It is further stated that the | . beaeches of Tortola and other adjacent . islands have been covered with about ' 400, and fishing smacks are cruising the waters around those islands as the ~ sub-chasers once cruised for subs.

It was at thig#point that the benedic- tion of God was implored, while the men very reverently stood around with bo ved heads.
