"FULL SPEED AHEAD"
NAVY'S TRANSPORT SERVICE
LONDON, January 25. "Now it is full speed ahead in the Battle of Tunisia," said Rear-Admiral Harwood, Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean. "The Navy is alteady busy dynamiting wrecks blocking the entrance to Tripoli harbour. We are at present employing the supply system that was used at Bardia, Tobruk, and Benghazi before the salvage crews cleared the ports. Under the temporary system advanced beach survey parties choose appropriate points, and then mobile beach parties occupy them to unload the supplies as soon as landing craft shove their noses on the beach."
