Guadalcanal Diary Book-of-the-Monffh RICHARD ILLUSTRATIONS tV I. HAZELTON "Our patrol planes spotted an enemy squadron." UNDAY, AUGUST 23-This afternoon there came disquieting news that a large squadron of Jap ships was on its way to Guadalcanal. Our patrol had spotted Jap cruisers and 150 miles offshore.

Two dim lights, set in a square dark shape, marked an ambulance. And the eerie squeak of the stretchers sliding into place, a sound like that of a fingernail scratched across a blackboard, was a sound I shall never forget.

All day today, rilancs roared out to attack the Jap naval force offshore. The results were encouragtng-'the Japs have been turned back and dispersed, with one of their cruisers and two transports badly damaged.
