By MJTH KING MALIN "I was down on sta tion in the dynamo flat below when tha shelling begun. We knew we were going Into a fight. At first the main control reported that the enemy was 80 mile off. then 20 miles nnd then that they wcro coming in." That was about 1 1 o'clock, according to Joe Kogcrs, of the engineering unit of the USS Lexington, sunk In the Coral gea. Rogers Is here on furlough visit ing his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jos eph llogera of Mulin, and his sis ter, Mr. Virgil Morrow of Mer rill. "There were six men on my position and It was our Job to help furnish power tor tho hlp. With tho first three hit on the portside, tha ship seemed to lift right up In (he water and then listed maybo seven degrees, but In 10 minutes she was on an even keel again. "We steamed away at about 20 or 23 knot an hour and seemed to bo doing pretty good. Then oftcr about three hoiy we heard several explosions. That was about 2 o'clock I think, but that may be an hour or so off for wo didn't look at our watches. Then the lights went out. Short ly after, tho blowers went out too, and It began to ge( . rcajly hot. "When you are on (he equa tor (he temperature I usually around 120 to 130 degrees, but with the blowers gone she went up to 150 or 160. You get used (o heat like that and don't mind It. Some ship got lot hotter than that. Stayed Down "We had flashlights so we stayed down until the hatch was opened from above. It ha to be opened from the outside and anyway steam pipes close to the opening made it so hot we couldn't have opened it from our side. There wasn't any hysteria. Everyone was alert and knew there wbi irAiiht Uttt riC get panicky. We are always doing exciting things on board ship. "I never did hear the order to abandon ship. We had our lifo Jackets on and when we went topside there was a lot of black smoke rolling around but no flames yet. Somebody broke out a lot of ice cream and I stopped to cat some. Mine was vanilla. In a few minutes I went down the line into a boat and never was In the water at all. We were taken aboard a destroyer and stayed about a mile away from the burning Lexington. Nothing Saved "Of course none of us saved anything at all. Everyone In my division was saved. I never saw a bit of the actual battle. Most of the fellows killed were gunners. VWe were about 28 day re turning to port, end I report back at 8 a. m., June 27. The Lex waa the first boat I was as signed to and I don't know what my next station will be."
