formation was sketchy. The fast
retreating army was exposed to

He said the U. S. Marines and
Seventh Infantry Division must
fight their way through a moun

reservoir to the escape port of
Hungnam or be evacuated by air.1
“There is only one make-shift'
airstrip. Perhaps two divisions
could be airlifted from it but the

wrrote.
Air observers said the Red Chi
nese were still pouring into Ko

long convoy was sighted moving
toward the Changjin reservoir
area, probably aiming to seal the
fate of the holed-in Marines and
Doughboys.
Other large Chinese units spear

great east coast port of Wonsan,

the 10th Corps. If these two twin
drives are successful the 10th
Corps faces possible annihilation.

and states in a recent letter that
he has been ‘busy trying to* get a
little wood hauled for the winter.
Early in October he went across
the bay he states, and was storm
bound for four days without food.
Most of the people of that area
are getting ready to leave for an
