peated. Below is listed the 1918

plans a reunion on the campus

‘and water.
proximately 200 feet where I could
see several small islands. I did not
know what group of islands they
were but I knew it would be impos-
sible for us to get much farther
as our gas was running low. I
picked up a sanded beach on one |
‘of the islands and decided to land.
We landed without much damage
at noon.
“Shortly after we landed, a man
and his wife were the only in-
habitants of the island) came up
to the airplane. My companions,
General Santos and Colonel Se-
| gundo, talked with him for several
minutes, verified our position, and
HR with him for some food
The old man went
away but soon returned with a
big pot of steaming rice, nine hard-
boiled eggs, and two large fresh
'cocoanuts, to us a feast. General
Santos gave him a peso, which 1
considered a most brilliant invest-
ment. The rain and wind continu-
|ing, we decided to stay in the
‘plane for the night. But shortly
after dark, the wind became so
strong, we decided to leave the
airplane for fear we would be
‘blown out to sea with it.
“I got my flash light out and we
started for the man’s hut. The
flash light soon went out and wc
had difficulty finding the house in
the torrential rain and very strong
wind. Holding hands in order not
to get lost and stumbling around
over most of the small island, we
finally reached the hut where we
spent a miserable night trying
to keep warm. We were also deeply
worried and concerned over the
| possible fate of Lieutenants Sales
and Francisco, who were flying the
other two ships.
“The leader of any flight in avia-
tion, regardless of the size, is al-
| ways responsible for his men that
are flying the other planes. In this
‘particular case, I figured that
| there was a possibility that both
Lieutenants Sales and Francisco
had become involved in even worse
difficulties than ourselves, and I
felt that, if the worst had hap-
‘pened, I would be responsible for
‘having led them to their death.
This was not only a source of
worry to me during the first night,
but for every night thereafter |
until Lieutenant Maxwell dropped
la note from his airplane advising
me that they had landed safely
‘near Infanta. That was the best
‘and most welcomed news that I
have ever received.
“Throughout the time on the
\island, the wind blew furiously and
we had continuous rain. We knew
it was impossible for airplanes to
make a search for us in such
weather conditions and decided
that we would have to remain lost
and unheard from for an indefinite
‘period, since it was impossible for
our host to take an banca and go
to Burdeos with a message.
“On the morning of December
10, the weather cleared and we
were found by searching planes.
The first plane could not land but
dropped us a message advising us
that Lieutenant Sales and Fran-
‘cisco had returned safely. This was
‘one of the best pieces of news that
‘I had ever heard.
“For Lieutenants Sales and
Francisco, pilots of the other two
‘planes, this was an invaluable,
never forgettable lesson. Certainly,
it was for me. I must say, too that
‘it was the worst predicament that
I have ever gotten into during
my flying career. I shall not seek
another.”
