Hydro project claims a beat up - Brownlee.
Pa Blanken tells me that the Japs beat up our camp a month ago and we have lost all our heavy gear and moved up into the hills - he does not know where. Hell! No casualties, however. Our material losses were very serious. The Japs had found a rucksack containing all our money, our medicines, including all our vital quinine, a copy of our signals plan, and a number of maps. It seems probable that the Japs spotted our camp from the air. They certainly knew its exact position and came straight to it.
He flew into a hill and beat himself up pretty badly.
I got beaten up by thugs on my way home.
Few areas of science journalism are more susceptible to frothy beat-ups than stem cell research.
