have to be on hand before the others
could be withdrawn in order to keer

were manned by volunteers, mostly

holders.

Salvage officials said it was ap-
parent that much of the paper had
been saved in the months since the

houses gave at least one bundle and
in many instances individual con-
tributions totaled 300 and 400
pounds.

Catalina Patrol Planes
Sink Many Jap Ships
On Night Missions

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC ALLIED
HEADQUARTERS, Nov. 26.-The
Blach Cat dropped from the dark
ness of the night skies, gliding to-
ward Japanese convoy of mer-
chantmen and destroyers moving
north from Rabaul in the Bismarck
Sea.
Ignoring bursts of antiaircraft fire,
the big, numbering plane dropped
its bombs and flew away-leaving q
10 ,000-ton merchantmen blazing
from stem to stern not a bad
job for plane some experts termed
obsolete shortly after Pearl Harbor.
Black Cats, so labelled for their
color. for the fact they fly only at
night, and for their name Catalina,
have established an amazing record
Of all-weather flying, destructiveness
and safety.
No Men Lost.

the Japanese they have lost only
one plane-and no men.

Their startling record for safety
was in danger on one recent night
patrol, when 1t. q. g. Thomas L.
Hine of Cambridge, Mass, leveled
off over Jap submarine 5 miles
from an enemy-held island. He
dropped depth charge and it ex-
ploded prematurely, blowing the tail
off his plane.
He landed the ship on the water
and with eight crew members
climbed into a rubber boat. They
were too near japanese territory for
safety and padded frantically that
night and all next day toward the
south.
Drift Back Again.
The second night, exhausted from
the experience. all fell asleep and
when they awakened they found
they had drifted back almost to the
same island. Again they began
padding and although Japanese
planes flew overhead they succeeded
in working their way to a point
where they could be picked up by
an Army Catalina.
While 1t. Hine lost his plane, the
chances are good he got the sub
