Casar Man Tells Of His
I Experiences In The Land
! Of Clashing Spaniards
...- 1 ■
(Special to Daily Star)
(JASAR, Nov. 10.—Dock Turner, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jason Turner. U. S. Marine, who has just returned to his
! ship after a furlough spent with his parents tells an inter
| esting story of his experiences in Spanish waters during the
i fighting there.
“When we left Norfolk on the j
119th of July,” say* Mr. Turner no j
one expected that we'd be seeing!
history made. That’s what happen- j
| ed to us from that time on. On the ;
22nd of July when we received or
ders to proceed to Gibraltar to the
time that we tied up alongside in
Boston, it’s been just one strange
occurrence after another.
“Shortly after our arrival in Oi
i braltar we started out in earnest
I to do our work, evacuating refugees.
It was at Motril, on the eastern coast
of Spain that we saw our first in
dications of wartime conditions. It
gave us quite a thrill to see that
Spanish destroyer cruise around us
at five hundred yards with her
machine guns trained on us and
her crew at general quarters. She
was trying to protect herself from
hostile aviators, or so we guessed,
for she knew, or thought she did,
that they would not dare to bomb
her if in so doing they endangered
a foreign man of war.
“After taking on some refugees
which we disembarked at Mar
seilles we headed back down the
coast once more into Malaga. There
we picked up an American refugee
who had been Jailed ‘on suspicion’ of
rebel sentiments. Again we had a
taste of the war for we saw a loyal
destroyer chased into port with a
rebel cruiser hot on her trail. We
were impressed by the lack of pre
paredness of the cruisers and bat
tleships in Malaga on that occa
sion. Had the same thing happened
in one of our harbors we’d have had
the rebel cruiser sunk before she
could have chased one of our de
stroyers all the way into the har
bor.
Bambini: Planes
Palma gave us our next taste of
the war. There were saw the bomb
ing planes fly over from Minorca,
the nearby island, drop their futile
bombs twice dally at twelve and
five while the noncombatant pop
ulation stood by defenseless. For
tunately the bombs were small, prob
ably not more than ten pounds, and
did little damage. Rumor bad it
that when they ran out of bombs
they threw atones. Probably more
truth than poetry.
‘'Gibraltar wa» the scene of the
best naval action that we saw. Two
actions, one in the morning and
again in the afternoon of the 7th
of August. The Jaime I, Spanish
battleship, accompanied by a cruis
er and a destroyer, headed round
the rock of Gibraltar from the
Meditarranean sicV and bombed
Algeciras.
“While the cruiser and the de
stroyer stood guard in the Straits
the battleship headed in toward
shore. After silencing an impotent
land battery she proceeded into the
harbor and held a brutal short range
battle practice on the town of Al
geciras. One of her twelve inch sal
vos landed, perhaps by accident,
on a rebel gunboat in the Algeciras
harbor, blew it up and sank lt.Ra|
ged salvo after ragged salvo poured
into the defensely town. It wasn't
pretty sight, but one that thrilled j
you in spite of yourself, if for no
other reason than the cruelty of it.
You could understand the loyalist
point of view, though Jor they knew
that each day hundreds of the reb
el Moroccan troops were landing
in Algeciras to march triumphantly
northward against the loyalist un
trained troops. About 11 o’clock the j
Jaime I steamed slowly out of the
harbor, black smoke belching fromj
her funnels, leaving in her wake a
smoking city, a sinking gcnlwat,
and terror in the hearts of the rebel
citizens of Algeciras. So ended act
one.
Blae On Dock
In the aftcrno Act 2 began and
promised to be a repetition of the
first. Roof tcp seats in the city of
Gibraltar were selling at a premium
and binoculars had risen in price
Seemed funny to see the war from
*
Casar Marine
the safety of your own bridge,
watching as Interested spectator*
only in a sea battle. But Act 2 gave
us surprises. Rebel planes took the
air and dropped bombs around the
escorting cruiser and destroyer.
Their A. A. guns popped futllely
for a while and then, thinking that
discretion was the better part of
valor, the escorting ships drew off.
The Jaime, seeing her companions
scuttle back toward Malaga, gave
up the ghost and after pouring a
few more salvos into Algeclfas turn
ed and followed their course. We
had viewed it from such a detach
ed point of vantage that it seemed
as part of a comic opera war, but
it was no stage scenery smoke that
lit up the harbor that night. No
papier mache shells had set fire to
the blazing cork pile on the dock
across the bay. And no dust bomb*
had destroyed the roads leading into
the city.
After another trip around the
Mediterranean circuit in which we
picked up refugees in Valencia and
Palma. That city was now compara
tively quiet. There had been no
bombing for almost a week’ For
that reason it was decided that it
was safe to give liberty to a small
party. No sooner had the word been
passed than the bugles sounded
"Anti Aircraft Defeme Call" signi
fying that bombers had appeared
headed for the city. Although we
missed our liberty we had anothei
chance to see the loyalist planes in
action. This time the three of them
used larger bombs and did their
best to destroy the oil supply of the
city. However they were unsuccess
ful and after having expended their
munitions they headed back to
Mlnorea.
We picked up refugees in Palma
that day and the next, the 16th Of
August. We set sail for Ivia, a
small island near Majorca after
some exciting times in getting refu
gees out there we headed once more
towards Alicante, that city domin
ated by the 14th century fortress
on the hill to the north of the city.
There we picked up a bunch of
vofugees from Madrid, and then
I late Sunday night set our course to
Villefranche. That was to ba our
liberty port until the end of the
cruise. It proved to be a small
water-front town of brilliantly col
ored stucco houses chief valuable
because of its nearness to Nice.
Monte Carolina and Cannes.
OU Reoerree Explode
After three days In Villefranche
we started out once more on our
circuit ot the Mediterranean with
our tint destination as Palma. It
was there that we met the U. 8. 8.
Oklahoma and picked up the tint
mall we received since leaving the
States more than a month before.
We saw another of the bombings
which were now routine for us. Aft
er leaving Palma we headed for
Malaga, from there to go on the
following morning to Olbraltar. But
conditions grew worse to the north
of us, and by the time we had gone
halfway to Olbraltar we received
radio message directing us to pro
ceed Instead to Valencia. As we
passed Malaga on our way back up
the coast we aaw what was prob
ably the grand climax of our war
time experiences, the bombing of
I the fleet oil reserves there. Three
planes, three hits, and three Area,
one of them gloriously destructive
we’ve ever seen. Over a million litres
of fuel oil went up tn smoke.
Our real taste of the Spanish
civil war occurred again at Palma
on the 37th of August. It was than
that the loyalists had sent a land
ing force. Palma itself was quiet,
but over on the other side of the
island of Majorca, at the bay of
Arts there were five supply and
war ships anchored about five miles
off the coast. On the beach we
could see the duet explosions of ar
tillery bombs sent by the defend
ing rebels Into the camp of the
loyalist landing foroe.
No real damage was apparent, but
If the tales wa heard wen true the
death toll of that landing force was
terrific. Neither aide was taking pri
soners, It was a war to extermina
tion.
The remainder of our time was
taken up with routine evacuation
of refugee* and liberty and recrea
tion around Vlllefranohe.
