Marines' Guadalcanal Waif
Is Growing Up in Singapore
Bf the Associated Press
SINGAPORE, Aug. 6.—The won
der waif of the Pacific is almost
grown up now. She's 12 years old.
Patsy LI, the little Chinese girl
who six years ago mysteriously
turned up in the midst of the
shooting war on Guadalcanal, today
is studying the three Rs in a Singa
pore school.
• But she hasn t forgotten her days
with the United States Marines in
Gaudaicanal. She hasn’t had a
chance. Newspaper stories have
kept the memofy alive for her.
Little Patsy, like many a young
ster her age, is limelight-conscious.
But in her case what is usually a
mere "stage” threatens to become
a serious personality problem, ac
cording to her guardian. That's
why there are to be no more inter
views.
A lot of American Marines who
were on Gaudaicanal will remember
Patsy and wish her happily over
the rocky road of adolsecence.
They will remember her as the
six-year-old, very sick with malaria,
who one day in the heat of battle
was carried by natives to the Amer
ican lines. She had been found,
wounded and very ill, in an
abandoned Japanese camp.
The Marines adopted her and she
became famous as "Patsy of Guadal
canal.”
Patsy had been separated from
her mother, Mrs. Ruth LI of Singa
pore, when the ship on which they
were escaping from Malaya was
torpedoed off The Netherlands In
dies in February, 1942. Mrs. Li was
rescued. No trace was found of her
child at the time.
Three thousand miles from the
scene of the sinking, on Guadal
canal an American correspondent
wrote up the story of the little
Chinese girl.
In New York Mrs. Ruth Li's sis
ter, a cancer research worker, read
the story and noted that the little
girl answered to the name of Patsy
Li—the name of the little niece lost
in the torpedoeing off the Dutch
East Indies. She wrote to her sister.
It was a clue—and the unhappy
Singapore mother flew to the
orphanage in the New Hebrides
where the girl had been placed and
recognized Patsy as her missing
daughter.
How she travelled the 3,000 miles
from the place where the ship
sank to Guadalcanal, nobody knows.
Probably the Japanese fished her
out of the sea, adopted her and
brought her with them to Guadal
canal. It's still a mystery to every
one, including Patsy.
Today in Singapore a growing-up
Patsy often asks: "Have you ever
met ap American Marine They're
wonderful.’’ *
