I ne- SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL h Warren Melcum (Continued from Page One) flower, Calif.) went back into the black bomb bay and with nothing between him and the seas but the narrow catwalk loosed the bombs with a screwdriver. Battered by Storm “As we turned away we found ourselves in the worst kind of Weather possible. We dodged about through giant thunderheads and through fronts that buffeted our ship like a feather in a wind tunnel. “We flew until dawn on our meager instruments. The engineer (S/Sgt. James J. Fitzpatrick, Jr., of Pittsburgh, Pa.) worked the whole time on the electrical sys- tem. And when the morning sun broke through the clouds We still were over water. We had dodged about so much that the navigator (Second Lieut. Paul Sohen of New York City) course. We were lost. The weather was still bad and we flew into another front, mak- ing it impossible to fix our posi- tion by the sun. But the engineer had done a marvelous job. After working many hours he finally got the electrical system work- ing again and we radioed to friendly bases to find our posi- tion. “Finally we received an answer. We learned that we had missed our home base by miles, had flown past it in the heavy weather. By that time We were about out of gas. We were half way between friendly bases and our own home base, so we decided to try for home. “Before the last few gallons of gas were used up we knew we had to land in the water and hope for rescue. “I was in the front of the ship with Lieut. Case and Sgt. Fitz- gerald and Lieut. Cohen. The rest of the men went back to the waist and fixed themselves se- curely, using chutes and flak suits land anything else for cushion against the shock to come. Into the Sea “When we finally hit the water after what seemed to me to be an age of skimming along the tops of the waves, the plane prac- tically dived under the water. The whole ship went under, slowing down with a mighty jolt, and then it came up to the surface again. “Sgt. Fitzgerald did a marvel- ous job. The co-pilot and I got out through the side windows in Ithe cockpit. The engineer, Fitz- gerald doesn’t have the slightest idea how he escaped. He can‘t re- member anything but suddenly finding himself bobbing about in the water. He immediately swam to the plane and pulled out one of the life rafts. “Cohen had escaped through the bomb bay and came up under the wing. He swam under water the length of the wing before com- ing up. He had a. small gash on the top of his head. The engineer inflated the raft and paddled ar- ound to pick us up. When he got to Case, who was hanging on the wing close to me he discovered that the co-pilot had a broken leg and he had to work gently to drag him into the small craft. “At 10:30 in the morning some of us were in the raft and the rest—all but three of whom we never saw after the landingwwere hanging on the still floating wing. A friendly destroyer, cruising in the vicinity came close by only a few minutes after we landed. Lauds Navy Men “They "sent a small boat to pick us up. Those navy guys really were wonderful. They handled the injured co-pilot like a baby. The radio operator (Sgt. Samuel A. Klock of Oil City, Pa.) had a painfully dislocated hip. “The rest of us were all right, except for bruises and minor cuts. There was a. doctor aboard the destroyer who went to work on the injured men the minute we were on the ship. Then we pulled along side another destroyer and her doctor came to aid. “Later in the day We were transferred to another destroyer on its way to an advanced base and from there those of us who were well enough including an- other gunner (Sgt. Warren R. Melcum, of Shelton) were return- ed to our home base." Lieut. Rauch, known among his friends in the squadron as one of the most eager young pilots in the outfit, was asked if he needed a rest after his harrowing exper- ience. He turned down the offer. _ u. 5.
