Thanks to the initiative of these officers, the first ship ment of American foodstuffs and medicines was loaded aboard a small partisan blockade runner In an Italian Adriatic port on October 10 one month after Broz established the equiva lent of an allied bridgehead on the Dalmatian coast. Soon dozens of little caiques and schooners were swarming into allied ports along the Ital ian east coast flying the red, white and blue flag of Croatia, with the red star in the center of the middle white stripe. All were manned by naval personnel of Broz's forces. They were former merchant seamen and fishermen whose seafaring ancestry runs back for centuries. The amount of American supplies immediately available for the partisans was 250 tons. The partisan fleet quickly transported this across the Adriatic, distributing it to brigade commanders bolh on the mainland and on the Dal matian islands.

He slept one night in a partisan home less than five miles from a strong German garrison. He and his partisan escort carried tommyguns at all times but they succeeded in avoiding con tact with the enemy. The second American officer, a lieutenant, worked a 24-hour shift, checking and guarding supplies at the main Adriatic port and supervising their cor rect delivery to partisan naval skippers. As far as bolstering Broz's partisans was concerned, Sep tember was a lost month. By mid-October, however, the tiny American supply mission had made things hum. On October 16, allied censor ship permitted this correspond ent to write that "the first trickle of allied supplies is now beginning to reach Drug Tito (Broz) and his army along the Adriatic coast." But the story behind this could not be told and even now some details must be withheld, including names of the two officers who did more than "carry a message to Garcia." One hundred pounds of waste paper will make 115 boxes each of which holds 10 20mm. shells.
