U> FEATURES - CHAPTER Cebu fell," ^lalne& Cox, "an army aviator arrived-- |ie'd left Cebu that morning. He laid he'd talked to a Catholic priest <Hrho had said burial mass over you ind another sailor, killed in an engagement." "And I was very glad to hear it," laid Kelly. "Because then I knew feat Harris and Reynolds had gotfen decent burial at the American temetery in Cebu before the Japs Arrived. But then I asked, 'Where's fjulkeley?' You see, the last I saw #f him he was tearing around the fther side of that Japanese cruiser, frying to draw its fire away from ine, so I could get in to polish it off. 1 thought they'd probably got him. 2 heard he'd turned up later in Mindanao, but it was just a rumor." 1 "What actually happened was this," said Bulkeley. "They didn't ...yet me, but three destroyers chased me until dawn, when I pulled away into shallow water, and we tied up under a pier to get some sleep--as I think I said. "When night came I went on up %o Iligan, where I intended to get gas and go on up to Cebu to see What had happened to Kelly, although I was pretty sure he hadn't got out alive. But at Iligan I was inet by a radioed order from Wainwright; there were no more torpedoes for the MTB's, so he couldn't let us have any gas. They were needing it all for the planes out to Australia. "So there we were--stuck at Iligan. I went on over to headquarters at Del Monte to report the battle with the cruiser to General Sharp •--certain that the end was before us on the island. We'd be fighting here on Mindanao with rifles to the end. IBut that morning--it was April 13-- General Sharp called me in to say fce'd just got orders from Melbourne . that I was ordered to report to Mac- Arthur immediately on the plane Heaving Del Monte that night. For a while I felt rotten. "Then I figured It another way. If I could get to Australia, I might i>e able to persuade MacArthur to "hring out the rest of the squadron. It looked like it was their only chance. 'I'm going to fry to get out all your officers and key men,' he had said. 'I'm not gofng to let you die in a fox hole with a rifle.' I knew he had believed the MTB's bad a great future in the war. "So I sent word to the rest I would get them flown out If possible, and got aboard the bomber that night. As we left the field, the Japs dhrebombed it and put one motor out, but we got through." "He left me in charge," said Akers, "and presently General Sharp sent me up to Lake Lanao in the middle of Mindanao Island on a peculiar mission. They were afraid the Japs might land seaplanes on it and I was to set up defenses there. I was to teach the army how to run the machine guns." "Cox told me Bulkeley had gone home," said Kelly, "and, thinking I was dead, had made him squadron commander. ,»And I didn't know what to do. There I was--no crew, no boat, no job, while they were busy dismantling the 41 boat, to take it up to Lake Lanao and end the war fighting with the Moros. So 1 decided I'd better get up to Del , Monte and report to Sharp so he could tell Bulkeley I was alive, and send in my report by radio to the States on the scrap with the cruiser and what happened to my boat. "The General was amazed to see me. 'Bulkeley said you'd been killed in action,' he said. He listened to :my report on the battle. 'I'll send you to Kalasungay,' he said, 'near 'the airfield where the planes come in. But I warn you, there's not too much hope of getting out. There's i almost no more gas to refuel the planes at this end, so I doubt that . they'll send any more.' I said I was sure we were getting out--MacArthur had told Bulkeley he would do it if it was humanly possible. "The town was forty-five miles away, and I reported to the army colonel there at noon. He asked me why I was here. 'Waiting transportation to Australia,' I said. " 'No use getting your hopes up,' he said. 'And since I've had no instructions, I assume you're here on a duty status and am going to put you to work.' " 'That's okay,' I said, 'if I don't have to leavO the vicinity.' " 'I can't even guarantee that,' he said. "I'm organizing a carabao pack train to Lake Lanao. They're cutting the trail now. I have another man rounding up fifty carabao and drivers. When he gets them, iou'll be in charge of leading the pack train.* f "I didn't say much. X figure*, ne (and I were to Iw a showdown. I didn't intend to miss a plane being off herding a bunch of milk cows through a jungle, but I thought there was no use being unreasonable now. After all* fifty carabao was a lot to round up. It would take several days. "Oh the night of April 22 my hopes were down. I was fiddling with the radio and cut in on a news broadcast from the States--a short-wave station in San Francisco. It was the navy news release on our fight with the cruiser I "I went to bed sick as the silkyvoiced commentator again repeated his account of our victory, when all out here knew we had only expended ourselves in the hope that it 44 Ten him the end here Is draw lag near.'" might slow down a Japanese victory, and we had failed even in this. "Next morning the army colonel sent for me. He'd had a plane-less aviator hard at work who had collected thirty-nine of the fifty carabao. Sftpn the others would be here, so I was to start work today--a trail-blazing expedition to inspect the jungle path up to Lake Lanao. But, suppose a Diane came while I was away7 I didn't even bring it up; it seemed so hopeless now. I went back to my quarters and had just packed to go when the phone rang. I was to report to General Sharp at the landing field at once, and bring everything I had with me. "It was grim waiting at the airport. The priority list was made up in Melbourne and each man had a number. A plane would not hold more than thirty, they knew, but more than a hundred were waiting there. Because perhaps two, maybe even three, planes might come. Or perhaps someone whose name was called would not show up, and your number might be high enough on the list to claim his seat. So they waited-- all young teclmicians, most of them aviators', for this last chanc* to get out, 60 they could fight again. General Sharp had told me he had telephoned Cox and Akers that they were on tonight's list; why weren't they here? "At 10:30 the list was called-- thirty names, mine and theirs among them, but only I answered present. So they put an army tank major and an air-corps captain in as substitutes, if they failed to arrive. But at 10:35 here they came an the run, so the captain and the major were turned aside. They were to go on the next plane--if there was ,a next. "Just before we got aboard, General Sharp came over to tell me good-by. "He said this was probably the last plane out, and he wantea me to take a message to MacArthur. 'Tell him the end here is drawing near, and if help can't be sent, in a few days Mindanao will fall. Of course, probably he understands this, and maybe nothing can be done.' "Then he talked about us. 'Everybody left here in the islands sho^d realize,' he said, 'that those who are called to Australia are the ones who will be most useful for the work ahead. Those who leave are the men for the job, regardless of rank and years of service. The rest of us,' he said, 'consider ourselves as being expendable, which is something that may come to any soldier. We are ready for it, and I think they will see that we will meet it squarely when it comes.' "Then they called my name, we shook hands, and I climbed aboard. Each of us who were leaving unstrapped our 45's and handed them out through the plane's windows to the fellows who were staying behind. They'd be needing them badly and we wouldn't." "And Peggy?" someone asked. "There were three seaplanes sent out from Australia to Corregidor at the very last," said Kelly, "which, among other people were to bring out the nurses. One of them was shot down off Corregidor, but the other two loaded and got back to Lake Lanao, where they gassed up for the big homeward hop while Sharp held the Japs back from the lake. One of these two got safely away; the plane Peggy was ip cracked up on the take-off. So now we won't ever know. "But as our big ferry-command bomber swung wide out over the field after the take-off, you could see the island and then the path of moonlight glistening over the water, just as we used to watch it glisten from the tunnel entrance at Corregidor. And suddenly 1 remembered the last thing she said to me--her voice was just as clear as if it had been two seconds ago, instead of many weeks, over that signal-corps telephone in the army hut on Bataan, after I had told her this was good-by. 'Well,' she said, 'it's been awfully nice, hasn't it?' And her voice had sounded clear and brave, but seemed to come from far away." {THE END) History Proves Gallantry Of the Russian Soldier The Russian soldier is traditionally one of the world's best, and the fighting qualities he is showing today are what one should expect from him in view of his past record. One of the greatest achievements of the Russian soldier occurred in 1242 when a Russian army under King Alexander Nevsky decisively defeated a German offensive against Russia. The Soviet government, on July 29,1942, recognized this achievement by creating the Alexander Nevsky decoration made of silver for the higl est display of bravery. Berlin had been stormed by the Russians in the 18th century. On October 9, 1700, a Russian army entered Berlin after King Frederick the Great was defeated at Kunersdorf. The keys to the city were turned over to the Russian commander and they have been kept up to the present time in the Kazan cathedral at Leningrad. The Russians under General 9uvorov were the first to defeat Napoleon's army, as early as 1799, at Trebia and Novi in Italy. Suvorov led more battles than probably any other man in history and reputedly was never defeated.
