LOSS OF MALAMA
SUNK BY JAPANESE
NEW YORK, October 25
A plane launched by a Japanese raider bombed and sank the unarmed Matson liner Malama, which disappeared in January, 1942, 600 miles southwest of Tahiti, en route to Wellington. The chief mate, Gordon Pollard, who has been repatriated after captivity in Shanghai, said the plane warned the crew to abandon the ship. Later the raider appeared and picked up the crew and five army men from the lifeboats.
