WRITES OF THE
HORRORS OF WAR
(Omitted Last Week.
Omitted Last Week.

In a community such as ours we
had to organize to keep things going
as we had no help of any kind Thus
we had to help ourselves. We had
our Sanitary Squad, Gardening Di-
vision, Kitchen Staff, Police Uutility
Department, Library and Canteen.
The American club donated their
books which we managed to get down
to the Prison. At times we had
things for sale in the Canteen, such
as candies, tobacco, etc. However,
there were so many people to supply
that we seldom if ever had enough
to go around, in consequence of
which it was not opened more than
three days a month and then it was
almost hopeless to get anything, as
the lines was so long and people wait
ed half day in the hot sun to make
a few miserable purchases. Tobacco
was a luxury, not often obtainable.
Matches likewise For weeks at a
time we would have none. / smoked
pine needles, dried papaya leaves,
cocoanut husks and coffee grounds,
as did others. Cheap Chinese ciga-
rettes were sometimes smuggled in
by Chinese Police and Indians Guards
Cigarettes that sold for 10 Hong
Kong cents when conditions were
normal and which we would not then
smoke under any conditions, we were
glad to get at $3.50 Hong Kong per
package of 10. Fellows who could
not afford them at this price follow

butt, and accumulated enough tobac-

picking up butts, for after short
time money reached all Socony men
in amounts that made US able TO buy
what we needed when it was avail
able. Matches we're so difficult to
get that whenever one was struck,
men popped up like magic asking for
a light, and you could never complete
the smoking of cigarette without
giving several people lights, all of
which helped to consume your prec-
ious cigarette.
I joined the gardening division and
tried to raise vegetables. Some of
the agricultural men had seeds, and
we made good progress considering
the fact that the soil was just about
worthless. There was deep we'll in
the garden and we pulled the water
up in five gallon oil tin on rope.
When the tin was completely full it
required several of us to get it up,
as we were so weak from lack Of food
that we had no strength and fire.

who formerly occupied me prison had
buried il in deep holes at a depth OF
about 10 feet. The japanese gave US
permission TO dig it up, and as it
was buried out of bounds, all of US
assigned to this working party were
furnished a piece Of red cloth which
we fastened on our shirts, and Indian
Guards were stationed over us with
their guns ready to fire should we
make an attempt to escape. 1t help
ed our vegetables and we added a
little to the community pot. Aside
from growing these vegetables we
had to do detective work to stop the
thievery of them, as certain individ-
uals thought they would enjoy them
alone rather than let the community
benefit.
Thus life went on in camp,-we
were always hungry, always tired,
hoping always to be rescued. We
went on from day to day and the
flame of hope was pretty low when
on June 80 we set sail for Lorenzo
MARQUES, Portuguese East Africa, in
accordance with the repatriation plan
whereby we were exchanged for Jap
anese sent to Africa on the M. S.
Gripsholm. With freedom in sight
we made rapid improvement and re-
ioiced beyond understanding when
we finally reached our native shore.
The Japanese expected extreme po-
likeness from all their prisoners
when an officer approached we were
obliged to remove our hats and what
ever we happened to be smoking, and
stand at attention.
In one instance a group OF our peo-
pie were sitting on concrete ledge
on a hill in the prison compound.
They were looking around and chat
ting in a harmless way when this
was noticed from the main prison be-
low in which japanese troops were
quartered Japenes officers immed-
lately hurried by car to the scene,
lined up all the people and explained
how i'll bred they were to look down
on the Japanese from heights above,
and then proceeded to slap all those
in the party.
On one occasion several Of my
comrades were slapped and pushed
around and beat up with the end of
a bayonet due to the fact that Japa-
nese officers entered their room and
found a map of the Orient drawn
there without Japan having been
mentioned. One of my friends offer
ed to draw Japan in its proper place,
but was told that all of that terri
tory was Japan, and they were or
dered to wash the drawing from the
wall. They were fortunate enough
to escape with no more than beatings.

RESCUE AND REUNION
CHAPTER XIV

A faint hope, or perhaps only
b sorrowful curiosity, prompted
Clyde Dawson to telephone the
port commander who had told
him of Carole Fiske's disappear
nnce aboard the torpedoed
steamer Fort Glcngarry.
'"Captain." he said, Il recall
that the girl I'm hunting was
given accommodation in cabin
with an officers wife. Can you
tell me where l could find this
rescued woman"
"She was brought TO the st.
Johns General Hospital, the
naval officer replied. Let me
call the hospital and find out if
she is able to see you. III ring
you back"
With permission of the head
doctor, the commander arranged
a short interview with the sur
Viving woman passenger. Daw-
son found her waiting for him
in the sun porch. Pausing only
to congratulate her on being
saved, he asked if she knew
Carole Fiske.

The woman covered her face
with her hands. Dawson, with

walked slowly from the ward.
For the second time within an
hour he walked unseeing through
the wintry streets of st. Johns,

and of passers-by. Clyde Dawson
