Japs Sighted
The quintet was stationed at a
remote island lookout post atop
a mountain when early in the
morning of Aug. 25 they sighted
a. small spot on the water.
Soon other spots appeared, and
presently tne Americans saw
that they were seven, large
launches, each containing about
30 Japanese.
HeRp's party notified head
quarters of the approaching Jap
anese. "Okay," headquarters replied,
"destroy your equipment, and
et going. Good luck."
Carrying a supply of hand
grenades, rifles and little else,
the Americans began their flight.
By this time the enemy had
landed a few miles away and
was headed toward the lookout
station.
"We went seven miles through
the jungles before we halted that
night," Heap related.
During the days that followed,
the quintet had a grandstand
view of an allied air raid on
Japanese warships possibly a
direot result of the tip the party
had radioed to headquarters.
The morning following the raid
the Americans found wreckage
on the beach, testifying that the
bombing had been successful.
Once a Japanese patrol passed

within 100 yards of the lookout
party. On a later occasion, allied
planes dived at their small boat
while they were attempting to
reach the mainland.
Picking up the story after
the first seven-mile dash into the
jungle. Heap said that the next
morning the party came to an
isolated spot on the beach and
discovered two abandoned can
oes.
"We took the one that looked
best to us and started paddling
like hell for the mainland," he
said. . "But we'd gotten only
about half a mile when the canoe
started to sink, so we turned
around. We had almost succeed
ed in reaching the shore when
the canoe sank. We swam the
rest of the way.
"We then decided to go to;
the opposite side of the Island. '
We rested one day in the moun
tains, and then at dawn made
our way to another island where
we spent five days walking
around and eating yams, paw
paws, and bananas. Some days
we walked 23 miles. We all had
blisters on our feet. The best
thing about that island was an
abundance of fresh water.
Double Quinine
"I ordered the men on double
quinine 20 grains daily be
cause we couldn't risk anyone
getting malaria.
"We started eating only one
meal a day, which we had late
in the afternoon. It consisted of
eating all the fruit we could
We had discovered that we
couldn't walk far if wa ate lots
of fruit in the morning and at
noon.
Ultimately, Heap related, "A
small boat was discovered and
made seaworthy. In this craft
the party made its way to the
mainland, and there contacted
allied troops. The men are now
all back on duty after a brief
rest.
"We discovered." Heap said
looking down at his oversized
new shoes, "that we could walk
a helluva long way if we have
to." .
