ty came upon the buildings a
blaze with light and opened up
with machine guns to draw the
enemy’s fire.
“However, no response com
ing, they entered the houses.
American soldiers stationed
there promptly fled, leaving
half-drunk cups of coffee still
hot, mutely testifying to their
hurried exit. Even before an
chors went overside building
materials for making the p ace
livable and air defense facilities
were being unlimbered. Almost
ovi might the barren outpost
took on the aspect of throbbing
life with buildings being con
structed, roads laid out and
anti-aircraft batteries set up for
an expected visit from Dutch
Harbor.”
The account said that on the
third day of occupation with no
enemy action yet reported, the
correspondent was visited by the
commander of the expedition

correspondent for lack of more
coloiful material. The officer
said it was too bad the enemy
did not show fight and asked
‘did you get enough materia)?’ ”
Vice-President Steve Harvey did
the presiding. Some of the boys
of the club, to show their ap
preciation to Steve, secured him
a gift. Frank Hermann made the
presentation speech. The gift? A
small wooden gavel, slightly
worn, on a leather thong.
