Worker Describes How Midway Beat Off Jap Atfackers Two Raiders Were Sent Scurrying by Shore Batteries, He Says By the Aseociated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan, 22— Moonlight was bright at Midway Island when Japanese shells sud- denly started bursting over the Lonely American outpost in the mid- M ! the shots were wild, but “one of the boys died right around the corner.” Sailors and marines sent two Nip- ponese naval raiders scurrying back out to sea, one badly battered. This was the eyewitness story told 1ast night by Charles H. Kelly of Nampa, Idaho. He arrived with more than a hundred other civillan de- fense workers from the war zone of the Pacific—Wake, Johnson, Guam, Palmyra and Hawaii. Those from Wake left before the war started. “Quite a show” was the way Mr. Kelly, 29, a plumber’s helper, described the !urioux night exchange of shellfire between shore batteries and the Japanese ships. The attack came shortly after 8 p.m., December 7. the evening of the day of the surprise raid on Pearl Harbor, Explosions Interrupted Work. “I was working at a bench in the plumbing shop,” Mr. Kelly recalled. “The night was nice and quiet and there was a big full moon. Then I heard a couple of sharp explosions. I thought our own guns were firing night practice rounds.” The workers, first group to arrive here from the scattered islands which formed American stepping stones across the ocean, milled around a Red Cross girl who was handing out coffee, “Pretty soon the shells started to whistle overhead,” Mr. Kelly re- sumed, “and the other fellows and myself ran out into a clearing. We saw flashes out on the water every few seconds, but the Japanese were too far off to see. “Most of the incoming shots seemed to be wild, way over our heads. We kept out in the clearing away from the buildings. The only fellow who got it was one of the boys who stayed around the buildings too long. He died right around the corner from where I was working.” Japs Take Time Out. ‘Then the shore guns found the range, Mr. Kelly said with a grin, and the Japanese took time out. “After the first 20 minutes or so our boys seemed to find the range for there was no more shelling for about an hour,” he explained, “That first bunch of shells was the worst, though. We weren't bothered much after midnight and by daybreak all was quiet again. That's all there was to it—a lot of fireworks and | noise.” Dembrowski brothers from s word while Bernard, 34, caught his breath and took another gulp of steaming coffee. “After we started firing back I saw a tracer bullet strike what looked like & ship way out, with its lights off,” Roman sald. = “There was a bright flash like floodlights being turned on for a minute, then an explosion. The ship didn't fire for a long time after ghat.” 10 Die in Spain in Crash Of British Plane B7 the Associated Press. ALGECIRAS, Spain, Jan. 22—A British four-motored plane carrying passengers and mail between Lon- don and Cairo crashed yesterday near Algeciras shortly after taking off from Gibraltar, killing the 10 occupants Spanish authorities said the plane exploded when it struck the ground.
