THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

U. S. FLAG WITH THE UNION JACK

Convoy Steams Into lceland; Americans Soon Are ‘Part of Things.’

By FRANK SMOTHERS he i Cone th hen bal WER! HEVRIATIE Iceland, A Io in August.—The first American force assigned to Iceland since the Marines landed, in July, has now had its initial glimpse of a land that will become familiar no doubt to a good many more Americans in due course. After a voyagé from a point of | rendezvous off the east coast of the United States, the convoy accompanying the force steamed into harbor one morning several days ago. Soon after dawn, while a chilly wind from the north swept our decks 50 miles at sea, I watched from the bridge of the battleship on which I accompanied the convoy, as planes began taking off the deck of the aircraft carrier with us. One after one they came, circled until their completed their formation, then streaked across a gray horizon that told nothing of the | land beyond. Our formation proceeded. De- | stroyers patrolled ahead, criss-| crossing our bows to get first sight! of any submarine that might be lurking. Other destroyers guarded our flanks. Several Navy scouting |

planes, meantime, catapulted from] cruisers, patrolled the skies around | us, ready to signal back news of any | suspicious visitors.

Activities Not New

Those activities were not new to | us. The destroyer patrol had been | constant, the air patrol frequent, all | the way up. Now, however, we saw a new aerial visitora— long, slim, | British bomber (American made) — slowly circling us, its personne] un- | questionably pleased with what heya saw on sea and in the air. Then we sighted land—dark hills | and plains at first, their darkness] relieved somewhat a little later as | we came closer and as the sun, in- | termittently breaking through the morning mists, showed patches of | green. But it was a subdued green— from moss and grass in the valleys, as we discovered later. It was never from trees. Iceland has its charms! of nature—but it is practically bar- | ren of trees —a lack resulting in| part from the volcanic eruptions of | many centuries that have made this! land rugged in the extreme,

Guard Against Mines

As we proceeded toward harbor, our boatswain—a canny clear-eyed veteran of 39 years in the Navy, tre- | mendously proud of the Navy and Navy men—oversaw the launching | of paravanes to port and starboard. | The paravanes, appearing to a layman not greatly unlike small torpedoes, floated some distance from our sides, with connecting wires that would convoy any floating mines to an instrument and cut them adrift and make them harmless. The August sun was warm enough now so that it was comfortable on deck without a topcoat or sweater— but a good winter weight suit was still in order. Shortly after the paravanes went over, we dropped anchor, American flags now flying within sight of | Union Jacks on certain British warships. We looked to be, and were, very much “a part of things,” as far as Icelandic wartime Gefentes were concerned. Thus did the Navy come to Tceland.
