Bradman of the Marines ordered the patrols to shoot all stray dogs on sight (fear of rabies) and anyone caught looting. The crack of a sentry's rifle tumbled one man like a jackrabbit; in his pockets were seven $1,000 bills, dug from the shell of one of Ma nagua's banks. Four other persons, thirst-crazed, were...
