was troubled by lack of anything
with which to scour messkits after
meals. 1t. Abbott wondered whether
Doris Okelberry Of Goshen, Utah,
had any idea where he was. They
were to have been married in June,
he said, but his orders brought him
to Alaska the day before the cere-
mony had been scheduled. And 1t.
Ridgeway admitted that he really
was getting tired of the dead whale.
Finally, in rowboats, the stoves
and rations were transferred ashore,
carried back into the hills so that
no enemy plane or vessel could
catch any hint of an outpost on the
silent, grassy shore.
The lieutenants finished their
coffee, saluted and went back to
their men. They don't know when
they will be relieved.

AN ALASKAN COMBAT BASE
Octy Sit. Abner A. Towers won
ders whether seal meat really would
be good to eat.
1t. j. T. Abbott hopes his girl
friend understands exactly why they
could not be married as they had
planned.
And 1t. Joe Ridgeway wishes he
could move just . little further
away from that dead whale.
The three lieutenants, each with
q squad OF enlisted men, floundered
ashore weeks ago, moved into con-
cealed camps. manned radio sending
stations-and then waited and
watched. For all of them the first
land on which they set foot in
Alaska was an empty beach below
a commanding promontory from
which they could watch both sea
and sky without being easily seen
themselves.
Each squad had only its shelter
halves-pup tents in an older ver-
sion Of military language. It was
raining, as it usually is in the Aleu-
tian combat zone. There were no
signs OF human habitation or ami
NAL life at first glance when the
fog cleared 1t. Ridgeway was able
to locate the whale which he had
previously smelled). There were no
trees, no paths through the dripping,
waist-high grass that grew down
to the beach.
That grass grew in clumpS, so
that . man walking through it must
either thread his way between hum
mocks 6 inches apart or be for
ever stepping up and down a foot
or two with each new step.
Some streams were visibly alive
with hump-backed salmon and the
trout that follow to eat the salmon
eggs. Sea gulls were over the
beaches and clumsy sea pigeons with
yellow bills tried desperately to rise
with their undersized wings.
Other streams ran concealed un-
der the tundra. so that a man fall
ing might easily land in water he
hadn't seen.
For rations the squads had only
the Army's emergency portions, plus
a few boxes of canned goods.
Then the small boats which had
brought them left the three shore
parties alone. Each officer was in
structed to use his radio only to
report. the presence of the enemy
in force. Even the serious illness
or death of officer or enlisted man.
they were told, would be insufficient
excuse for breaking the radio silence
which was their only protection
other than a few machine guns and
rif1es-from enemy attack.
For 10 days, nothing happened.
No ships passed any of the outposts.
No planes other than easily recog-
nized American types were overhead.
On these isolated beaches, no one
ever lived in modern times except
q few trappers, and those had long
since been evacuated. One or two OF
the outposts located old cabins or
underground native huts and used
them for shelter against the rain
and wind.
The outposts could not even listen
to their radios-and could have
heard nothing if they did, for radio
silence was being maintained by
United States forces all through this
combat area.
Then the supplies arrived by boat.
The boat had no name, and she
certainly was no beauty; but each
unshaven lieutenant relaxed little
as he climbed aboard. And each
one looked first at the piles of food,
then at the officers who waited for
them.
