Story of a Night

a Night Raid

Such People As These

Live In England

The night was dark except when the moon came out from the clouds and shed a silvery sheen on the tin helmets of the men standing on the mass of rubble. Sometimes the smashed bricks, broken mor- tar and splinters.were caught in a pool of light,

The men were bent almost double to their tasks. They were picking up the broken bits of what had once been a house, dropping them into as- kets. They were working with their hands. You can't use picks and shovels when there are people trapped under- -neath. Occasionally they used

tiny saws that looked as if they had come out of a toy shop. With them they would saw through a piece of joist or a beam. Every now and then a man would straighten up, pick up a basket and carry it away, bringing it back empty.

The raiders droned over- head, and now the search- lights had a misty quality as they swept the sky. The guns barked and rumbled. The shells, as they burst in the sky, made new stars to re- placed the ones the clouds hid. The "plonk" of the shrapnel

The raiders droned over- head. The bombs screamed" down. Farther away now.

So hours words were spolten. It was as though words had no place in this world of screaming bombs, whistling shrapnel and rumbling guns. The throb- bing engines of the raiders added their sound to that universe of noise.

By Marjorie Nelson

The raiders pussed.

A mobile canteen drove up. Two drawn and white-faced women handed tea to the working men.

The raiders droned over- head. The guns barked. Bombs again.

An Air Raid Warden loomed up out of the darkness. "How many" he asked. "Three." came briefly from under a tin hat..

The raiders passed,

The minutes dragged on. The baskets mode their inter-

-screech of bombs flying-minable journeys-back-and-

through the air. The little crowd around the pile of rubble flung themselves on their faces-all but the men at the top. They did not raise their bent backs. The bombs screamed by. As thunderous explosion followed thunder- ous explosion, those on the rubble heap shook in a world where nothing was still, and their heads were filled with the roar of noise that filled the air.

The raiders passed. All round the mound, the deeper shadows become human be ings again as they slowly pulled themselves to their feet. The men at the top were still carefully picking up their scraps of building and drop- ping them into baskets. -

The ambulance girls leaned

forth. Suddenly one could see it was a shaft they were digging. Now it seemed big enough for a man to go down, The men stopped work. One 721/201 climbed slowly down, carefully pulling, his body this way and that to avoid dis- lodging the surrounding de bris and to avoid the ragged ends of joints and beams, Then he was at the bottom: iu the rubble.

་

He put his mouth against a crack. His voice came strange- ly up the shaft. "Are you there, mate?" We all stood at the top listening. We saw him put his ear to the crack

He climbed awkwardly

to the top again. We waited. "I can hear them' faintly," he said. Without a word they returned to work.

·Pitiful little personal things appeared. A mug with "A Present from Brighton" writ- ten on it. A torn shred of a rayon undervest, a mún's pipe, a woman's handbag with a worn puff and a smudgy box of rouge. The Warden put them meticulously in a corner. Over the river bombs fell.

The raiders passed.

A man appeared amongst us. lie was very small, in a shabby visit. His face was tired and, grey. and i

few thin wisps of hair spread over the bald top of his head. He held a grimy cap in his hands.

"I've just come home," he said, almost apologetically, "working the Dight shift."

#

It was though he had not spoken, for what was there to reply? He stood there silent, a pathetic droop to his tired shoulders, biind misery in his eyes, his fingers

the twisting

around and cap arouri, Thie rubble before him was what had been his home.

"Mother will be in there," he said, "and the two lads." Ille turn ed his head sideways to look up the faces of the men digging,

"Hope 90, Thes

So he stood, twisting and twisting the cap. He didn't say any more,

We were all looking down to the bottom of the shaft now. There clic not seem anything but rubble and a curious yellow wood. Slow- ly it turned into woman's arm. As they cleared the network of bits of beets, boards and brick, you see she was lying face down, and underneath were two smaler bodies. They were all three crush- ext und pressed into the Faw materiat of the house.

Slowly they brought them up with ropes itid fald them cifthe- steel stretchers. "Must have flong herself over the boys to protect them," said the Warden.

The little 7312 stood looking down at her. The black hair was matted with brick rubble and her face was smeared with a red brick -powder.

""You didn't ought to have done it, Mother," he said; "you didn't We all aught to have done it." stood silent, not knowing what he meant. The teara rolled down the creases on his face onto the twisted cap. So we stood there, the be- grimed figures of the rescue work- ers swaying with exluustion. The "AIL Clear" sounded and we noticed the dawn was bronking.

People started to come on to the streets from the shelters. A wo-

carne up and took the Httle man by the arm. "Come on, Jim, and have a cup of hot lea."

The stretchers were lifted into the ambulance. We all walked slowly down the rond.

Such people as these live in England,
