July IS, 1980. He was a member of a family of ten children, but he did not know the whereabouts of any surviv- ing relatives. He came to Ket- chikan, Alaska, in 1919. Since then he has never left the ter ritory, later becoming the 49th state. Living for 43 years In this great country of the North certainly is proof that he loved this great land of ours. How ever, before coming to Alaska. he had served his country as 8 soldier in the United States army with machinist's rat ing. He enlisted on Sept. l5, 1918, at Webster. South Dakota. and was discharged Aug. l5, 1919, at Fort D. A. Russell. Wyoming, with an honorable discharge.
 It was his wish to be buried in the Palmer cemetery, and that the services be conducted by the Loyal Order of the Moose, Lodge No. 793. Palmer, of which he was a member. He was also member of the Pion- eers of Alaska, Igloo No. 31, and Veterans of World War I, Mat anuska Valley Barracks No. l500, and American Legion Post Is.
 And now, we wish you a happy journey to that distant land which we all will some day have to take, and some day may we meet and grasp you by your scared and work worn hand. Until then, sleep we'll, our brother and friend Amen.
