Knebel Describes Mount Vesuvius

AIK WAR

Strong fighter opposition and In- ! tense anti-aircraft fire also were reJ ported by the escorted Liberators

ing up to 15.000 feet.
Fortresses attacking Marienburg and the Gydnia area flew without escort. Some met vigorous fighter opposition. but others were unmolested. Reconnaissance photographs taken fires after Saturday’s attack on Bruns-

thousands of feet skyward. Flashes and roars from the crest of the crater just above us sent us runnin;,". Vesuvius was on the loose again. Some 3700 feet below us lay the peaceful Bay of Naples but up where the rocks were flying from this recently gone mad volcano, all hell was breaking looser. Out of curiosity. I went up with First Lieutenant Andrew Frochlkh of Mandan, North Dakota and my peep driver, Private First Class Harold L. Bennett of Valosta, Georgia Up there also out of curiosity were American doctors and nurses. Britis.i sailors and French soldiers, air corps men and engineers, Tommies and Doughboys. The war, for those who could make the trip, was a thing temporarily to he forgotten. Here was history in the making. Here on top of Vesuvius they threw snowballs 1 and gasped at the wonder of nature. j This new outburst, the worst in 2 72 years, has wrought much destrucj tion and caused great dismay. From I the upper heights, at the base of the j cone and about 300 feet from the erupting crest from where red hot lava flowecl yesterday, the smoke and ash looked iiko giant heads of cauliflower being lifted skyward. The billowy clouds, curling and rolling j like the smoke from burning oil, i were beige colored and spurted up- | wards several thousand feet. Flashi es appeared in the smoke and the ! earth shook and trembled.
j Others had been injured by the i falling rocks. In Pompeii, to the j south of Vesuvius, boulders and ; rocks were dropping steadily. ' We j were scared. We were glad we har! i a peep at hand and could make a rapid exit to the lower levels near the observatory.
From here we could look northward and see where the two snake- | like trails of molten lava crept und I i burned their way to San Sebastiano J jal Vesuvio. Several miles befoiej
reaching the town the lava
v,.c parted J
! and one trail went westward until it ’ | came to a halt at the walls of a white ''stone building. The other trail, the I larger of the two, continued north- [ ward and cut in two the mountain
village of San Sebastino.
Below, in the town, we could see the torn down houses and the half mile wide stream of smouldering, still vyarm lava. Varying from 40 to 60 ft>et in heighj, it looked like the
| ring banks home.
in coal mine regions at
i Villagers mingled with military j personnel to view the ruins, in spots sticking out of the smoking mass, were walls of houses. One house which was almost completely destroyed had a few furnishings still visible in the upper rooms, j Two small girls helped their mother I collect what family belongings could j still he salvaged. Through the AlI lied Military Government most of the valuables, along with those of all the | other families of the town, had been 1 removed when the stream threatened j the house. j All along the road back to Naples, i lamilies, who five months ago were j returning to their homes with their I possessions after a Nazi army had j been driven out by the Fifth Army, j were once more moving back witn | their goods. The lava flow had stop- , pcd. It had added yet another date j to those remembered by the villagi ers who live in the shadow of Vesuvius.
