Although their bomber caught fire over Cologne when a shell splinter hit a flare and explosions blew a 10ft hole in the fuselagé the crew, stayed to bomb their target—a railway goods yard- and struggled home against an 80-mile-an-hour gale.

"The bomb-aimer came up through the well, his face streaming with what looked like blood," said the pilot. "Flames were coming through the door beneath the petrol tank, so I shouted to the crew to put them out. Nobody heard me. They were all there before I shouted.
"Later, I saw the wireless opera- tor eeming through the door with femes lleking his flying suit. He fire himself. The bomb- aimer bent the Games out with his hands and then he disappeared down the fuselage again.

'WORKERS SAVING BRITAIN"
--Mr Stimson
MR HENRY L. STIMSON, United States Secretary of War, paid a striking tribute to British workers recently.
"Under the leadership of Bevin and Morrison," he declar- ed, "British workers to-day are producing as men never pro- duced before.
"By their labour they are turning their island home into unconquerable citadel of

TORPEDO-BOATS
WITHIN a few weeks
of being on board one of our largest battleships I found myself at sea in a motor torpedo-boat, which is the smallest of our men- of-war.
She was 70 feet long, carried two torpedo tubes, some depth charges, and
an anti-aircraft arma- ment.
The complement consisted of two officers and eight ratings. The battleship carried 1,600, and it was interesting to reflect that by a combina- tion of circumstances, it might be possible for one of these 70-foot hornets to disable and even sink a 35,000-ton battleship.

In outline, these boats resemble a flat-iron, and economy in space, which is of course, a feature of all

"But the danger for months has been approach'ng, and to-day it may even be imminent."
Mr Stimson was speaking at the annual convention of the American Federation of Labour.

The captain and coxswain stand on a thick soft rubber pad which absorbs some of the shock us the boat strikes euch successive sea. The rest of the crow, wherever they hap pen to be, just keep their knees bent and hold on to whatever is handy; there must be moments when they won- der whether the next jolt won't knock their backbones through the tops of their heads.
I found myself on board one of these craft late one after noon, one of several moored alongside a jetty, and the crews were sitting about the decks basking in the sun. Some lay out-stretched with their gas-masks for pillows, asleep.
But even in this hour of re- laxation one or two of the. gunners were fiddling with the mechanism of their guns with a brush and a tin of oil. One man was putting a touch of paint on one of the torpedo tubes where a wire had chafed it. While he worked he sang softly to himself.
Somebody else put his head and shoulders out of the for- ward hutch and began hand-

After some hours the sound of the engines dropped abruptly to a soft purring note. The night was very calm. A while later, the na- vigator emerged from the con- ning tower door. He glanced at the dimly-lit binnacle, mur- mured something and pointed through the darkness. The boat reduced speed till she barely carried steerage way. The reflections of the stars swayed and danced in the broad wave that curved back from our bows.
I could see it then, a dark object, fine on the port bow. "That's it," said the captain. The outline of a buoy loomed up and slid past us. "That's two miles from the enemy coust," said the navigator. In the comparative stillness the sound of aircraft passing overhead was plainly audible..

"Woomp!" said the British bombs. For two hours they continued to say the same. thing with splendid monotony. "Woomp!".
Woomp! Woomp'.. The searchlights swayed like the fiery girders of some titanic structure about to crash into ruin. Flaming onlons 'hung. like dying suns amid the lesser constellations of star shell, and sank slowly to ex- tinction. Then the R.A.F. went home and darkness fell upon the conat except where fires glowed dully.
Dawn found us back in har- bour. A dockhand caught the heaying line flung by our gun- ner. "Where've you been, mato?" he asked.
