About 11 p.m., when the fog cleared and the stars came out, Frank Aresta, a policeman (by day, a grocer) on dimout duty, saw a flash followed by low, rolling thunder, then another and another. Said he to Carpenter James Thomas: "Storm, hell-that's shootin'." He telephoned the Coast Guard station. Soon a plane roared...

A huntin', shootin', fishin' county gentleman, he is not unlike Cartoonist David Low's ultra-ultra-conservative Colonel Blimp.
