Blackout Hides
Honolulu
By Frank Tremalne
Honolulu, May 31 (U.R) I (lew in
an air raid over Honolulu last night
and saw a blackout hide the "Gib
raltar of the Pacific."
From an army bomber roaring
in (rom the ocean, the Hawaiian
islands looked like indistinct, dark
blobs lying In the Inky blue Paci
fic. As the bombers approached Hono
lulu we could see the street lights
blink once and then go out. Al
most in unison the rest of the lights
in Honolulu disappeared. Every is
land in the group was blacked out
for 10 minutes.
Except for the indistinct coast
line where the breakers sometimes
picked up a faint light In their foam,
I could not pick out a single land
mark. '
Our bomber dove on the city and
dropped (lares. Instantly dozens of
searchlights leaped up at us. The
bomber lurched madly as one of the
lights caught us and we twisted out
of it, but the light picked us up
again.
We circled the city several times,
dodging the searchlight beams, and
flew back out to sea as the black
out ended.
Army observers today reported
the blackout was a complete suc
cess. Even the smallest villages
in outlying islands cooperated In
the test.

An entire air division of about
7000 men, including some parachut
ists. About 1500 parachutists reported
by Churchill to have landed early
Tuesday wearing the uniforms of
New Zealand troops.
About 3000 dropped near Suda
Bay at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. British
authorities said, however, that the
3000 near Suda Bay may have been
part of the air division of 7000, thus
making a total or 8500 men.
Reinforcements, however, were be
lieved still to be en route from
Greece to Crete by air In addition
to whatever troops may be landed
by sea.
