UR' A group of twenty-five Delta sailors set out for Corregidor aboard the Special Services yacht, Miss Cibus Lunch facilities, which we had been led to expect, turned out to be little more than a canteen from the Philippine Army, with canned sardines, saltine crackers, and bottled drinks. But there was an excellent tour of the installations from which General McArthur made his last stand, and there was ample evidence ofthe horror and bravery ofthe defense of the Philippines. Twisted gun barrels, whitened skulls, and gutted barracks tell the story of the Japanese invasion of 1942. K ln addition to organized tours, there were informal visits to towns and schools in the Philippines and Japan. One group of Delta sailors visited the town of Dinalupihan in the Philippines. Following a wonderful lunch of local specialities with the mayor, there was a tour of the schools and farms of the village.
