Sure enough, in the next four days l
rounded up a dozen pieces of junk he'd sold
my outfit You see, this defense battalion
had come in too late to get in on the loot.
The old fox had even cut stencil for the
personal battle flag those Jap marines wore,

through the bait.
''Then they dug cache in one of the
old dugouts we were using for an air
raid shelter, and covered it over real
Nip-fashion with some planks and dirt.
That evenin', right after chow, head
for the machine shop. Hey, joe says,
got shovel l can borrow for minute?
Sure he says, but what the hell do you
want with shovel?'
WELL says l, last night while the raid
was on, was clear to the back of our dug
out, and I'm pretty sure discovered a Jap
cache Sounded hollow when stepped on it.
Right away old Joe got excited and l
knew he was hooked. For sure says l,
when he wants to 60 along, but remember
the loots mine if there be any,.
A Nice Profit
well, found the cache all right and Joe
fell like ton of bricks. The boys had dirtied
up his pretty little jobs till hardly recog-
nized EN- myself After brisk round of real
old Yankee bargaining, Joe bought the
whole lot for five hundred buckeroos. When
Id given the boys back their dough l had
