Just Deserts. By this time Lieut. General Frank M. Andrews, commanding the Caribbean Defense, decided to crack down. He made an inspection flight over the northern Caribbean area, convinced startled British officials of Gough's complicity. But the slippery Gough was not easy to hook. He escaped. In the days of 17th-Century pirates he might well have outraced his pursuers to the nearby Republic of Honduras. But a Naval patrol plane overtook his boat, forced it to stop, and took over. It was believed the first time in history that an air crew became a prize crew. But it was not the last time, if Snoopers Hemingway and Jenkinson's 1940 warnings were to be reread, that the U.S. would discover a Nazi octopus in the Caribbean Sea.
