TORTURE SURVIVED
HEROIC NATIVE POLICEMAN IM SOLOMONS. LONDON, September 27. An amazing story of heroism and endurance by a native policeman in the Solomons has reached Washington. A retired sergeant-major of police, he 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 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.
