Flying to Various Places
BY Pembroke Rees

On right the ocean, left the Skeleton Coast
the lonliest and most desolate land I've seen
We the last leg of the trip to Capetown flying
along the coast of Southwest Africa just south of Angola
Looking out at the desert from the arplane thought what
an awful place this would be to have forced landing The
country deserved it's name; completely bare and
had forbidding and sinister look.
For five hundred miles after we passed the Kunene river
which marks the boundary between Angola and Southwest
Africa there sign of lfe villages houses
trails to break down the dismal monotony of the coast
There was vegetation at ALL not small desert plants
The cliffs dropped sharply to the Every few miles
dry bed broke through the cliff to mark where there had

of the only it black and half covered with drifting

nothing more than manmade trails every few miles,

The only sign of that we saw in five hundred miles

ship that had tried to dodge
a submarine by turning to-
ward land. It had turned too
close and run aground. The
sea was calm and several of
the passengers went ashore.
The wind came up suddenly
and made the sea so rough
they could not get back. Those
who stayed with the ship were
rescued in a few days. Those
on shore were not rescued for
two months.
Near the end of the war a
bomber was forced down near
the coast. While waiting for
a rescue plane the crew ex-
plored the desert close by and
found the skeletons of several
men and animals lying in the
sand. The skeletons were those
of explorers lost along the
Skeleton Coast in the 1905.
Swakopmund, a town about
the size of CarrborO, was the
first town south of Baia dos
Tigros, a tiny fishing village
in southern Angola. 1t was
between Baia dos Tigros and
Swakopmund that. we flew
over the five hundred miles of
lonely desert.
After we landed at Cape
town a South African officer
told us that we had flown over
the Diamond Coast just north
of Swakopmund. Here dia-
mOnds are lying on top of the
sand. All a prospector has to
do is bend over and pick them
up.
The government of South
west Africa built a fence at
Swakopmund and made tres
passing on the Diamond Coast
a criminal offense. Anyone
caught there is fined $4,000.
This is to keep the diamond
market from being glutted.
