WASTING. AWAY

Plane Carrier and Cruiser ‘At Martinique Resemble . ~- Faded Beauties. ~. By NAT A. BARROWS

.» and The Chicago Daily News: Inc. {CASTRIES, ST. LUCIA, B. W. I, May 21—Like faded beauties quietly watching the outcome of a duel for their favors, the French aircraft carrier Bearn (22,146 tons) and the

cruiser Emile Bertin (5886 tons), roll their barnacle sides to the slap : of the trade winds at Martinique and await the outcome t of great events. Below decks the Bertin is reported to have enough "fuel to take her to Dakar where she could join ‘the axis fleet. She Nat Barrows can put to sea at. short -notice and, in fact, she has been permitted to make several runs into the Caribbean since she raced into Ft. De France June 22, 1840, with the $250,000,000 in gold

bars, now stored at Pt. De Saix in

the hills above ‘the present anchorage. of the two warships.

‘Bearn- Seems in Poor Condition

But the Bearns.is in poer condition from all reports. And so are the 98 planes she had aboard when she found - refuge here four days after the Bertin arrived. They are rotting on the beach. From: a vantage point off the harbor of Ft. De France today 1 saw’ the Bearn at anchor. She is indeed a faded beauty, seen even from a distance. Her war paint is faded and she shows many marks of her long-enforced stay in the French West Indies. One of the six French tankers anchored at Ft De France is tied up alongside to port of*the Bearn. The red hull paint marking her water line is well above the surface; indicating little oil cargo. I saw no sign of “activity on either ship. Two elevator doors pointed skyward from the broad, unobstructed landing deck of the carrier.

Planes Exposed to Sun

The other tankers were all anchored on the Caribbean side .of the Bearn, as if purposely to shield her. J ‘Only one. merchant ship could be

: seen in. the harbor anchorage, the

French liner Sagittaire, which came in -about three weeks ago on the run between Martinique and Casablanca.” = It - is. reliably reported that the

‘Bearn’s planes are now at a stage

beyond all practical service. For many months these were openly exposed to thé sun. Now, it is said, they are under cover—but too late. tein
