the Philippines to the China
Coast in the days before World
War II.
Born a banama boat and con-
verted by the Navy in the early
1920‘s, she had one stack and
she wolbbled in the sea as if she
| were top heavy.
For 24 years she’s been sitting
on the bottom of the deep n a t-
ural harbor in the Bay of Mari-
veles on the Bataan Peninsula.
This week she got her name
in the paper when the Navy
sent divers down to retrieve her
ship’s bell for sentimental use
aboard a new ship of the same
name.
The diver were too late. Wire
services reported that Canopus
—sunk by the Japanese as Ba-
taan fell—already had’ been
stripped of her bell and other
fittings by underwater scaven-
gers.
The report stirred memories
’for John Waldrep, 46-year-old
clerk for Southern Pacific Co.,
in Dallas. He’d been a yeoman
second class aboard the 380-man
Canopus.
He revealed that the Japenese
; didn’t sink Canopus.
She committed hari-kiri.
"Canopus was good duty,”
said Waldrep this week. There
was plenty of liberty, and the
ship’s baker was known through-
out the fleet for his cherry pies.
Then Japanese planes bomlbed

she was tied up in Narivela Bay. I dor.
A bomb pierced several decks
and broke her propeller shaft.
She was able to tend her
subs until they withdrew. But
she was crippled. Crewmen lit
oily rags to send up s m o k e
through the bomb holes so the
Japs would think she was hard'-
er hit than she really was.
During the days before Ba-
taan crumbled, Canopus became
a popular gathering spot at
night for Army officers and
nurses.
There were decent showers,
cold drinking water and good
food served on white linen.
A bomb had destroyed the
supply office records, so every
thing was free.
Canopus men joined Ameri-
can and Philippine land’u n i t s
fighting the invaders. Crewmen
rigged out three of the ship’s
40-foot motor launche with field
pieces and boiler - plate ar-
mor. They were used for shelling
Japanese troops along the coast.
They were called Mickey Mouse
battleships.
B ythe end of April’s first
week in 1942, the jig clearly was
up. Jap troops were storming in,
For
Waldrep, Corregidor
meant capture and years of
prison in Manchuria. On Dec.
7, 1944, he was wounded when
a damaged American b o mbe r
unloaded its bombs on the pris-
oner of war camp. On Aug. 12,
1945, he was liberated by Rus-
sian troops. A second look told
him that many of the Russian
soldiers were women.
His memories of Canopus are
fond ones.
He recalls the brass bell that
the Navy wanted. He wonders
what happened to it.
And he recalls the tall ma-
chinist’s mate with the mustache
who, after the retreat, took a
motor launch back to Canopus
to scuttle her.
The machinst’s mate de-
scribed it later. She went down
in five minutes after he opened
the sea valves. After opening
the values — he had stopped’ in
the galley and nearly drowned.
The baker had left an oven
full of cherry pies.

Top Number of
Wi d Deer for
Hunt at Llano
LLANO, June 17— Barring
severe negative weather, the
greatest concentration of wild
deer anywhere in North America
will be ready and running for
the 1966 harvest, according to
Jack Thomas, biologist on the
scene for the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department.
That means that the approxi-
mately 5000 Llano county resi-
dents, with a per capita deer
popolation roughly of twenty
deer for each individual, will
again move over and make room
for the onrushing sportsmen
come November.
It’s a multi-million dollar em-
brasure for the commonly call-
ed Mineral Basin metropolis
where an appropriate fee will
qualify a hunter to get a maxi-
mum of three deer under exist-
ng regulations.
Thomas said the the estimated
100,000 plus county deer herd
right now is heathy and has ade-
quate food because of a green
winter and a prolific spring and
early summer.
He pointed out, Llano County,
'billed as’The Deers Capitol of
Texas," has few sheep and goat
that offer competition for natur-
al food. And in an excellent
growing season like 1966 the
ration advantage is tremendous,
he said.
So the venison should be
hanging five months from now
when the county that touched
off a recurring bonanza by adopt-
ting modern wildlife manage-
ment techniques, offers its sur-
plus big game to the hunter.
The three-limit provision, now
employed by many Hill Country
areas, includes anterless deer
which have been classified as
fair game by wildlife authorities
because of the urgent need to
curb overpopulation.

Second Game
EBF was leading 5-0 in the
fourth inning when Murff
swatted his first homer of the
season. The blast was a 220 foot
drive over the White’s Auto Sign
in left field. The score was 11-
4 in the sixth frame when Jerry
Santos connected for his initial
round tripper of the year. It
was a 215 foot fly over the Flint,
kote sign down the left field
line. Joe Crow, Billy Rose, Ro-
land Christian, Jimmy Cook,
Ricky Moore, Ray Navarro, and
Larry Treadaway added runs to
the ones scored by the sluggers.
Murff was the only EBF pitcher
in the game. He fanned eight.
The Merchants scored all four
of their runs in the fourth when
Joey Nichols, Raymond Vasquez,
Joe Allen Clark and David Cave
circled the base paths. Dickie
