class, took part in a terrific
battle in which gunners aboard
the U. S. Destroyer Hadley shot
down 23 Japanese suicide
planes, and sjived the -ship after

started fires and explosions. A
determined group of the crew

the flames, astsisted by some
» who returned to the destroyer
after they had once jumped
overboard. Another destroyer,
the U. S. Evans, was put out of
action in the battle, which-oc-

were killed, and survivors told
of many feats of heroism, when
men disregarded their own safe-

tacked, and of these, the Hq.d-
