CHAPTER XX

In Illlo, we skipped an
afternoons work and hired
ramshackle car AS was Gus
tomary IN that port. the Gala
wars Jazz band played on the
SundeCk and The officers and
passengers were dancing with
a hevy of bored debutanteS
from ashore.
We saw MIR. Wells. his face
happily flushed whiriIUE and
gliding with a young thing in
his arms. and so We slipped
away unnoticed.
We cruiSed around the
island of Hawaii until dark.
The roads were excellent. The
towering outlines of Mauna
kea and Mauna Loa against
HE unmarried tiue of the sky
were a rare sight which gave
our Journey the flavor of a
holiday trip But we had only
casual glances for the vol
canoes.
Our eyes hunted for the
meandering lines of Filipino
workers in the vast stretches
Of sugar and pineapple.
Wherever we saw a siZable
crew al work, we investigated
the location of the mems bar
racks and the village nearest
10 them. LeiSurely we walked
through the villages. Comrade
B. and | made notes of every
thing we thought might be
important.
1t was clear that Com
munlSt organizers. detailed 10
recruit and school Filipino
plantation kers would
have to establish themselves
inConspicuously in these viii
lagos; if they could manage 10
win the good will of the local
Chinese, they would have
plenty opportunity for as
ISOLATION with the Filipinos.
LIKE CATALOGS
The propaganda literature
would have to be printed IN
neutral covers, 10 look like
catalogs or advertising mat
ter. An organizer would not
have 10 go into the plantations
himself. Once he had inter-
cSted a few Of the workers,
they could carry the discus
sion and pamphlets into the
barracks.
We returned to the Gala
waii, dusty and weary, but
with the feeling that we had
done a good days work. Com
rade r. did not want to send
the report Of our scouting eX-
petition from Hawaii He de-
Cidcd TO wait until we were
back in San Pedro.
That same night, after q
cold shower, / went back
ashore in Hilo for some re-
freshment in one of the ice
cream stores near the docks.
When ] walked into the place,
/ saw the youngster, whom |
suspected Of being the ships
informer, lurching over a
small round table in the back
ground.
He had had too much okole-
-hau, and he was slightly drunk
and very cocky. He had a
knife in his hand and amused
himself with cutting a number

But he had his revenge. The

San Pedro 10 days later when
immigration officers boarded
the ship, leaving a watchman
TO guard the gangway. / was
ordered to bring all my papers
10 the captains salon.
Comrade B. had received
the same order. In the salon
two immigration officials IN

Able Seaman's Certificate, my
Lifeboat Ticket. and my dis
charge book of the Ship
owners Association.

further notice" they told me.
A minute later shipmate
informed me that he had
heard the gangway Waterman
say thatthe officers had come
aboard TO arrest "a couple Of
undesirable aliens. T h e n
Comrade b. flew in TO the
cabin, curSing.
We've got to vanish"
he said.
HEAR NAMES SHOUTED
We agreed on a meeting
place ashore. and separated.
We heard a voice through the
companionway on deck, shout
ing our names. / ran through
the 'tweendecks toward a port
amidships. used at sea for
dumping kitchen garbage. /
slipped through the port.
The rim of the concrete
quay was TOO far off for me
TO reach. But at the bottom
of the 4-foot-wide gully. be-
tween the ships side and the
quay, were heavy logs chained
TO ring-bolts in the concrete
and serving as tenders. l let
myself drop to one of these
logs.
The surface was Shiny and
barnacled. l craWled along the
logs, lodging column OF
water which poured from a
Scupper, until / cleared the
steamers stern. There was an
iron ladder here leading to the
top of the quay. l ran up this
ladder. and disappeared in the
murk of a great cargo shed.
| met Comrade B. in the
booth of a soothsayer in the
Long Beach amusement dis
trict. a few miles from the
Pacific docks. There was a
hunt for us going on all over
San Pedro and Wilmington.
Comrade B. had salvaged his
bundle of notes and his money.
/ had salvaged nothing.
Bareheaded, in khaki shirts.
dungarees and canvas shoes.
we deliberated in a moving
roller-coaSter on what we
should do. We saw no chance
of ever getting another ship
in any West Coast port. Both
of us were refugees from the
Germany Of 1923, and were UNI
willing to invite capture and
deportation. Neither of us had
any Identification papers. Our
belongings we're still aboard
the Calawaii.
/ knew an elderly girl in
Long Beach, whose failure TO
win the man she loved had
driven her to toy with COM
munism. She worked as a
waitress in a Seashore restau-
rant. When the restaurant
closed al II, l met her and eX-
planned our predlcament TO
her.
She declared herself willing
10 board the Calawaii 10 see if
there were still any guards on
duty. While she went aboard,
Comrade B. and | waited in an
empty railway car a hundred
yards from the ship. She re-
turned to report that there
were two watehmen at the
gangway.

PROVES LINGUIST

Comrade Anton spoke fault

and F'lemish-his mother Ian
guage. He received me IN a
businesslike fashion. He knew
in advance of my coming, and
prepared for me a document
typed in Russian and bearing
two huge blue Soviet seals.
He gave me the sum Of 20
Dutch gullders, detailed in
structions as 10 how | was TO
