...rejoined his crewmates on Olasana, he carved a message into a green coconut husk: nauro isl native knows posit he can pilot 11 alive need small boat kennedy. The skipper asked the two islanders to take the note to a naval base at Rendova Harbor, 60 km away. The pair sought out another scout, with whom they took the message to Australian Coastwatcher Reg Evans. Based on Kolombangara, Evans had been on watch the night PT 109 went up in flames.

...Washington steps away, but when other cheerleading teams start a game of Little Sally Walker on the lawn, the Henderson girls rush to join in, giggling. "Hey, girl, do your thing, do your thing," they chant as they circle two girls doing hip-hop moves in the middle. Another pair takes their place, and the singsong verse continues. With ponytails flopping, the 13- year-olds look as if they haven't a care in the world...
