Wayne Wood saw it firsthand more than 50 years ago. There's a precious metal in Greenland cryolite. The Germans wanted to mine it, because it was essential to the war effort. But they couldn't mine it, because of our Greenland Green-land patrols. We ran out of meat on one of our trips, so the skipper sent a crew ashore in a whaleboat, and they found a herd of musk oxen. I was lucky to go with them. The oxen just made a circle, and the officer with the rifle walked up to one and bang! he knocked it down. We dressed it out and took it back to the ship. The cooks tried to make steaks out of it, but they tasted awful like Mississippi mud, because of the tundra moss the oxen feed on. When the meat hit the grill and started to fry, you could smell it everywhere. We finally ended up giving it to some Eskimos. We saw polar bears on ice floes, and we couldn't believe they were that far off the mainland, hunting seals. Polar bears are among some of the best swimmers in the world. We saw seals on ice floes, so thick we thought we were seeing see-ing islands. And we saw walruses. We shot one for an Eskimo village. vil-lage. We got it floating along side the ship, so we dropped cable from a crane onto it. The men in the water put the cable around the walrus's tail and tried to bring the animal up. But he just slipped like a big drop through the sling. The guys tried poking holes in the walrus, but the cable just pulled right out. : Finally, we put it in a big cargo net and lifted it on the fantail. We anchored in the bay of an Eskimo village and put the walrus back down in the water, still in the net. The Eskimos had a party. They drug the walrus up on the beach, and one guy opened it up down through the middle and made a couple of cross cuts. The Eskimos really had Reach 85,000 readers in a Sunday paper with advertisings with the , . , - t " pnrnn r CT C7 HP f w A VI S f 225-60S0 Innilyfirstcuxom Is jsi-iCL ' Editor's note: This is the fifth installment of a five-part five-part series about Wayne Wood, of Pleasant Grove. As most now know from watch- a party. Using a knife, they would art off a chunk of blubber, blub-ber, put it in their mouths, and chew on it, giggling and laughing laugh-ing like a bunch of five-year-olds at a birthday party. We used to see the aurora borealis (the northern lights), and I have never seen anything any-thing so fascinating. I would lay down on a couple of life jackets and watch it. It would make the hair on the back of your head stand up, as those colors weaved across the sky, constantly changing. When I had enough points to be discharged, I was back at the Boston Naval Yard, but there were so many sailors being separated, I was sent to the lighthouse on Buzzard Bay, on Cape Cod, for a couple of months to tend the lighthouse. Finally all my paperwork was done, and I was sent home on a train through Chicago to Los Angeles. When I came home, I never saw any bands or parades or other hoopla or nothin'. When I joined the Coast Guard, I just walked out the front door; When I came back three years later, I just walked in the back door. I just walked in on my mother. All these years, I've asked myself, "What the hell did I ever do in the war? What purpose pur-pose did I serve chasing up and down the Greenland coast, chasing polar bears and walruses? walrus-es? What good did I really do?" I've always felt guilty when I thought of what guys had to go through in the South Pacific, Pa-cific, or in Europe. Then in reading a book by my skipper, I learned that our work was a great aid in not letting let-ting the Germans get two-day , weather forecasts. Well, maybe I did do some good up there. Some veterans may wish, on their own, to tape or digital record their memories of military service. These will be transcribed and archived.
