A Fight Occured at the Polar Ice-Cap

 by: Loh Pei Qian

There was a fight that occured at polar ice-cap at Saturday night. It happened on 12.15 p.m. I was required to follow the Marines from the ship to rescue people. As I approached the glacier, i saw a man, named Corazzini aiming his gun at another man, Solly Levin. Corazzini shot him and i assumed Solly Levin was dead as there was no sign of movement from him. Johnny Zagero, who apparently is the son of Solly Levin, was furious over Corazzini murder and he threw himself onto Corazzini. They fought and simultaniously Smallwood ordered Mason to drop his gun. He treaten to kill Margeret Ross if he refused to do so. Mason and Hillcrest obeyed him and as he shot Margeret Ross left arm.

As I watched Corazzini fighting with Zagero, suddenly i saw Solly Levin was moving. He did not died! In the same time Corazzini ran in the direction of some rock, Zagero followed him and the unseen battle continued behind the rocks. Later on, i saw Zagero came out, his was injured. Then i saw some fishingboat arrived at the foot of glacier, apparently there were Smallwood's friends on the boat. There were four planes flying through the sky, the planes were flying low, forming a circle above them.

I can see that Mason was trying to persuade Smallwood to give in and i saw some men moving towards them with their guns. Suddenly Smallwood jumped into the tractor and he shot Mason right at his arm. As the tractor began to move, Mason and Jackstraw ran behind the tractor . When i reached the place where the tractor stopped, i saw two planes were flying low and the people inside the plane were shooting. As Mason and Jackstraw reached the place, one of them jumped into a crevasse. Then Margeret Ross was pulled up by Jackstraw and he threw a rope to Mason. Everone was safe. Smallwood didnt make it. It was a long and tiring journey for them but they were glad it ended.
