'QUITE A SHOW
Evacuee Says First Jap
Shells Came During Calm
Of Evening Moonlight.
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.
