San Francisco, Jan. 22. OP) Moonlight was bright over Mid way island when Japanese shells suddenly started bursting over the lonely American outpost in the mid-Pacific. Most of the shots were wild but "one of the boys died right around the corner." Sailors and marines, "right on their toes," sent two Nip ponese naval raiders scurrying back out to sea, one of them badly battered. This was the eyewitness story told by Charles H. Kelly, of Nompa. Idaho, when he arrived here with more than a hundred other civilian defense wi.rkers on ships bearing more evacuees from the war zone of the Pa cific Wake, Johnson, Guam Palmyra, and Hawaii. Attack at 8 P. M. "Quite a show" was the way Kelly, 29, a plumber's helper, described the furious night ex change of shellfire between shore batteries and the Jap anese ships. The attack can shortly after 8 p. m., Dec. 7, only a few hours after the sur prise raid on Pearl Harbor. "I was working at a bench In the plumbing shop," Kelly recalled, "the night was nice and quiet and there was a big lull moon. Then I heard a couple of sharp explosions. I thought our own guns were fir ing night practice rounds.'' The rest of the workers, firsi refugee group to arrive here from the scattered Islands which formed American step ping stones across the ocean, nodded ai they milled around a Red Cross girl who was hand ing out coffee under the arc lights of the long shed-like piers. "Pretty soon the shells start ed to whistle overhead," Kelly resumed, "and the other fellowr and myself ran out into a clear ing. We saw (lashes out on the water every few seconds, but the Japanese were too far otl to see. "Most of the Incoming shots seema to De wild, way over our neaos. we kept out In the clear ing away from the buildings. The only fellow who got it was one of the boys who stayed around the buildings too long. He died right around the .-orner from where I was working.-' Japs Take Tim Out Then the shore guns found the range. Kelly said with a reminiscent grin, and the Jap anese took time out. "After the first 20 minutes or so, our boys seemed to find the range for there was no more shelling for about an hour," h explained. "The first bunch of shells was the worst, though. We weren't bothered much after nildnieht and by daybreak al. was quiet again. That's all there was to It a lot of fire works and noise." Wake island men in the group had left tho island before the outbreak of the war and thus escaped the fate of mar.y of their fellow workers, now held as Japanese prisoners. One of these prisoners, Mrs. C. A. Barninger said, is her hus band, a marine corps lieutenant who was on Woke. She herseli witnessed the Pearl Harbo bombing. She had said good bye to her husband when he left Honolulu for Wake In Oc tober. Her companion, also In Ha wail during the Japanese attack, was Miss Dorothy Ramspeck daughter of Congressman Rob ert Hnmspcck, of Atlanta, Ca.
