    / VOL. XXV. NO. 90 The ObserverFRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19,1993 THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER SERVING NOTRE DAME AND SAINT MARY'S Ferry sinks, at least 1 ,000 dead PETIT GOAVE, Haiti (AP} - A packed ferry carrying up to 1,500 people .sank in stormy seas off Haiti, and only 285 people were known to have survived, the Red Cross said Thursday. Survivors told how they clung to floating objects, in one case a bag of charcoal, to stay alive. "The sea was full of people," said one survivor, 29-year-old Madeleine Julien, from her hospital bed in this coastal town. "I kept bumping into drowned people." The ferry Neptune went down late Tuesday off Petit Goave, 60 miles west of the capital. But communications are so crude outside the capital it took a group of about 60 survivors a day to first report the accident. U.S. aircraft and vessels dispatched Thursday to help in search-and-rescue efforts reported "lots of debris and lots of bodies," said Coast Guard spokesman, Cmdr. Larry Mizell, liaison in Port-au­ Prince. The Coast Guard said it had found more than 100 bodies floating off Petit Goave. Bodies were earlier reported washing up on the beaches of Miragoane, 18 miles to the west of Petit Goave. Mizell said there was "no correlation between this and the boat people," referring to the tens of thousands of Haitians who have fled their homeland by sea since the army ousted elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991. One survivor, Benjamin Sinclair, told the Photo Courtesy ot 1:!111 Mowle private Radio Metropole that as many as Irish Impact 1,500 people were aboard the triple-decker Bill Mowle, the Managing Editor/Photo Editor of the Dome, kicked off a poster benefit for South Bend's Center for the Homeless.

  • Jeeps, Communists, and Quonset Huts: World War II Surplus Disposal in the Territory of Hawai‘I Gwen Sinclair
    Jeeps, Communists, and Quonset Huts: World War II Surplus Disposal in the Territory of Hawai‘i gwen sinclair In the waning days of World War II, the Honolulu Advertiser pub- lished a prescient article by a reporter named Gerry Burtnett about military surplus disposal: The disposal of surplus property in Hawaii is going to be one of the big- gest stories of the last days of the war and the postwar period. It may be a rather unpleasant story, from present indications.1 Disposal of war surplus in Hawai‘i was a big story, judging from the hundreds of newspaper articles about it published between 1945 and 1950. As soldiers, sailors, and marines returned home and life in the Territory began to be shaped by peacetime concerns, surplus disposal became an important industry in the Territory of Hawai‘i and in the nation as a whole. The disposal of surplus property captured the attention not only of the surplus-consuming public, but also of Congressional investigating committees. This paper will examine the effects of surplus disposal, why surplus held people’s attention for so long, and the major events and key people involved with surplus dis- posal in the Territory of Hawai‘i. Gwen Sinclair is a librarian and Head of the Government Documents & Maps Department at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Library. Her publications and research interests range from government secrecy to presidential executive orders and proclamations relating to federal property in Hawai‘i.
