move to Manila. Carr had a job with the Singer Company and we left for the bright lights and city living. It is hard to leave a place so beautiful and where we were so happy and had had so many wonderful and peaceful days……….memories to hold forever in our hearts. We never learned what happened to our many loyal Moro friends as Jolo was invaded by the Japanese in the early days of the war. Before I leave this island paradise, there are one or two other things that just might be interesting so I will add them. We were invited to take a ten day cruise on the United States Coast Guard Cutter (The Ararat). We sailed the Sulu Sea through many small islands where the waves had pounded around them until they looked like huge toadstools, through ever-changing colors of the sea. Sometimes a brilliant blue, bright green, deep purple and in lagoons where we looked down on brilliantly colored flower gardens of coral. We visited a light house and climbed to the top to see the big lights that guided ships through safely. We visited Pearl Banks, a place where at one time natives dived for pearls (the rare black and pink ones). I saw one perfect pearl that was the size of a small marble. Pearl diving has now become almost a passing thing since the cultured pearl came into existence. Now on Television Commercials they speak of pearls made from Denture Material. Perhaps the persons responsible for this advertisement have never seen a perfect pearl which God gave only the oyster the ability to produce – one of our most precious gems. Then there was the time when we were driving around Jolo Island we had a flat tire. When we inspected the spare we found that the Moro mechanic who looked after and serviced the vehicle, had failed to put air in it so there was nothing else for us to do but pump it up – by hand.

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.
