And the Indonesi- ans once made a bombing raid. A plane dropped two bombs in a: raid on the airport at Samarang, on the north central coast—but they killed seven and wounded 11 Indonesians.

In an accent reek- ing of Flatbush, his first ‘ques- tion was: “How are the Bdooklyn Dod- gers doing?

The owners could, find.,no .trace of their “pet” anywhere until they were cleaning a drain. They found the crocodile with its’ jaws trapped firmly in a wire noose at the mouth of the drain.
