What name you stop along this sde?" he

told him OF the wreck, that all hands were
lost, and that his people were welcome to any
thing they could salvage
They got their canoes into the water quick as
lizards, singing, shouting and forgetting about
me. But the girl didn't She took my arm and
led me into the Chiefs house. She brought tiny
raw fish which, 10 my surprise, tasted fine. A
coconut milk stew Of fish and taro came next,
then moueS lemons.
The islanders worked for three days loading
their canoes with copper nails, pots and pans,
tableware, canvas, timbcrs, until a gale came up
and the Auckland slid into deep water Nothing
was too good for me-. Not even that pretty little
brown girl who'd brought me ashore
There were three villages on the island. To the
east the land was higher than on the lagoon side

Local Guardsmen
Believed On North
New Guinea Coasi

The whereabouts Of the Nogales
National Guard company in the
South Pacific became apparent with
the arrival here this week of War
Department kilograms announcing
two deaths in combat and two seri-
GUS wounds among personnel of the
only large group of local soldiers
fighting as unit.
Sarm1, New Guinea, was the point
mentioned in all the kilograms as
the place where the casualties oc-
Cured. The community lies about
100 miles northeast of Hollandia-
where Macarthur recent invasion
of the northern part of the big is
land occurred-and is on the coast
It is in the vicinity of the Tor
River where press dispatches list
the heavy fighting as Jungle war
fare"
The obvious conclusion is that the
local company is taking part in the
campaign to wipe out japanese units
which fled into the jungle following
the invasion which has as its goal
clearing New Guinea of japanese
and completing one more step in
the island-hopping drive aimed at
recapture of the Philippines.
Very little data is available on the
vicinity of the present drive, and it
is presumed that Sarmi, like Hol-
landia, was only small trading and
missionary center prior to the war
militarily important because Of Jap
anese airdromes and other installa-
tions carved out of the tropical
jungle.

cate of probable cause for appeal of
his case to the supreme court, but
was denied liberty under bond

Such being the case, he could have
remained in the county Jail, but the

been credited against his sentence.
