Effective 3^ Oct. the local Red Cross 
office was closed and services in the 
future will be handled via the Red 
Cross Field Director's office Pearl 
Harbor (Navy FPO 128 SF), Service for 
Kwajalein and Eniwetok residents will 
BE ON THE SAME BASIS AS IT HAS BEEN FOR 
SOME TIME FOR U.S. MILITARY AND CIVIL¬

Wake, Antartica, Australia and New Zea¬ 
land. Red Cross services are not being 
WITHDRAWN BUT MERELY RECHANNELED, 
This change has been deemed necessary 
by the Red Cross due to the limited case 
load locally and the fact that local 
residents are predominantly civilians 
WHO DO NOT REQUIRE THE EXTENSIVE SER¬ 
VICES OF A COMPLETELY MILITARY STATION.

TRIBUTED, OUTUNG HOW EMERGENCY COM¬ 
MUNICATIONS AND OTHER SERVICES CAN BE 
HANDLED VIA THE EMPLOYEE'S OWN CIVILIAN

of the lagoon. After about an hour on 
THE WATER, THE DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR ON 
THEIR OUTBOARD MOTOR CRACKED AND LEFT 
THEM HELPLESS. A TEMPORARY REPAIR 
LASTED ONLY A SHORT TIME, AND THEY BE¬ 
GAN TO TAKE STEPS TO ATTRACT ATTENTION 
TO THEIR PLIGHT, BY MAKING USE OF 
FLARES ABOARD THE BOAT, AND BY USING 
TWO FISHING POLES AND THEIR SHIRTS TO 
FASHION A COMBINATION DISTRESS SIGNAL 
AND SAIL. 
When their absence was noted by a 
ROUTINE SECURITY CHECK ON Ro1 NAMUR AT 
5:45 IN THE AFTERNOON, AUTHORITIES WERE

URES WERE IMMEDIATELY SET IN MOTION. 
Two Global planes and Mike-boats from 
Roi Namur were dispatched to search for 
THE MISSING FISHERMEN, BUT BARELY AN 
HOUR LATER ALL THREE GAVE UP IN THE 
DARKNESS. 
At 6 THE FOLLOWING MORNING TWO GLOBAL 
PLANES AND ONE FROM THE NAVY'S SEA AND 
Air Rescue squadron returned to the 
search. Shortly thereafter, three J- 
Boats on fishing trips from Kwajalein 
WERE ALERTED TO LOOK OUT FOR THE BOAT, 
Two Chaplain’s flights from Kwajalein . 
ALSO JOINED THE SEARCH. i 
At IO:am the search patterns were re- j 
ORGANIZED, ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEER SCAN¬ 
NERS WERE PICKED UP FROM Ro ! AND THE 
SEARCH CONTINUED, 
At 10:45 am two AVR boats left the 
Kwajalein Marine department to join the ! 
effort. 
TO 
At 12:10, one of the Global planes 
WHICH HAD DROPPED TO A LOW ALTITUDE 
SCAN THE LAGOON AND ISLAND BEACHES, 
SPOTTED THE BOAT TWO MILES INSIDE THE 
LAGOON BETWEEN NORTH PASS AND MELLU 
Pass, west of Roi. Twenty minutes later! 
THE HAPLESS FISHERMEN WERE PSCKED'UP BY 
ONE OF THE TWO KWAJALEIN AVR' S , 
The SPOTTING plane was piloted by 
John Tucker and Ace Alexander of Global 
Associates* Aviation Department, Dick 
Joyce was navigator. The scanner who 
spotted the boat was Ted Achee of Roi
