South- communiques. west Pacific! airmen thus far in August have sunk or damaged 63 freighter-transports. Important U Japs . The American, t accustomed to man-sized ships, is apt to disre gard as unimportant the. mounting toll of these, small vessels. Actually they are vertebrae in Japan's ship ping backbone. As Japanese prisoner in late 1942, I traveled from Manila to Shanghai , aboard ' a ' freighter transport. She was the slatternly Maya Maru, 4000 tons of utility. The Maya could hold probably tOO , soldiers, under conditions to which Japanese troops are accus tomed ' Her additional cargo space was considerable, tvery square foot, seemingly, had been utilized. There were no comforts. Quarters Poor J , , , We slept in troop quarters astern. Two holds have been out fitted with double-decked wooden shelves, covered with thin straw matting. More than 200 of us were dumped in there civilian intern' ees, neutrals, British Indians, For mosan camp followers and a few Japanese officers. Nipponese sol diers were in similar quarters for' ward. High-ranking officers 6c eupied the ship's few staterooms. Each person had enough room to lie down, provided the , boat didn't toss. Amidships, the shelves widened, and sleeping there was T-formation. Additional holds, be neath us, held a troop of horses and considerable loot from Manila Galley on Deck " The galley was on deck. It con sisted of a few cauldrons for cook ing fish and rice, and two perpet ually bubbling barrels of tea. San itary facilities were mostly imagi native. The Maya was part of Japan's numerically large war-impressed fleet of coastal vessels and fishing boats. As Allied aerial and sub marine , warfare claims heavier shipping, Japanese replacements are hundreds of hastilyconstruct- ed small vessels. They hope that numbers, rather than tonnage, will hold their empire together. The freighter - transport is the key to this fleet in miniature, for it is vital in . military movements. Before striking farther northwest ward, MacArthur's 'H airmen are lashing at the ships which might carry reinforcements..
