was making his exit from the ice.
Adams was short with his first
few punches, over the heads Of

wood swung into action Jack
scored with a hard right to the
head. In the wild minute of action

Crosse and Wares also sent few

able to save from Bataan and Cor
regidor. We always had to keep
our eyes peeled for friendly natives
and for natives who were pro-Japa-
nese because Of fear. Every man
or woman we met was potential
friend, and just as much q poten-
tial enemy.
We slept by day in caves or in
bushes. We learned to play the
game Of hide-and-seek the way the
Japanese played it, with deceit and
treachery every minute. We doubled
back countless times to throw any
pursuer off our trail. AS we walked
by night, the knife-like rocks along
the treacherous trails of Jungle
covered Luzon slashed at our bare
feet with almost every step. We
went without food or water, often
as long as five days, while the
broiling sun of the sweltering Phil
ippine day burned us almost black.
We had no clothes except our under
wear and a pair of tropical shorts,
and the cold mountain nights were
almost as bitter for us as the steam
ing tropical days.
We entered isolated native vii
lagos by night, sometimes awakening

everything had been completed for
the start. We had boiled wild pig
and put It in air-tight cans and
had stocked our small vessel with
rice, coffee and fuel. We had re-
paired our temperamental diesel
engine as best we could. Our first
night out we began q series OF mis-
adventures which trailed us from the
time we lost the Philippines until
we arrived in Australia. Once we
sailed between two Jap warships
which were signalling each other
by search1ight from a distance Of
perhaps S miles. We did not realize
our danger until the lights began
flashing to the right and left OF us.
We were caught In . large typhoon
in the China Sea for two days, and
another time we were becalmed only
q few miles from the major Jap
garrison on an island in the lower
Philippines.
Journey Called Impossible.
When we left the Philippines ma
tives told US we were absolutely
crazy; that we couldn't possibly
safely reach Australia. Sometimes
during the 3,000-mile journey it
looked like the natives had been
right, but somehow neither Of us
ever gave up or ever dreamed Of
anything but Australia and free
dom-and the chance to hit the Jap
again on at least fairly equal terms.
During those seemingly endless
months on Bataan, enduring our
slow, dangerous progress into the
interior of Luzon, we both felt a
hand far greater than ours guiding
our destiny. We prayed many times
between the Philippines and Aus
tralia, as much for the men we left
behind as for our own safety.
They weren't audible prayers, but
they were there just the same. We
realize now, and perhaps even more
wildly than we then did, how many
times we were close to our Maker.
The story we are going to tell
sometimes individually, because
many Of our most narrowing ex-
periences happened before we be-
came fellow-escapees, and later to-
gether during our last days in the
Philippines-will sound unbelievable
and perhaps little fantastic to the
ears Of civilized people, who will find
it difficult to comprehend the bar
barrie and inhuman conduct Of the
enemy with whom we are at war.
But they are true as Bataan itself!
Our stories are the stories the men
of Bataan and Corregidor will tell
when they are free again. It is
the simple truth as we have known
1t and have seen 1t during five
months Of bloody, uncompromising
| war and during almost seven months

on the hazardous, exhausting voy-
age to@Australia.
Many times during those three
months on Luzon and during the
voyage 1t seemed certain that our
desperate chance to gain full free
dom would be nipped by the Japa-
nese. Once one Of us was placed
in a concentration camp on Bataan
only to break away again only a
few steps ahead of a virtual deluge

river mud, our faces and heads
covered with foul-smelling muck

around us.

first OF II Installments.)

We have escaped the Japanese.
We have escaped the hell that was
once the peaceful Philippines. For
seven long months-since the day
Bataan surrendered, for one Of us,
and since the day Corregidor sur
rendered for the other-we have
been like hunted animals. We have
lived for hours in the shark-infested
waters Of Manila Bay. We have lived
for DAYS and weeks in the barren,
rugged, friendless mountains OF
Luzon. We have spent nearly two
months since Corregidor's fall IN a
2O-foot motor sailer, blowing our way
through the 5000 miles from some
where in the Philippines to Aus
tralia.
We are, we believe, the first
American officers to escape from
the Philippines since that tragic
day when the gallant men Of Cor
regidor and the Philippines, with
whom we lived, worked and fought
for nearly six months, laid down
their arms.
We have seen the tattered but still
proud flag of the United States OF
America torn down from its guard
ian posts over the pitifully small
garrisons of Bataan, and trampled
on by the japanese invader. We
have seen American officers and
American enlisted men reduced to
the rank of humble slaves by an
enemy who fears no god and re-
spects no white man.
Barbaric Treatment.
On that afternoon of April
when our troops had fired their last
shots as free men of free army,
We saw arrogant, merciless Japa-
nese soldiers bayonetting our
wounded with the lust of barbarians
turned loose for the first time We
saw, that same afternoon, an Amer
lean officer who had courageously
and fearlessly discharged his duties
duties as leader and a soldier
through six months of heartbreak-
ing setbacks-forced by well-fed,
grinning Japanese, to put his nose
into a pile of filth, while other
sneering japanese prodded him on
at the point of stiletto-like daggers.
That is the enemy we eluded, as
men virtually imprisoned on Luzon
by geographical barriers and ma
terial shortages. And that is the
enemy which bounded our small
boat as we crept from island to
island and from village to village

curses directed 1t Emperor Hiro-
hito when his death volley was fred.
But although the Filpinos were,
on the surface, taking the Japanese
reign of terror and brutal Japanese
assaults against Filipino women
quietly, there was smoldering wrath
growing in the hearts Of the Fill
pino men. We heard more and more
stories of Jap soldiers being found
dead, stabbed on the dark streets
of Manila or beaten over the head
and killed along lonely province
trails.
One Of us spent July in an iso-
lated village where natives, remem-
bering the day and its Importance
to Americans, played "The Star
Spangled Banner" on makeshift
guitars while an American nag they
had carefully hidden near the vii
lage when the Jap forces overran
Luzon was brought out and proudly
and tremendously hoisted to full
staff. It was probably the only
American nag which new in all the
Philippines on Independence Day.
Only few miles away Jap patrols
were securing the mountains for
any signs of fleeing Americans. Ma
tive participation in our July 4 GER
emory was their way of showing
defiance to the Jap invader.
We found out through the simple
kindness Of the illiterate, uneducated
people of the Philippines interior
that . feeling Of deep loyalty fol-
America still exists strongly in their
hearts.
At lonely bivouac we made, We
met Marine Pvt. Buddy Henderson
of Texas, who had been on Corregi-
dor and who had given one OF us
help the day after our last fortress
toppled. He told us his bamboo
wireless system had confirmed the
safety Of 1t. Gen. Wainwright, and
reported he was being respectfully
treated in Manila.
Actually, we two were brought to-
gether by underground messages

south Of Manila, in the middle Of
July, where we planned our escape

japanese Atrocities.
Our bamboo wireless" which had
q strange, almost mystic, way Of
learning within q few hours news
that had taken place hundreds OF
miles away, brought us word Of other
Americans who, like ourselves, had
refused to surrender and had taken
to the mountains. We met few iso-
lated groups Of these Americans.
They told us they were as deter
mined as we to leave the Philippines,
but suggested that we keep in small
groups as widely separated as pos
sible, to avoid detection by the
Japanese.
From the Bamboo Wireless" too,
we learned OF the atrocities Japa-
nese were committing on Manila
and on Bataan; how Filipino women
were being almost continuously as
saulted by Japanese soldiers, some
times on the very streets of Manila,
and how one entire Philippine prov
ince had all its young women ap-
propriated by the Japanese Army.
We saw Philippine newspapers
published after Bataan's fall, with
pictures of our exhausted, raggedly
clothed troops after the surrender.
with captions ridiculing the Ameri-
can defense Of the Philippines. From
one of our friends we learned how
American officers and soldiers alike
were forced to march nearly so miles
only q few hours before Bataan's
fall, without food or water. Those
that fell out or became sick were
Immediately bayoneted.
We heard, from Manila, how
American soldiers, already terribly
weak, almost starving and without
water for days, had been forced to
march through the city In almost
endless lines while Japanese mill
tary and civilian police restrained
its pro-American population from
giving soldiers food, water or ciga-
rettes. Those men had to walk in
their bare feet, too, another pleas
ant Japanese trick for lowering the
white men in the eyes of the Fill
pinos. The Filipinos were suffering
with the Americans for their out
spoken democratic ideals. One Of
ficer we knew on Bataan was shot
to death by Jap firing squad be-
cause he refused to bow to Japa-
nese soldiers on the streets of
Manila. He was cheerfully yelling
out q long list Of special Filipino
