Service Organization And Police Department Aid Sailor In Distress The telephone buzzed and a strange voice said, "This is a sailor in distress" and then he told his woeful tale to Mrs. Charles A. Mann, chairman of the Home Service department of the Anaheim Red Cross. A few hours later the tired, but happy sailor was on his way to his home in Washington—his first leave in a year-and-a-half, but a life-time of experience at sea behind him. His tale of the loss of his small bag, containing pass papers that would permit him to continue his journey was not so strange, but the manner in which his difficulty was solved showed a great deal of ingenuity, and painstaking clue-hunting on the combined parts of the Red Cross, the USO, the local police department and the Navy Shore patrol. Sailor Pollard was just off his ship and had hitch-hiked to Santa Ana from San Diego. In Santa Ana he was given a ride by two women, one older, one younger and the third occupant of the car was a fourteen-year-old red cocker spaniel dog. At the intersection of Highway 101 and Manchester the sailor got out of the car and in doing so forgot to take his precious bag. For over an hour he stood at the intersection hoping against hope that the owner of the car would come back, but when all hope was gone he made his way into Anaheim, as the car had turned off in that direction. First he appealed to the Red Cross and without them, he quietly left the canteen and hitched a ride back toward San Diego. The police force then took over again and contacted the Shore Patrol in Santa Ana who apprehended the "sailor in distress" as he was driving through that city. He was brought back to Anaheim and then one of the USO hostesses drove him to Placentia. There they found that Mrs. Adams had already taken the bag to the railway express office to have it sent back to San Diego. The railway express agent was located at a hotel in Placentia and he secured the bag for the grateful sailor. Once more he was homeward bound!
