these islands, on that account.
Wanted Friendly Landing.
l was concerned at once about
learning to control the raft, tigur-
Ing our ways and means of working
toward the larger islands that
knew to be in friendly hands.
The geography of this part of the
Pacific was far from a mystery to
me. Every day in the ready room
l had studied the charts. and had
a mental picture of where every
island was. So I knew from the
beginning just where l wanted to

that raft drift aimlessly, guided only
by the shifting winds. We were
without rudder, oars or canvas. but
still / was determined to sail that
raft If l could And I maintain
that l did sail it. l worked like
the devil to sail it, and I resent
any ones saying we "drifted."
Controlling our crafts progress
was my first concern because. while
we were entirely without food or
water, there was nothing any of us
could do about this but wait for
the Lord to send us a shower. and
bring some food where we could
catch it. I figured the Lord would
help those who helped themselves.
so I set out Immediately to take
every bit of advantage that l could

it gave us something regular to do.
In fact, our prayer meeting" was
to become the high spot OF our
evenings.
Tony was good -humored about
religion. Il quit, see? This night
was standing around the corner
with the fellas and this preacher
comes along, and I don't pay much
attention, and then this preacher
goes and talks about me because I
don't tip my cap to him. Made me
sore" So Tony, disgusted, would
have nothing more to do with for
mai religion.
Aldrich Suggests Prayers.
Aldrich. on the other hand, had
a deep streak OF piety. His brother
was a preacher. 1t was Gene who
suggested our prayer meetings.
Gene is more of farm boy:
his home is in Sikeston, Mo- He
is younger than Tony, just %, and
had been in the Navy only Is
months. He had put in some time
in the CCC as cook, and for our
meals" as we became really
hungry, he cooked us many hypo-
thetical dinners, with Tony, who
for time had been a sandwich
man" in the Cs, offering sugges-
tions. Before the trip was over
Gene was talking seriously about
trying for transfer to the Navy
cooks department, and I think he
will.
Cooking PLAYED a large part in
Genes early life. His father was
a railroader. a section foreman, and
Gene recalled that it used to be
favorite stunt of his and his
fathers to go out about 4 clock In
the morning to shoot squirrels for
their breakfast. 1t seems there are
a lot of squirrels in Missouri.
One of Genes concerns on the
trip was $1,000 life insurance pol
icy he had taken in favor of his
mother. He wondered if she had
been able to get it yet, Money was
scarce around Genes home. Gene
joined the Navy after finding that
he didn't like the CCC. The spirit
of adventure got him, and he
thought he could do better and get
more schooling in the Navy. He
had had one year of high school,
working to put himself through.
Talking it over, Gene shook his
head quizzically. "If mother could
see me nowr
Well, she wouldn't have liked the
look Of it. The wind this morn
ing was in the southeast, blowing
us toward group of islands which
we presumed to be deserted. How

The news was in the adventure, not
the men--but men make adventure
just as much as adventure makes
men. Through coming to know
Tony, in the long days and nights
ahead, I obtained a better under
standing of these sons of for
eigners' who form such large per-
centage OF the young men who sail
our ships and planes and man our
guns.
Tony's parents came from Po-
land, neither his father nor his
mother speaks English at home.
His father is landscape gardener,
now caretaker of an estate in
Youngstown, which belongs to a
prominent newspaper publisher
there. Tony helped his father,
spare time and summers, until he
got tired of depending on the
folks" and joined the Navy. Before
that he had been in the Civilian
Conservation Corps. Gene Aldrich
was CCC boy, too. Neither he
nor Tony had any background OF
the sea. I, of course, had long
training on the sea which was to
stand me in good stead here, but
my business now is flying.
Joined In 1899.
Tony, like many others, Joined
the Navy in 1899 because he believed
his country would soon be at war
Previous to that his contacts with
the military had been with the
Army. Among his jobs in the CCC
during his two bitches of 1887 and
1888 was driving Army convoy
trucks.
Tony had stern independence in
his nature which brought him
steeply around two milestones in
his young life. One was when he
left school.
This course, I was doing all
right, see?" Tony explained. Il
didn't expect no A, but / thought
I oughta get a B or anyways a c.
and that woulda been all right. I
never cared about making the best
marks in school, see, long as I
learned the stuff. WE'LL 1 had that
course down good and when I got
that report card and saw that big
shiny r, just said"
Never mind what he said; he
just walked out of that senior high
school and never went back.
The other crisis concerned re-
hgion. Tony had been brought up
in the Catholic faith. The only
prayers he knew were in Polish.
We all did some praying on this
trip, first because it worked couple
of times and we were willing to
keep trying again and later because

OF myself ara OF several shipmstes
who had tried these boats in the
water that. being fiat and smooth
bottomed. the raft would sail along
smartly in the wind. 1t soon be-
came apparent that the raft was
not only responding satisfactorily
to the push of the wind. but that
she had no tendency to yaw. She
remained steadily lengthwise of the
trough of the sea.
Thus the raft presented her en-
tire length to the force of the
wind, with the inflated sides acting
as sail of sorts.
About l8 hours after We went into
the water, the wind shifted TO the
northwest and started driving us
south. We were still in the hands
of the fates and had to 90 with
the winds. There were islands di-
rectly ON our course now. but we
were afraid the Japs had taken
possession of these. We were not
at all anxious to fall into their
hands, as we believed they were in
no mood to take prisoners of war,
even castaways.

Then the plane came and went.
We sank back, spent by our futile
effort to attract the pilot Tony
and I were facing each other from
opposite sides of the raft Gene
sat on the after thwart. He was
still gazing hopefully after the
speeding scout-now rapidly be-
coming smaller. Tony was watching

For a moment my heart was in

for Tony weeks later recalled to
me every word With that single
statement I almost killed the hope
in Tony's game soul, for the time
being He did not realize then
that I still had cards to play
Gene was by no means dispirited
"Shucks, maybe he saw us and is
going back for help" he suggested,
confidently. He was enthusiastic all
day. He expected any minute to
see a destroyer or another plane.
l had made one slip and was care
full not to make another. So I agreed
heartily with Gene and never men
toned what was in my mind. All
that day lied cheerfully and let
the boys think we had good chance
to be rescued. Secretly I was TAX
ing stock of our position with a
view to sailing that tiny craft, with
out oars or sails, to the nearest
friendly island. Our situation was
complicated by the possibility that
certain islands in the vicinity might
now be IN the possession of the Jap
anese. I had no illusions as to what
would happen to us all if we fell into
the hands of enemies on some re-
mote atoll.
Tony Makes Plans.
Despite his low spirits at the mo-
ment, the tenacity for life in Tony's
stanch Polish nature asserted itself
quickly, and he began to consider
practical means of making our sit
uation better. He paid no more at
tention to the sky but silently
searched in the inside of the raft
with his eyes. He began rummaging
In the oar pocket.
"Ah!" he exclaimed with salts
faction.
He held mirror of stainless steel,
placed in the oar pocket obviously
as Photographic signaling device.
For the rest of the day Tony prac-
ticed with the mirror, flashing it in
the sun, so he would know how to
hse it If the occasion arose.
Tony liked everything that re-
auired him to use his hands. He had
taken {. mechanics course an high
school, and after the war, when he
leaves the Navy, he hopes to work
In a machine factory.
