Ghost-Laying!

The Japanese Government may send an expedition to the BSIP in 1974 to see if some Japanese soldiers are still living on San Jorge Island, off Santa Y sab el. It has been reported that 37 soldiers were abandoned there when US aircraft destroyed their transport during the Japanese retreat. One of their comrades in Japan believes some of them are still living on the island.
PIM, which is a “must” for reading in Japan by government and businessmen interested in the South Pacific, posed the question of the presence of Japanese soldiers on San Jorge in an article by geologist John Grover —San Jorge’s ghosts and things that go bump in the night—in the January issue. Some of the “ghostly” visi tations related by Mr Grover could be explained by the presence of a “forgotten” company of soldiers.
