No Japs In Santa Cruz
p. 40 · Read in the full issue
A TRADER of Vanikoro, Solomon Islands (Mr. Jones) has been told recently by the natives of Santa Cruz Island (south-east of Solomons) that the Japanese have made no land ings in that small group.
It was reported, early in 1942, that a Japanese force had been landed there, and some reports even had it that an enemy base had been established in Graciosa Bay. A few Japanese vessels were seen around the Santa Cruz group early in 1942, but nothing else occurred.
