We who go and come away again cannot be other than small beside them.įrom the day war was declared, I felt keenly for the side of Britain. I merely toasted my shins awhile before the grate of war they-the people of England-are the embers and coals and licks of flame that constitute the very fire itself. I don’t feel cleansed in spirit or exalted in stature. What I mean is that, so far as I can analyze myself, I feel no different than before I went. All the elements I had visioned were there, yet apparently I had not the capacity for being erupted by them up into a great new nobleness of mind and heart. For one thing, it never seemed dramatic to me when I was there. Things didn’t turn out just as I had expected. ![]() It seemed to me somehow that anyone who went through the immersion into fear and honor of the London bombings, could not help but be made fuller by it. I felt that to live your span in this time of ours, and to detour around an opportunity of sharing in the most momentous happening of that time, was simply to be disinterested in living. I simply wanted to go privately-just inside myself I wanted to go.įor it seemed to me that in London there was occurring a spiritual holocaust-a trial of souls-that never again in our day could be re-enacted. And I am a newspaperman, yet the story I might send back hardly entered my mind at all. I am a professional traveler, but it was not curiosity to see what it was like that made me want to go. To this day I cannot quite put into words just what my feelings were. Last fall when the great air battles were being fought out over England and the first full reality of the bombed torment that was London’s came over the cables to us in America, there grew in me an almost overpowering urge to be there amidst it all.

Text originally published in 1944 under the same title. They also have a report but I dont know how recent it is.This edition is published by Arcole Publishing – To join our mailing list for new titles or for issues with our books – on Facebook Google Pyles Porthole and they will have hours they are open and a number to call. Pyles usually helps with what foot of water to fish. Try fishing straight out from that crick. To the South of these houses there will be a short gap and then one really large house. It is identifiable by the 5-6 very similar houses one right after another. Another good spot to try is North of the Sand Dunes. That is a pretty good spot and just scan 20-40FOW till you find the fish. I would go to the south down by the 2nd or 3rd Sand Dune. There is usually a pretty big pack of boats to the south of the pierheads. It is then easy to find Dunkley and trace your way to the launch.Īs for a report I have not been out in a while so I am not much help there. Just google map South Haven and you will see where the bridge crosses the river. Sounds confusing but its really not at all. ![]() ![]() This leads right to the City Launch which has several docks and usually a fish cleaning station but I heard it was out of commission. Instead go straight and you will now be on Wells Street. Get back on Dunkley but DO NOT follow Dunkley around the side of Pyles. They will have minnows, drinks, and a fishing report. Follow this road for just a little bit and you will soon see Pyles Porthole on your right. Right before the bridge turn right onto Dunkley Ave. You will see Dykman leads to a bridge crossing the river. Turn right onto Broadway and follow it until you get to Dykman Ave. If from I-94 take the Phoenix Road exit until you reach Broadway Street (also M-43). Where are you coming from? This will be a lot of info all in one so it might be confusing.
