Survivor on Liscome Bay and a moose tale headline the wartime dispatch
The report recounts Lt. (jg) Carley and chaplains escaping the sinking Liscome Bay with survivors and rescues amid flames, plus Dorie Miller’s fame, and a separate Alaska tale where Sgt. Mario J. Rinaldo and crew halt a 1000-pound moose blocking trains for hours before a stealth shot ends the standstill.
