...watch a parade of school children marching in a pageant to celebrate the 133rd year of Honduran independence from Spain. While the children, black and white, with happy faces and stiff white clothes, filed up the sunny street, a whirling havoc of wind was winding up over the southeastern horizon at a deliberate gait of 35 m. p. h. Then the wind increased in velocity, contorted, smashed into Belize at 2:30 p. m. with the vindictive shriek and speed of a racing plane...

The cruisers, destroyers and big submarines V-1 and V-2 (which had saluted by diving when abreast of the reviewing ship) all sped to the southeastern horizon, the dreadnaughts turning eastward into battle line, to prepare for a mock engagement between the Fleet's light forces and its "backbone." Meantime, having sounded their little salute guns, the Saratoga and Lexington turned westward, into the wind. The Salt Lake City turned with them so that she ran between. On the 2½-acre plateau decks of the two huge mother ships waited 150 airplanes, with all motors...
