Despite economies in operations,
Capital Transit ended 1947 with a
net loss of $80,631. Operating ex-
penses were $4,000, 1893, or 10 per cent,
more than in 1916. Most of the in

pany had net gain of $914,528.
Revenue passengers in 1947 totaled
380,711, ,307, reduction of TIT per
cent since 1916, Mr.. Merrill said.

tered here since 1916.
Employees received $16,032,000 in
wages and salaries in 1947. Oper-

SINGAPORE, Aug. 6.-The Won
der waif of the Pacific is almost
grown up now. She's IL years old.
Patsy Ii, the little Chinese girl
who six years ago mysteriously
turned up in the midst of the
shooting war on Guadalcanal, today
Is studying the three RS in Singa-
pore school.
But she hasn't forgotten her days
with the United States Marines in
Gaudalcanal. She hasn't had
chance. Newspaper stories have
kept the memoty alive for her.
Little Patsy, like many a young
ster her age, is limelight- conscious.
But in her case what is usually a
mere stage" threatens to become
serious personality problem, &C
cording to her guardian. That's
why there are to be no more inter-
views.
A lot Of American Marines who
were on Gaudalcanal will remember
Patsy and wish her happily over
the rocky road of Adolescence.
AACy "Ad 1CAAiCuiDCI ilCl dS tIlC
six-year-old. very sick with malaria,
who one day in the heat of battle
was carried by natives to the Amer
lean lines. She had been found,
wounded and very i'll, in an
abandoned japanese camp.
The Marines adopted her and she
became famous as Patsy of Guadal-
canal"
/ Patsy had been separated from
her mother, Mrs. Ruth Ii of Singa-
pore, when the ship on which they
were escaping from Malaga was
torpedoed off The Netherlands In
dies in February. 1912. Mrs. Ii was
rescued. No trace was found Of her
child at the time.
| Three thousand miles from the
scene of the sinking, on Guadal-
canal an American correspondent
wrote up the story of the little
Chinese girl.
In New York Mrs. Ruth LIS sis
ter, a cancer research worker, read
the story and noted that the little
girl answered to the name of Patsy
1.-the name OF the little niece lost
in the torpedoeing of the Dutch
East Indies. She wrote to her sister.
1t was a clue-and the unhappy
Singapore mother flew to the
orphanage in the New Hebrides
where the girl had been placed and

recognized Patsy as her missing
daughter.
How she travelled the 5000 miles
from the place where the ship
sank to Guadalcanal, nobody knows.
Probably the japanese fished her
out Of the sea, adopted her and
brought her with them to Guadal-
canal. It's still a mystery to every
one, including Patsy.
Today in Singapore a growing up
Patsy often asks: Have you ever
met an American Marine They're
