On the night of the battle the
Japanese were attempting to rein
force their besieged garrison on
Guadalcanal. The American task
force consisted of five cruisers,
among them the New Orleans,
Riggs said.
Both Battled to End
"Each side threw in everything
and was pretty badly shot up. The
Japs had two batleships, several
cruisers and some destroyers. We
headed for Savo and picked up the
Jap force just off Savo at about
11:30 at night.
“Within three minutes after we
opened fire the cruiser Minneap
olis was hit and aflame. Twenty-
seconds later we were hit in the
forward magazine and 164 feet of
our bow blew off. Two of our three
turrets were wiped out.
“The bridge could not" be reach

and pulled out of the line in an
attempt to save the ship. The

“That’s really a great editorial you just read
to us, Judge. Where did you say it appeared?”
“In 'The Stars and Stripes’...the news
paper of the U.S. Armed Forces in Europe.
Kind of gives us folks back home something
to think about, doesn’t it, Bill?”
“ It certainly does, Judge. Particularly the
last paragraph. Would you mind reading
that again?”
"Glad to, Bill. It says, * We can remember

whiskey made quick fortunes for bootleggers,
crooked politicians and dishonest police offi

"Out of fairness to our boys over there

a wish?”
