had dumped most of its gas at
dawn, and couldn't proceed much
farther at high speed.
This was a rendezvous not only
for orr four MTB's, but also for
General MacArthur's second means
of escape-a submarine. Il had all
been carefully worked out, and the
submarine would bob up in this
cove tomorrow. Had we been at
tackled or broken down, the General
could have left us here, and con-
tinued his trip on down to Australia
by submarine.
General Macarthur, Admiral
Rockwell and Lieutenant Bulkeley
talked about the nights planS-the
ACCESSIBILITY of continuing with us
tonight or going by submarine, !"
went on Lieutenant Kelly. "The Ad-
miral was for staying with us, but
the General was undecided. The
afternoon trip had been rough, and
Bulkeley had warned the night
would be rougher. Yet as we lay
there in the cove, the sea seemed
calm enough, and the sky gave no
hint of bad weather. So on the as
surance of the Admiral that it would
be good weather, the General de-
cided they'd continue with us.
''Then, as Buckley had said,
there was the problem of what to
do with the 80 boat, which had
dumped much of her gasoline. She
did not have enough left to make
the fast run with us to the island of
Mindanao, where the Generals par
ty would get the plane for Australia.
So Bulkeley gave her different or
ders. Her generals were to be trans
ferred to my boat. She was to wait
here in the rendezvous until tomor-
row when the submarine arrived.
She was to tell the submarine that
everything had gone well, the Cen
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1943-07-30

eral had gone on to Mindanao and
would go to Australia by plane, as
planned. Having delivered this mes
sage, the 80 boat was to 60 to Iloilo
on the island of Panay, only one
hundred and twenty miles away.
There she could get repairs and
enough gas to bring her on down to
Cagayan to join the rest of us in
the other three boats, and we would
finish the war together in the SOUTH
ern islands.
"What went wrong with this plan,
we don't know to this day. The
boats commander, Lieutenant Schu-
macher, must have decided that it
wasn't in condition to follow these
orders. Anyway, when the subma-
rine arrived, he had it shell the
80 boat, so it would not fall into
Japanese hands, and boarded the
submarine, which dropped his crew
off at Corregidor, and took him safe
ly to Australia.
"We found out much later that he
had gotten to Australia. For some
time their disappearance was a
mystery, and Bulkeley here spent
several days flying out over all
those islands trying to find some
trace of the 80 boat. Some day, of
course, there will be full report
on exactly what did happen which
will explain everything.
"All we know is that we last
saw them back there in the cove
as we left the harbor-a hard r:sht
turn and then out to sea, at about
$50. We were leading, so that the
flagship, just behind us, could
search out the smoothest part of
our wake, so that MacArthur's par
ty could ride comfortably. We'd
been going about fifteen minutes
when the port lookout called Sail
ho!' and there she was-three points
on our port bow, distance about
five miles, Looks like an enemy
cruiser!' said the lookout. 1 grabbed
my binoculars, and so it was! Hull
down, but masts and superstructure
plain. On the course we were
steering we would cross her bow.
I gave the "a full right rudder and
full speed ahead-it was much fast
er than eighteen knots, because the
carbon had burned out of our mo-
tors. I knew that type of Jap cruis-
er could make thirty-fve knots with
all steam up. But unless they were

War Production Board 10
Shut Out Various
Small Plants

Under direction from the War
Production Board, Salmon Industry
representatives held recent meet
ing in Seattle for the purpose of
concentrating the industry for the
1943 season. The reason for the con-
solidation of the packing is given
as o shortage of labor and floating
gear, together with lack of ship
ping space northbound.
Committees have been appointed
from the industry for the purpose
of making a complete survey and
presenting plan to the War Pro-
duction Board. 1t. Seton Thomp-
son, OF the Navy. has been loaned
to the WPB to represent the board
in this matter. Thompson was form
erly with the Fish and Wildlife
Service. The committees have al
ready made their report and 1t has
been sent to Washington, D. c., for
approval.
Close Wrangell Plants
1t is understood that the plan
contemplates the. consolidation of
all three canneries at Wrangell to
operate as one plant. the harvest
Company, which means the closing
of the two other plants operated
by A. r. Breuger. In the Ket-
chikan area. Union Bay, Rose Inlet
and George Inlet are recommended
to close. In Ketchikan proper, three
independent plants are supposed to
close-Whizz Fish Company. Bal
com-Payne and Independent can
merry.
There has been considerable agi-
tation in Ketchikan over the closing
of the three plants in Ketchikan. The
Chamber of Commerce has inform
ed the committee in charge that
there is an adequate supply Of labor
available for the operation of all
canneries directly in Ketchikan.
They have also pointed out that the
closing of three other canneries in
that area will necessitate the opera
ton of every canning line avail
able if there is good run Of fish.
No Notice Oliver,
There was considerable criticism
of the fact that no notice was given
to Ketchikan or the seiners' union
in that vicinity. The closing Of
independent cannerieS where a large
percentage of the pack is composed
of seine fish has not been too fav-
orably received by the fishermen.
It is not known if the recon-
mendations of the committee will
be followed by WPB but 1t is APP
parent that there will be curtail-
ment of the salmon pack In Alaska
for the coming season.
