HEROIC NATIVE POLICEMAN
LONDON, September 27. A remarkable story of heroism and endurance by a native policeman in the Solomons has reached Washington. A retired sergeant-major of police was engaged on a secret mission when he was captured by the Japanese. They did everything they could to make him divulge the whereabouts of the American troops. He was bound to a tree and jabbed in the arm, the shoulder, and the face with a bayonet. Then he was stabbed in the stomach and left for dead. When he revived, he crawled back to the American lines, and before he was rushed to hospital insisted on making a full report.
