Jewell of-the Royal Navy; was related here when the braft returned to a. home base. It: was doe of the most thrilling undersea adventures of the war so far. The saga beganj when the youth- ful submarine cotnmander, on his first -operational command, jwas -entrusted with these vital tasks: I To make an important recon naissance of the Algerian coast to prepare for the opening of the V- North African campaign. 2.

Henri Giraud, Governor General of French North off the I French Vichy coast, take; him ta the -open Mediterranean' and then transfer him to a flying boat a matter of history no that the three tasks were carried rtut with clock-work thus contributing greatly to toe success of the offensive. Three days after the submarine had completed its reconnaissance patrol Lieut.

Jewell was summonf ed to a secluded rendezvous wherf ha met 'the American officers, headed by Major Gen. Mark Wayne Clark and escorted! by three British commando captains, "I was told, of the. plan to land them by submarine at a lonely spot on the Algerian Lieut-Jewell recalled. "Gen. Clark asked ma if I thought it was possible and he seemed a little doubtful, "I assured him, however, that it was possible provided the shore party was as reliable as he bei lieved they were.

The boat came alongside and we took the party aboard Gen. Giraud, his son, and three officers, There was an oily swell, but the party came aboard without diffl culty and very silently. Then the two men who had rowed out went noiselessly back inshore. "Gen. Giraud was almost ex hausted.

His uniform was travel-stained, but was an impressive figure and we could not help being conscious of the fact we. were engaged upon a high adventure.

THI TUNISIAN RONT(De- layed) Th withdrawal of L4 our vast American forces from the Sbeitla Valley, back through Kas-serine Pass, was a majestic thing in a way. It started before dawn on morning and continued without a break for 24 hours, It had no earmarks of a retreat, whatever, it was carried out so calmly and methodically. It differed in no way, except size, from the normal daily convoys of troops and supplies. I left Sbeitla in the middle of it Vehicles were so well spaced it was not difficult to pass them on the wide gravel road.

And, since I was not required to keep line, I could go forward and back to get a good view of the entire movement 'i Our. 'planes were in the air almost constantly that day. 1 So far as I have heard, the Germans did not do a single road-. strafing job on our withdrawing columns. They missed a magnin cent opportunity.

Why they didn't try is still a mystery to me, If you had been an Arab, standing beside the road, our great brown vehicles would have rum bled past you one about every 30 seconds for 24 hours. First before daylight came the kit then trucks and engineers to1 prepare things ahead. Then came rolling guns and some Infantry to et up protection along she roads. Then the great vast bulk of long supply trains, field hospitals, command posts, ammunition wagons, intsn try, artillery and finally when night came again the tanks start ed and moved on until the next dawn. The whole thing was complete ly motorized.

Nobody was walking. -1 It was hard to realize, when you were part of it that this was a retreatthat American forces in large numbers were retreating in foreign battl one of the few tunes in our history. 1 We couldn't help feel a flight sens of humiliation. Yet, while it was happening, that humiliation was. somewhat overcome; by VjX pride in the orderliness I and r3-complishment It simply could not have been done better.

Military police patrolled the road with jeeps and motorcycles to see that there was no passing, no traffic Jams, no loitering. Not many of our American trucks broke down, and those that did were immediately taken in tow. dents. There were almost no accf. The withdrawal from Feriana and Thelepte airdrome was separate, and smaller than ours.

Ammunition dumps were set off, and all gasoline that could not be moved was set ablaze, 'Planes that took off that morning on dawn misstons did not return to the field, but landed elsewhere. All 'planes that could hot get off the ground, because minor damage or needed repair, were burned. There never was anything built above ground at Thelepte, because the field had to take too much WO and one The Troop OBJECTIVE 7- i bombing. Everythi ground offices, sleeping quarters, and the rest Nothing showed above ground, except the themselves and th little kneehigh mounds that were dugout roofs.

One officer, just as he left tacked on his dugout door a big newspaper map of the latest Rus sian line, so the Germans could see it when they came. There were French civilian refugees on our road, but not enough to hinder traffic, i Most of them walked, carrying brown suit cases and bundles. I noticed they did not carry much, so they ap parently had faith in our coming back. There were few Arabs among them. The Arabs axe permanent They get along, whoever comes to take charge of their country.

French artillery: and i infantry also ware withdrawing. They did hinder traffic, after we were safely back atkasserine Pass and the road grew narrow and poor, Across the -soft sand French horses and horsedrawri ammunition carts by thousands lined the roads. We well knew the French were the best fighters in the world. But this delaying stream of high wheeled carts, toiling along so last-century-like, seemed symbolic of France's whole disaster, The big fine French hospital just outside Kasserine was evacuated too, and the I French super visor gave away everything he had to American soldiers. I chatted I with -one soldiers- Sergeant Donald Schiavone, Brooklyn who had just been given an alarm clock, silver letter opener, a basket of eggs, three dozen olives, a bottle of peach brandy.

A truckful of soldiers passed as we were talking. Seeing the bottle, they began Veiling at Schiavone, who apparently had no hoarder's blood in his veins. He ran after the truck and gave his bottle to the other! soldiers. That little! everyday episode is an example of how unflustered. how unretraatlike, our retreat was.
