Named Uskok and ?etnik, the boats were built by the Thornycroft Company based on their existing class of 17-metre-long (55 ft) Coastal Motor Boats, but were almost 1.5 metres (5 ft) longer. As their main armament they were equipped with cradles that carried two British-designed 456-millimetre (18 in) torpedoes, were fitted with hydrophones, and could carry depth charges instead of torpedoes if used in an anti-submarine role. The boats were lightly-built using mahogany, powered by two petrol engines, but lacked transverse bulkheads within the hull to mitigate leaks. When Yugoslavia entered World War II due to the German-led Axis invasion of the country in April 1941, both boats were captured by Italian forces, after an abortive attempt by one crew to join the fledgling Navy of the Independent State of Croatia. The boats were commissioned in the Royal Italian Navy and operated with a squadron out of the Dalmatian port of E ibenik, where they had been based pre-war. Their age and condition meant they were only used for patrolling and second-line duties.

The issue also included short stories by Carl Jacobi, Emil Petaja, and Ralph Milne Farley, and the next instalments of both the serials in progress, by England and Miller. There was also a non-fiction piece by Forrest Ackerman. In 1936, Crawford announced in a fanzine, Fantasy Magazine, that he had obtained newsstand distribution for Marvel Tales, and gave details of his plans to convert it to a fully professional magazine. The next issue was to be 64 pages, priced at 15 cents, and would include stories by H. P. Lovecraft, E. E. Smith, Donald Wandrei, Murray Leinster, and others. Partial proofs were prepared, but the costs were too great for Crawford, and the issue never appeared. The proof copy included the final instalment of Miller's "The Titan", reprints of two round-robin stories (both titled The Challenge From Beyond) by well-known authors that had previously appeared in Fantasy Magazine, H. P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and several short stories, with artwork by Clay Ferguson and Frank Utpatel. Although the magazine never appeared, Crawford did manage to publish a hardcopy edition of The Shadow Over Innsmouth in 1936. Crawford's ambition was to demonstrate that the existing professional sf magazines were limiting the field by turning down good stories that did not fit their idea of what was acceptable. Moskowitz considers that Crawford proved his case, but without the finances to support national distribution of his magazines, he was doomed to fail. Science fiction historians Frank Parnell and Mike Ashley agree. Ashley describes Marvel Tales as "a worthwhile and exciting experiment that could have had a significant impact on the development of SF had it succeeded", and Crawford as a pioneer in his attempts to prove that science fiction need not adhere to the standard pulp formulas. Parnell and Ashley consider that Crawford was "the man who made the greatest effort to bridge the ga ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #9729 **********************************************
