TELLS HIS STORY

iELbS His SlOhf
JackSon's story follows:
I'VE were told early in the
evening we were going TO inter
cept the Tokyo Express (nick-
name first applied to Japanese
ships supplying Guadalcanal
forces and in this case ships
above new Georgia Island pre-
sumably bringing aid TO the
menaced Munda air base) and to
expect action at midnight.
Il went flying TO the bridge
Approximately at 1870 a. m.
(July g., targets were reported.
1--WE closed and the whole
force opened a terrific salvo.
After six minutes of continuous
firing, two Jap cruisers disap-
peared.
I'VE saw a Jap destroyer
standing in and fired a salVo at
her which hit with binding
flash. Then something hit us.
The order to abandon ship was
given. 1t was pitch dark and ev-
erything was covered with oil
from the ships vitals
OIL COVERS WATER
Il got my camera and went to
the quarterback. The sailors
were slashing RATS loose and
jumping overheard and | went
over the side. The water was
thickly covered with oil.
Il padded five minutes and
reached a raft on which were 30
other men. There wasn't room
for me so ! chung on life lines in
the water.
Il looked back and saw the
ship like a great ghost against
the gun flashes. She was sinking
and seemed TO be dragging us
back. We padded and rowed
madly. One man was crying out,
come on sailors. give it hell
SETTLED QUIETLY
eve cleared her and she set
tied quietly and disappeared.
Il heard fellows calling for
help all around but there was
little | could do. We sighted an
other raft and dashed both to-
gether. All the while, we felt
the conclusion Of shells explod-
ing in the water as the battle
continued.
Someone saw the outline OF a
ship and RATS started flashing
lights all over the place. Then
the officer called out 'douSc the
lights, they be Japs.'
I'VE saw searchlights. We
were afraid of going ashore on
Kolombangara (island on the
Kuls Gulf above New Georgia.

timist. Ivan A. Johnston will
speak over the loudspeaker
while the sub is displayed.
Clark today emphasized the
fact that purchasers OF any Bond
or Stamp may view the interior
of the sub from a specially con-
structed catwalk. Windows in
the side of the captured sub Will
give spectators a clear view Of
the interior, whereas in Detroit,
where the sub is now stationed,
only a fleeing view is possible.
The 94-foot long sub will be
hauled down Gratiot on a spe-
cially constructed trailer. The
crack Selfridge Field Band and
a police escort will precede it.
The catwalk will be erected
by eight members of Oskar An
dreas Post, VIEW, and torn
down by eight others, all mem
bers of Harry Ollrich post,
American Legion.
Normally the sub would weigh
from 80 to 35 tons but today,
with its torpedoes, demolition
charge and motor removed and
exact replicas of lighter material
substituted, il weighs only II z
tons.
1t carries two torpedoes, 10
feet long, l9 inche in diameter,
each of which weighed 1850
pounds and a 800 pound nitro
glycerin charge TO blow itself
up.
The cruising range was $50
miles, surface speed Id knots,
submerged six TO eight knots.
Because batteries could not be
recharged, the sub had to sur
face when energy was expended
After firing the terPedees the
sub would seek third target
dive under il or come alongside
it and the officer would touch
off demolition charge, destroy
ing the crew, the sub and the
target.
Malcolm Moore, former Mount
Clemens newspaperman, was on
duty as public relations officer
when a plaque was dedicated in
the Hawaiian islands in honor OF
the capture of the sub. He was
in charge of the dedication, it is
understood.
