Where nature played a joke. The beautiful harbor of Cattaro, in Montenegro that offers wonderful anchorage facilities, but has not practical outlet to the hinterland beyond. Nature was at her best when she built this wonderful roadstead, but played a good joke on the world by surrounding it with the steepest and almost insurmountable mountains. On the island at the entrance are monasteries where visitors are allowed but twice every year and the monks live in solitude. At the base of the hill to the right, in the ruins of a village, is one of the American Red Cross base warehouses. It transports supplies by ox-cart and aerial tramways to the back country

One year of reciprocal aid. British sailors and U.S. Rangers share a joke as well as ships. More than thirty troops, transports of the British Merchant Navy, were in the first convoy that swept through the Mediterranean in the invasion of North Africa, in company with American forces under escort of the Royal Navy. American aviators flew British Spitfire planes, in a joint action that established the Allied second front. The principle of sharing by the Allies paid tremendous dividends in this action
