"I never believed much in the stories of Japanese pilots' suicide dives until this attack, but now I'm convinced,” he declared, as he des bribed how a Nip plunged his plane for their ship. "When it happened," he said, "I was on the ship's bridge and at the intercom trying to call the engine room to order full speed ahead. Just then, the batteries on our boat aliened up with, such a roar that neither the engineer nor -I could hear each other."' "It's a good thing we didn't hear.," ILivermore declared, "because if we liad gotten.full speed ahead the' plummeting plane -would have plung- ed into the bridge where I was.
