OFF ANTARCTIC COAST, Jan. IA
Diaries of the days passed on the
ice were kept by Capt. Henry II
Caldwell and by Photographers
Mate Owen McCarty.
After the shock of the crash which
left all dazed from 36 to 48 hours
they began to take stock Of their
situation. Much of their time at
first was passed sleeping or just
sitting. Aviation Radioman James
Robbins was the first to become
active and later was helped by
Aviation Machinist's Mate William
G. H. War;, who recovered next.
Robbins began to rummage around
the wreckage for food.
The plane had disintegrated to
such an extent that most of the
food supply had fortunately been
thrown clear of the plane before it
burst into flames. BY about Q o'clock
on December 81 he had found cans
of apricots which he served all
hands. On New Year eve he served
each man a cup of hot spinach soup
which was their first hot meal.
After eating all seemed to feel bet
ter and their spirits began to rise.
However, 1t. q. g. William N.
Kearns, 1t. q. g. Ralph Paul Le-
blanc and McCarty were not able
to get up.
Diversion Necessary.
AS the days went by the necessary
work provided any who could get
about with all the exercise they de-
sired. Soon it became necessary to
provide some form of diversion for
the long hours of wakeful waiting.
It was not easy. There were no
books, no radio, no cards, no games.
Pastimes had to be invented. Check
ers were made out of candy
charms for white men and malt discs
for black men. When this proved to
be one-sided, Capt. Caldwell and
War; taught the others how to play
salvo and many hours were whiled
away.
