at this time, was more valuable. Some of it was fantastic, heavy gold with many precious stones. We had a Pit Bull dog named Pudge who attended all wedding feasts. The food was out in the open and he helped himself to any that suited his taste. HE was an AMERICAN dog and quite honored. We had many very smart dogs there, some native and Little Lulu, a handful of fun, which we brought from Manila. One of the Carr’s friends had given her to us. We also had a very large Manx Cat (short tail with a ball of fur at the end) named Tomas. They gave me lots of company when Carr was busy. There were no woman on the island except Moros. There were two elderly American men who had mustered out of the Spanish-American war and had married Moro women. I liked both families, one of the wives was born a princess. We visited some but it was difficult for me language-wise. When we were not involved with school duties we drove all over the island, went deer and bird hunting. There were lots of birds including white and green parrots, large colorful orioles and many others, including of course, as everywhere in the world our old friends and the crows. There were also monkeys which we would see in the forests. Their work animals were the Carabao (water buffalo) which afforded them work, transportation and food. The little town of Jolo had a few Chinese stores and, of course, the market place where the people came to sell their produce, squat around, chew betel nut and talk. The Moros raised coconuts, hemp, vegetables, cassava and some corn. Casava is their main food. It is a tuber from which (after peeling, pounding and squeezing out any and all moisture as this was considered poisonous) became a sort of coarse meal. This was made into bread, cakes, cookies and other dishes. When cassava is refined it is called tapioca.

In this personal narrative Ruth Williams Hooper shares her experiences in the Philippines before World War II, of her time at Santo Tomas Internment Camp with her husband Carr Hooper, and of their return home. The camp, also known as the Manila Internment Camp, was run by the Japanese military during World War II and housed over 3,000 internees from January 1942 until February 1945.
