where lights were needed. Two
days later the clipper crew got
orders to get the clipper to safe
place, San Francisco. It was a
grim, determined crew that took
that ship out. Eight men under
Capt. Turner. Out into a dismal
bank of fog, into space and safety.
where they arrived without mis-
hap two days later. Shortly after,
that morning when seeing the
clipper go and your feeling of
some connection with the outside
go with it, two slim, trim destroy
ers, a mine layer and submar-
Inc slipped into port. We were
no longer unprotected on the wa
ter side.
Someone in the hotel thought
they had sighted flares on Mauna
Kea which meant only one thing,
parachute troops. The next morn
ing soldiers and pig hunters were
out to round them up, but several
hours later it proved to be false.
About five days after the out
Meets Tu Tin Tut
break, the stranded clipper passen-
gers received their call from Hon.
oiulu. Among the first to go was
the prime minister of Burma, u.
Saw, and his aide, Tu Tin Tut,
whom I had the privilege of meet
ing and talking to; a Mr.. Mac
Donald of the British Embassy,
Brahman with an unpronounc
able name who was going back to
India, DR.. Clark whom I knew
in Honolulu, and a Lieut.. Peller
who was on his way to the Phil
ippines. Also several business men
who were trying to get to Singa-
pore and Manila. They left that
afternoon in welter of excite
ment on the first plane, and ar
rived safely.
From then on, people from all
over the island that didn't belong
there were getting their permits
to go according to their import
ance. Finally we got ours on the
18th to be ready to leave on a
moments notice. We had to fly as
there were no ships leaving from
any of the island ports. That
meant leaving all unnecessary lug
gage behind, the car, and the dog.
On the 10th of Dec, when we
should have been sailing for home
and real Christmas, we left Hi
10. One hour and twenty minutes
later we were in Honolulu, 1872
miles away.
Bomb Jap Store
All of the ware scars had been
removed as far as we could see
from the plane as we landed on
John Rogers airport, and rode
through the city. The one thing ]
did see on King and McCully SITS
was a Japanese drug store and
soda fountain that had been bomb
ed. Four charred walls remained
and three houses around it were
burned and unoccupied. The dread
full potency of bombing can only
be realized by actually seeing
something like this.
The important things we were
told to remember were that the
busses stopped running at five
o'clock and that you had to be off
the streets by six unless you had
a good reason for being out and
the three special passes that en-
titled you to be out. The next
thing was to sign up as evacuees
and wait for a call to leave. It
had to be by boat as the Army

clippers, ana wait to be called.
Martial law endorsements every
where, the Army had taken over
completely.
The first Sunday was in Hon.
olulu, a group of friends and I de-
cided to attend one of the two
showings of movies they allowed
day when the cab we were in was
stopped and told to pull over to
the curb, an air raid. We got out
and walked up the street and a
soldier told us we should take for
cover. When we stopped the
streets were filled with curious
people, even as I. 1t lasted for
thirty-three minutes before the all
clear was given, All air raids are
real there and this was a real one.
Nothing got close enough to do
any damage.
Thus spent a week living from
day to day, from dawn to dusk and
going to bed at night, not knowing
what the night would bring.
Ship Overcrowded
Dec. % we received our call to
sail at an unknown date, each of
us going alone to get our permit
and sign for our ticket. The next
night though, they notified us to
be aboard Christmas day, no later
than $3.50 and there to wait for
sailing orders under the U. S. Ma
wy. Try and imagine Christmas
day on a ship that was BACKED
out by four-thirty, in the sitting
heat with 996 other people, not
knowing when it would be safe
enough to sail on a ship that or
dinarily held 554. Dec. 26th about
IL o'clock out bounced several tugs
and we were on our way. The
Matsonia, which we were on, the
Lurline with the wounded, and
the Monterey. 1-2-3-just like
that four destroyers, a submarine
and cruiser. The submarine and
two of the destroyers turned back
after the first day out, away from
the really dangerous waters
around the islands.
When we were about mile off
port, the captain announced over
the loud speaker to put on your
life belt and keep them on for the
rest of the voyage. This was no
pleasure trip, and that all the fresh
water was to be used for drinking
and cooking only. IF you wanted
a bath, you had to use salt water
and like it. Have you ever taken
a bath in salt water? Our time at
sea was indefinite so we had to
go easy on everything.
Slept With Life Belts
Life boat drill was held every
day and it was really funny to
see the odd collection of people in
their life belts at all times. We
did relax enough to take them off
at meal time, and slept with them
on our beds.
No lights at all on the outside
and if any were spotted, the cap
tain would be forced to pull the
master switch. No one showed a
light.
So it was five and a half days,
changing our course every seven
minutes on a very rough sea that
made you wonder how much of
chance you had if you had to go
overheard with just your life belt.
The one thing we had to look
forward to was the scout ships
being catapulted from the cruiser
and being picked up again that
made you miss the use of your
camera.

More About Arlie Chappell's Flight From Hawaii

(Contlnued from Page One)
time the trip was over, back in
Hilo, everything available in the
form of military protection was in
use.
The biggest surprise yet to this
still skeptical person upon our ar
irving at the Naniloa hotel, was
entering into the lobby the small
groups of stunned people huddled,
trying to understand all that they
had heard. The blue uniforms of
some of the men were quickly
identified as those of the clipper
crew that had been forced to land
there instead of the regular base
at Pearl Harbor. What about us?
AS the hotel is located right on the
edge of Hilo Bay, and no protec-
ton whatsoever. Nothing but some
docks and us. Our orders were to
keep off the streets, total blackout,
and leave your radios on for any
further information, and wait-for
what? If someone, anyone knew
what to expect. That night after
an unwanted dinner in the BACKED
out private dining room, we fig
ured out what we would need to
take with us in case we had to
leave in an air raid. Especially for
the baby. Upstairs in our room,
trying to fix a light to put the
baby to bed, I had turned the
closet light on as the manager
said they couldn't be seen from
the outside, when a voice from the
hallway, the air raid warden. said
Turn your lights out, we hear
planes overhead" You'll never
know what dumb terror it strikes
in you until you hear those words
in the blackness. Mrs. Hoe and I
sat there with the sleeping baby
between us on the bed, unable to
speak. The planes passed on, our
own, on patrol duty. The sense
of security they gave us even in
their comparative smallness was
immense. Sleep that night, No.
We took the baby and went back
to the lobby and sat with the rest
andlistened to the radio to gather
what news we could. Finally, we
had to go to bed. How much I or
anyone else slep that night when
wefinally did go to bed, I don't
know, but when the first ray of
dawn appeared we were all up,
waiting again, for another Gay Of
not knowing. When the single
sheet of the Hilo Tribune was sent
out among other things was this
announcement: No school for an
indefinite period. No gas to be
purchased. No food to be bought
until the food administrator could
take an inventory. Walk if you
had business in town, if not, stay
off the streets. TOTAL BLACK
OUT
The whole territory was under
martial law.
Ration Food And Drink
When they did allow food sales
it amounted to 35c per day per
person. No liquor sales at all for
the duration, all of it was for
medicinal use.
The day was the same tense, ner
vous stretch of not knowing, try
ing to go on with the things one
enjoyed ordinarily. 1t slipped by
and soon it was dusk and when
you went to turn on a light switch
nothing happened. They had pulled
the master switch. So it was up
to you and your flash lights, dim
med to a minimum with blue cell
lophane. By then too they had
