Chastain, son of Mr. and Mrs. Claude E. Chastain, Route Two, Anaheim, has won his wings at Marfa Army Air Field, Marfa, Texas, and was commissioned a second lieutenant. He entered the service by starting his training at Santa Ana Army Air Base, later going to Ryan Field, Merced basic flying school and then to the Marfa school. His present orders call for him to serve as an instructor at Anaheim Navy Man In Romantic When Japs Capture South Sea Island Center, San Diego, has its own counterpart of the famed Navy doctor, Comdr. Croydon K. Wassell, USNR. He is Ens. Stephen A. Ferdinand, USN, of Anaheim, Calif., whose life probably was saved by a trick of fate while evacuating wounded Navy men from Java. When the first bombs fell on the Philippines as the Japanese opened their assault in 1941, Ensign Ferdinand was serving as chief pharmacist's mate aboard Adm. Thomas C. Hart's yacht, Isabel, where he reported on detached duty in 1939. Weathering the first three weeks of Jap attacks, the lightly armed Isabel sailed for the Dutch East Indies to do convoy duty. After reaching the Indies, Ensign Ferdinand spent most of his time on duty in Dutch hospitals at Tjilatjap and Soerabaja where he worked with Dr. Wassell in treating the Navy's wounded. Finally, as the Japanese landing forces began a close in on the principal cities of Java, he was ordered to sail on the Pecos, one of the last ships to leave the island. At the last minute, after his gear and papers were already aboard, he received new orders to take charge of 14 stretcher patients from the cruiser Marblehead and proceed on another ship. This change of orders probably saved his life and his patients, as the Pecos was sunk only a few hours out of Tjilatjap. "The skipper of the small Dutch ship we sailed on," he said, "did not want to take aboard his already crew sel, but finally agreed have enough deck space stretchers." Nearly all of the 14 helpless cases, suffering on and third degree had no clothes and the cal supplies that Ensign Ferdinand had managed to four two-pound jars of ointment and same gags. "The men lay under shelter made from tan hatch covers," he recalled the voyage I was borrow flying jackets from some aviation aboard and that helped men more comfortable a miracle that infection develop, for the wound dressed on the open coal smoke and soot as heavy fog. After dodging a Japan the ship arrived at Perth Australia, where Ensign Ferdinand picked up 27 moors and sailed aboard a helicopter to Adelaide and then Melbourne, where he all the men improved in. For the successful end of his dangerous and daring signment, Ensign Ferdinand highly praised by the U Attaché in Australia and mended for meritorious. At the Naval Training Ensign Ferdinand is on ground, for he received training there several years." Flying School Lt. Alvie G. Chastain, son of Mr. and Mrs. Claude E. Chastain, Route Two, Anaheim, has won his wings at Marfa Army Air Field, Marfa, Texas, and was commissioned a second lieutenant.
