Robert C. Miller, who was in the first wave of troops ashore on Guadalcanal, has arrived in-Eng-land to join the United Press staff to cover the western front invasion.

By ROBERT C. MILLER United Press War Correspondent ABOARD A U 8. TROOP TRANSPORT.—Your debut into this ‘sea war comes suddenly here in the icy North Atlantic, signalled only

by an exploding torpedo in a ship's |

entrails and an underwater eruption of depth charges. No artillery barrage prefaces attack in this battle and every hour is zero hour. In one swift moment your very existence changes. The smug, detached feeling generated by warmth and tobacco in the ship's lounge is dissolved by the pattern of depth charges. For on this freezing night

The U-boai captains know that every man destroyed in these waters saves hundreds of German lives.

They, too, are listening—listening! for the sound of your propellers and trying to place the thunder of the depth charges. | Out on the bridge there is nothing but darkness and the slap of the waves against the hull—that and a cold that seeps into your pores and flows down your neck.

That means the sub has moved in closer —perhaps for the kill.

Like a Chess Game

This kind of war’ is like a chess game, played without anger, coolly and carefully. If vou win you live; if you lose you die and somebody has to lose so somebody else can win. There's no perceptible change aboard this ship. The old man moves back and forth across the bridge. It's an old story to him.
