Throughout the county the
blackout ranged from 65 per

At New Baltimore a total
blackout was held and no cas-
ualties or other untoward events
were observed.

and motorists cooperatcd 100

success,
In Roseville Village President
William Harper was highly
elated at the success of the
blackout, while in st. Clair
Shores and East Detroit excel
lent results were reported Traf-
fic along virtually all county
highways stood, with lights out,
through the entire period Of the
alert.
Sheriff Jacob Thcut declared
that cooperation Of citizen s
throughout the area outside Of
municipalities was 100 per
cent.
The sheriffs office plans for
the blackout were most comprc-
henSive and worked out to
"T",
Engaged in the control of
traffic and lighting was force
of SO regular and special depu-
ties and civilian aides, and Sci

policemen to that number. The
men were distributed to road

The signs, done by Walter Pet

One humorous sidelight on
the blackout came at 14-Mile
and Gratiot roads when mill
tary police working with the
sheriff's office halted a flying
motorcycle rider who sped
d own Gratiot without lights
shortly after the lert was
sounded.

afraid we were heading for . group
of Japanese held islands and we had
double fear Of being captured and
made prisoners. We knew we
wouldn't last long under those cir
cumstances.
The night of the goth day, under
protest, we broke up. Everybody
went their own way. Capt. Cherry
in the little boat alone with the CO.
pilot, navigator and the radio op-
orator in the other boat. In my
opinion, we couldn't have-the three
men couldn't have lasted another
48 hours.
Capt. Cherry was found by the
machinist's mate in this one plane,
the Navy plane, and the other three
bows drifted ON to an unoccupied
island and were on it for one and
one half days when the natives
from another island found them.

hour later.
I'm the meantime, squall blew up

later they came back through it and
hit us right on the nose. One Of
them stayed there and circled and
circled, while the other one left. The
sun kept going down, and the fact
was that if he didn't land soon, he
would not be able to and we would
be lost again. About that time it
was two-thirds dark, the sun had
gone then I couldn't see how he
could possibly land without cracking
up. He let go with flare, his Very
pistol, then a minute later another
one; then over the horizon we saw
the blinkers of boat, which turned
out to be PIT boat, and then he
came down and landed-one of those

gasp. In spite Of the fact that I
had taken men out of burning
race cars and airplanes, I have
never had that experience before
and was afraid to make any de-
cision until daylight. At am. we
pulled together, I examined him
thoroughly and pronounced him
dead I asked two of the boys to
double check me, witness and verify
my decision. We stripped him,
lifted him overheard gently and he
disappeared 1t was rather a diff
cult thing to do, one of the hardest
jobs I have ever had to do.
Upset Mentally, Men
Bare Life's Secrets.
That left the seven of us. One
OF the boys cut loose-the little
engineer Bartek, who was alone in
the boat-the boys had switched
and changed off-on this night un-
beknown to us, and the next morn
ing he was probably three -fourths
OF mile away. He decided by this
time he wanted to get back. The
cause of it don't know, other than
a mental upset. We tied up again
and then the minds began to crack.
I say to you that I know things
about these mems lives that prob
ably no other living soul knows.
Any sins of commission or omission
were confessed. The only thing
that saved me was that I didn't
get time to get started on my own
life or l would probably be talking
yet.
On the night of the 17th day or
evening we saw our first sign of life.
Then we saw pontoon single
engine plane about 5 miles away
We had been trying to keep on the
alert and keep some one on the
watch all the time with ears and
eyes open day and night, which
became more difficult as time went
on. But this little plane went by
probably 5 miles away We waved
frantically. yelled, which meant
nothing. He went on by and didn't
come back: it was rather heart
breaking. The next day two of them
came out and again they missed
us. The following dav there were
tour of them and they passed us up.
TWO on either side, about 4, 5
Or 6 miles away, and though we
were all tied together and the RATS
were yellow, it is probably one of
the most difficult things in the
world to be able to see that small
an object when the breakers are
in action.
AS said before, we didn't know
where we were; we knew no one
else knew. Most of the boys were
afraid that we might die and no
one would ever know whether we
were dead or alive, as is still the
case with Amelia Earhart, because
that is terriicly big ocean.

our original destination. The only
thing we had to go by was a watch,
one watch-the others all went
haywire on account of the salt wa
ter. We checked the rise and set

lot Of pangs Of hunger, and we
prayed for food
We had couple of little fish lines
with hooks about the size of the end
OF my little finger but no bait, and
II 1t wasn't for the fact that l had
seven witnesses, I wouldn't dare tell
this story because it seems so fan
tastic. Within an hour after prayer
meeting sea gull came in and
landed on my head, and you can
imagine my nervousness in trying
to turn around and get him which
l did. We Wrung his head and
feathered him and carved up his
carcass, and distributed him and
used his innards for bait.
Didn't Have Heart
To Kill Second Gull.
Capt. Cherry caught little
mackerel about or 8 inches long
and I caught little speckled sea
bass about the same size. so we had
food for couple of days. We divided
them up equally and there was no
wastage-the head, body and bones
were delicious. Everybody got an
equal share
The next day I had another sea
gull land on my shoulder, which I
caught, but didn't have the heart to
wiring his throat and let him go.
That night we ran into our first rain
storm. Usually you try to avoid a
black squall. but in this case we
made 1t our business to get into it.
We had no experience in catching
water. but we used our shirts. socks
and handkerchiefs. We would get
them soaked up and wring-I was
the official wringer in our boat
wiring the water into the bailing
bucket, little rubber bucket. and I
would mouth it out of that and
force 1t into the compartments in
the Mae West life vests and then
we would ration it from there on.
For the first few days we were
rationed on the basis of two sips
per man. That is about one-half a
lieger. and then we were able to
catch more water and build it up.
During the storm Capt. Cherry's
boat went upside down and we lost
all of our flares. medical first-aid
kit and ether things and didn't get
them back The little boat broke
away, They padded after it and
brought it back and tied it up again
and we got through the storm.
But on the night of the 18th
this boy that died was getting
very low and in spite of the fact
that She temperature was 78 to 80
and the water was warm, the waves
were breaking over us continually.
and because of the combination of
wind it was like being doused with
ice water. So I moved him over
from the little boat into our boat
and cuddled him like a mother
would child. trying to give him the
benitlt of the warmth of my body,
and did for two nights, particu-
larly from midnight until daybreak.
The mist was deadly. The night he
died, in the evening he wanted to
get back into the little boat and
