To them she was the bridge that represented retreat from the hell across the water.

There were hundreds like the Rambury Rose on the lacld bosom of the straits. Boats w ose normal work was the carrying of holiday- makers or the catching of flsh, and

h was "A crew tho

all kinds, there were the rakish little schooner; whose owners man- aged to pick up a living on the edge of the famous mid-channel sands. tn spite of customs oflicers and the official "receivers of wrecks."

As the day wore on, the number dwindled. Not because any of the crews. many merely half-baked sailors. slilrked the job. Those that went under. a prey to enemy bombs and shells, were Dart of the price paid for the extrication of an armv.

Captain Starry ignored the orders bowled at. him from the plerhead. He did not. he said. want to be told how to bring his boat between the Chad buoys and into Rambui-y har- bour by any dirty-nosed. brass-but- toned so-and-so.

Apart from the crew, only two men among the ships passengers wrre not in uniform.

‘ that," Bill lor-

‘Just listen to brook said. " e old bov would cheerfully give his life for the

youngster on the pier. or for any others like him. Yet the old rivalry never dies and I don't suppose it ever will."

Benny Coiiiiers did not reply. T118 135i feW days had not been en- joyable. He was only interested in setting his feet, both of them, on the firm earth of his native land.

A Spitfire roared low overhead, and Benny ducked instinctively.

"Brlili! Wish tiiey wouldn't do it.” he grumbled. "v don't like aero- planes any more."

“Hope we've act a few more like that one. anyway." Lorbrook ans- wersd. "Gosh. look! What a target for divebombers!"

The scene before them was in- deed amazing. The tlny piers and all the approaches were black with people. The officials. doctors. nurses, and OLIICI‘ important personage: were lost in the throng of unofficial helpers. Perhaps never before has there been such a spontaneous, vol- untary response to an emergency

The navy, merchant navy. fisher- men. longshoremen, and amateur seamen had brought the army across the water. and now it was the turn oi’ ordinary folk to do their part. Scarcely a man, woman, or child failed to turn out. or came empty handed. From the humblest. who brought tea in lar e ewcrs and tlie entire contents of heir emerg- ency store clipboards, to those who. in addition to giving nil they had, bought up stocks from the shops to iced and clctlig the troops. all tcok upon themselves the duty of provis- ioning the returning force.

A man who had been waiting anxiously on the pierhcnd smiled with rel cf ivlicn Ilf‘ siiw Bill Lor- brook and Benny Conners in tho stcrn of the Ranibury Rose.

He grasped Bill's hand warmly as Lorbrook twlimbcd up tlie wocclen ladder. "Well, what luck?" he ask- ed. then smiled rucfully as he read the answer in Bill's face.

"Nothing doing." Dorbrook said. "We lost the papers when We all

but. had our hands on them. Sonic- body plpped us at the tape but I doh‘t hink it was Jerry. I'm not clear exactly what did hap en. though I th nk it very likely hnt. friend Mather was the gentleman who bagged the doings. . ."

"If he did he hasnt turned up here with them," Fanston said.

"Funny! Just let me get some of this grime off my hide and I'll tell you all about it. . . . Well, dammitl Look at Bennyi"

Benny Conncrs was every bit as dirty as his friend, even more so, for he was one of those individuals who seem to have the knack of at-

tracting dirt even in the best of Job

circumstances.

To Benny. the inner man was far more important than the o " ." 'ln. and Connors had succeeded in forcing a potli through tlie crowd to a spot where. under thc diiectlon of a grnulne specimen of tho “sea- side iandlrdy.“ a band of wonien were handing out hot tea and rolls.

Suddenly the woman apizrnred to realize that Benny wore no uniform. "What are ycu doing here?" she drnrndcd. “You're not one of the boys."

"Do you think I've been over there for thc benefit of my health?" Couriers asked. hotly.

A French officer came to-the res- cue. assuring the Indy that the little man had. indeed. crossed in the Rnnibury Rose. Learning that noth- ing was to be had in the town. apart from what. was being distrib- uted to the trcops Lorbrook also sought refreshments from Benny's iiosiess. and then suffered Fbnston to lead him from the never-to-be- forgotten scene.

It was while following some troops through the town, however, that Bill witnessed an odd but impress- ive spectacle.

They were passing a small coii- fcctionci-y shop. so small that ob- viously the owners were able to make a living only by exercising the greatest care. Yet. as the weary troops passed the elderly couple who owned it emerged from the shop their arms full of chocolate, sweets. biscuits and bottles oi min- erals which they distributed with-

out thought oi’ payment.

“Scenes lke that," Bill said. make me realize how unselfish peo- ple can be when the occasion de- mand-i."
