CHAPTER XIII.

We started down the mountain
barely crawling. No light at all
came through the clouds and the
trees lining the road.
I tried standing on the running
board watching the roadside and
calling directions to Carlos, Hard
right, slow, straight, slow. slow"
With only mile or so to 60 be-
fore reaching the main road to
Manila we rounded corner and
our lights Illuminated the rear end
of a bus halted in the middle OF
the road. We saw 8 or 10 more
buses ahead of it. The buses were
in the middle of the road and we
couldn't get around them, so we
turned off our lights and coasted to
a stop.
Carlos walked up ahead to in
vestigate. He reported that it was
the convoy that our friend Mai
Garcia was sending to Manila. 1t
was commanded by another major
They had stopped while a scout car
went ahead to investigate If 1t was
still possible to get through, or if
the Japanese coming inland from
Da Mortis had already reached the
junction between our road and the
main highway to Manila. 1t was
about l:30 in the morning.
On our left, on the inside of the
road, the hills rose perpendicularly
for 100 feet. The river, which we
could hear but not see, was some
30 feet below the level of the road
on the right and the retaining wall
dropped steeply down for that dis
tance. We could see the tops of
the hills across the river about
$50 yards away, dimly outlined
against the sky. We got out of
the car and sat on the wall and
chatted with the Filipino boys, who
were smoking cigarettes and en-
joying themselves. Only few had
rifles and they told me, I'VE are
Filipino Scouts, sir, of the engi-
neers. There are so of us. The
rest are recruits"
Twice the convoy started and we
got back in our car, but each time
it moved only few feet and stopped
again.
The second time the soldiers re-
NAMED in their buses. while the
three of us got out and sat on the
wall. Juan was the first to hear it
Across the river. up on the hill
there was the noise of breaking
bushes and Of some one or some
thing descending the mountain.
Juan quavered, "Japs!"
In the darkness Carlos located
the major and called him back to
our car. We all listened and heard
the unmistakable sounds of many
people, or animals. coming down
the hillside
The major was excited. II have
only so men with rifles. No ma
chine guns. We had better run on
and take chance of making it."
just then we heard a loud ex-
plosion from ahead. "Ihey must
have blown the bridge at Klon-
dixie" Carlos said. I'VE can't get
through now. Well have to fight. ~
Major said, this looks like
good position to defend Nobody
can come down this hill on the
left, except human flies. We can
tip our car over on its side and
a few men can control the road
from the upper end. since they'll
have to come straight at us. They
can't climb this wall from the river
We can hold until nearly dawn and
then set fire to the buses and get
back up the road and into the hills
before their dive bombers get here
The major, by this time, was
jumping with nervousness. and
Carlos took over. He ran to the
