...Every man knows that ultimately he may lose everything, or, again, may win everything. The chase under water continues for an hour. The aircraft carrier zigzags back and forth. It knows a submarine is near. ... I see destroyers go by before...
...aircraft carrier. Upon the carrier the Germans dropped one 1,100-lb. German air torpedo. Two 550-pounders hit a battleship on the prow and amidships. The carrier was "destroyed" (they did not say "sunk"), the battleship "crippled." On another raid next day they flew to the Isle of May at the mouth of the Firth of Forth. There they struck the bow of a British cruiser (Washington Treaty 10,000-ton type) with a 550-lb. bomb. On both occasions, all Nazis got home safely. All this happened, said the Nazis, so help them Wotan...
...squadron of British warboats which were escorting home a disabled British submarine. The Nazis dropped bombs, but hit nothing. British high-angle guns and planes from a carrier shot down one bomber, injured another, forced a third to alight so that its crew was captured. The Isle of May story, said the Admiralty, was "another version of the North Sea lie" and probably referred to the fact that a Nazi bomber had plunked that day at a British destroyer but missed, done no damage...
...prevail over battleships, planes need not sink them. In fact, in a battle line at sea, a sunk ship is less troublesome than a disabled one, which must be escorted home. To disable a battleship, an air bomber need not score direct hits. Bombs landing beside a hull may do more damage, especially to steering mechanism, than direct hits on an armored deck. Major Al Williams, U. S. A., a vociferous champion of the airplane over the battleship, who believes the German Air Force (which he inspected intimately last year) can knock out the British Navy, says: "A pure...
Seven inches long, first cousin to the earthworm but with livelier ambitions, Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the commonest parasites found in the intestines of man. The worms, which usually plague children more than adults, enter the body in infected vegetables, may cause diarrhea, colic, convulsions. Standard anthelmintic (worm-killer) for ascarids is bitter oil of chenopodium (wormseed oil), usually given in capsule form. Last week in Science, Chemists Julius Berger and Conrado Frederico Asenjo of the University of Wisconsin stood up for a primitive worm-killer which is sweeter, cheaper, and just as powerful: fresh pineapple juice...
