Faraway Home Mary describes the lives of American (and other nationalities) hiding out in the Mindanao jungle. They were rescued by a US sub after 23 months, guided by Peter Parsons' ('55) father in the fall of 1943 and taken to Australia (for the duration of the war). After three months of care by the Red Cross, the refugees were taken to California on the Matsonia, which was then a troopship. It is said that they were treated to the former first-class state rooms at the behest of MacArthur.
