...Blue's eagle-eyed destroyers were in the lead, the Los Angeles overhead and flagship Arkansas in the rear. Fanwise the Blue spread itself out protectively up and down the coast. At sunrise 36 hours later, scouting planes made their first con tact with the Black fleet moving shoreward in two sections. The old Arkansas, with the heat 133° in her engine room, vainly chased three hostile cruisers who shipped out of range at 32 knots.

Luxuriating on the sands lay seminaked figures, brown with bathing, supple with youth, ripple-thewed from exercise. Watching the rollers lazily, the loafing ones would watch little figures scooting shoreward at the forefoot of a comber, lying flat in the foam or poised excitingly erect on flying surf boards...
