PACIFIC CONVOYS
Not A Ship Lost (11.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 24. It is reported from Pearl Harbour that Captain Richard Coffman, senior Pacific convoy commander, who has never lost a ship, told reporters that Pacific convoying was a tremendous success. Japanese information of convoy movements was not so good as the Germans, also that the crippled Japanese surface forces had not the strength to spread their fangs eastward in the Pacific. He added: “We know that the offensive barometer will soon rise in the South Pacific and we should go to town. We are building something in that area, and I do not mean maybe.”
