A supply craft burns off a New Guinea beach

Under low grey cloud, a gently curving beach of dark sand runs to a wooded point on the right; out on the calm water a bright flash of flame marks a burning vessel, from which a slanting column of black smoke drifts upward. The source describes Japanese aircraft from Rabaul scoring a direct hit on an American supply craft, which blows up. In the fighting for Buna and Gona in late 1942 small craft carried much of the supply along the coast.
