USS Kane (DD-235)

The destroyer USS Kane which was in Spanish waters assisting in the evacuation of American nationals, was attacked by an unidentified aircraft. A total of six bombs were dropped which landed near the ship but did no damage, and the Kanereplied with anti-aircraft fire in the direction of the plane. The United States sent protests to both sides in the civil war. The U.S. State Department said the altercation was probably a case of mistaken identity, even though the Kane was clearly flying the American flag.

Has rained for two hours solidly with much thunder and lightning.   Had planned to take Jean and Ethelyn  to “Anthony Adverse”  but if this continues we may have to wait until Tomorrow! Repacked my bags into Dit’s steamer trunk.  Had to go to town on Image result for anthony adversea sightseeing bus because the streetcars couldn’t run – the tracks were completely covered with mud, rocks, etc.  Met Jean and Ethelyn at the Park.   The show was grand!  Claude Rains as Don Louis, Fredric March as Anthony and Olivia de Havilland as Angela were outstanding.  I think I never saw a more hateful character than Faith. Got home about 7 and the rest of the family was just getting ready to see it so I went down (rather than stay alone) and saw it again!  Twice in one day is enough for that.  Got home at eleven – Paper says it rained 1.99 inches at Ft. Bliss. About that in Fort Hill I imagine.

Junior Play matinee and night – We dismissed at 2:30 for it.  Went to town and then played some tennis though the wind was blowing. A Mr. Larcum strolled over and refereed for us.  It turns out that he lives next door to Mrs. Martens.  The play was “Seventeen”  I know the story and there were 4 acts as it dragged a little before it was over!  We (Alyce Claire) took Mrs. Markham.  Later AC and I went to the Busy Bee for soup.  Harriet has put an idea for roller skates in my head!  Should like to brush up on my French, too!  Heard some Institute Officers making fair stabs at it last night at Grady’s – Reminded me of Jaime!
