Ends Missionary Trip
BELLIN'GHAM, Wash.. Dec.
12. (.B Two former G.I.'S who
set out In a small sloop two
weeks ago to carry Bibles and
relgious "help" to Gilbert Island
natives were back home today
after drifting and tossing tor
nearly a week off the Washing
ton coast.
The two 23-vear-old youths.
Marvin Norsteilt and Jack Maier.
both of Bellingham, left seattle
Nov. 2S for a coral atoll in the
Southern Gilbert Islands to re
pay natives there who had aided
Staler and other seamen when
their freighter was shipwrecked
during the war.
Their storm - battered 35 -foot
sloop, the Despy, was picked up
by a trawler off Tatoosh Island
last Saturday and towed into
Neah Bay where they made re
pairs. "We ran Into some waves 50
feet high, which was too much
for us," Norstedt said. "We lost
our life raft and drifted about a
week."
"Apparently this is the end of
our missionary trip."
Magellan claimed the Philip
pine Islands for Spain in 1521
but colonization did not begin
until 1565.
