His reserve water supply is his 50,000gallon swimming pool. In case of fire he can hook a pump to a tractor and smother the blaze before it gets started. Chatter. ...

REBEL TROOPS IN SURRENDER Entire Company Reported Deserters To Loyalist Forces — Hendaye, Franco-Spanish From | tier, Aug. 21 — (U.R) —An entire | company of nationalist troops deI sorted to loyalists on the northI eastern Aragon front, government I dispatches said today. Insurgent I forces dug in at the strategic town I of Belchite for a long, drawn out . seige. The insurgent company killed I their officers and marched into ! government trenches waving white flags and handkerchiefs, it was I asserted. • Strong loyalist detachments sui- ' rounded Belchite, in the heart of ■ Gen. Francisco Franco’s eastern ; salient, which was poorly forti- ' fied. while insurgent commanders I rushed reinforcements from the | north to the aid of the beleaguered ■ town. The government declared that I the fall of Belchite was imminent. Capture of the town, it was hoped, would provide the first major victory of the loyalist triple Aragon offensive, started five days ago with the greatest strength the government has massed on any one front during the war. The loyalists already have severed communications between Sar agossa, an important rebel stronghold, and Huesca. and had pushed along the Ebro river to within a i few miles of Saragossa. j The offensive was essential beI cause the nationalists had driven I a wedge into loyalist sections east I of Madrid, threatening to surround j the city and isolate it from the I temporary capital of Valencia and < from Barcelona, its chief source 1 of supplies and reinforcements. In southern Spain the loyalist drive on Granada reached its peak, the government asserted, but admitted that its troops had been forced to retire under rebel pressure "after reaching our main : goal, in order to consolidate our gains and strengthen our advance lines.” The government said its troops gained important positions in the Sierra Navarra mountains and that attacks at some points resulted in the capture of mountain peaks wh-ich dominate important valleys and passes which remain in rebel hands since they took Malaga .

A fourtn caused considerable damage by shrapnel that went through the port side. Naturally, passengers on deck mnd below were frantic. Capt. Yardley promptly ordered everyone below and by hie calmness reassured the frightened 'passengers. It was agreed that his handling of a threatened disaster was masterly.

The bomb that hit the pwt side did much damage. It put holes In the hull about the water line and shattered port holes. My own cabin on the port side was riddled and splintered by shrapnel—wrecked. I live only because I had left by cabin and gone to the tearoom.
