STOPOVER IN PUERTO PLATA The D.R. was our last stop in the Caribbean before the big push Eastward through what portends to be stormy seas. Made a futile effort to get through to Phil - somebody out there must have infor- mation on where the C-47 went down! (Of course - Carelton Rede claims that the story was never published before he set it down in The Frozen Triangle.) Big storm brewing... but after this incident on the Island, Ferrence was eager to get back under way. Suspect that Inman has been trying to hail me—but heavy cloud cover (and lightning!) has been playing havoc w/ the radio.

abstract	STOPOVER IN PUERTO PLATA The D.R. was our last stop in the Caribbean before the big push Eastward through what portends to be stormy seas. Made a futile effort to get through to Phil - somebody out there must have infor- mation on where the C-47 went down! (Of course - Carelton Rede claims that the story was never published before he set it down in The Frozen Triangle.) A routine stop to pick up a load of coffee beans bound for Europe turned into a dramatic night! The 2nd Mate discovered "thieves" in the hold - he was held at knifepoint - shots fired before Capt.Ferrence took hold of the situation. The intruders weren't thieves at all (or the mate would surely have wound up dead)... they were fugitives, political prisoners - loyalists to ex-Pres. Juan Bosch seeking asylum. The Capt. seemed sympathetic, despite the fugitives' far-left politics. He had no choice but to hand them over to junta's militia men. I learned from the Chief that some of our crew are "conscientious objectors" (read: draft dodgers!) - their paperwork wouldn't stand close scrutiny. Best to co-operate with the locals! Politics down here a dangerous subject... but I spoke with one of the officers in halting Spanish. Confirmed the "red light" had been seen in coastal waters in this area some months back. A sighting that never made it to the U.S. press! Big storm brewing... but after this incident on the Island, Ferrence was eager to get back under way. Suspect that Inman has been trying to hail me—but heavy cloud cover (and lightning!) has been playing havoc w/ the radio.
