Guerrillas trapped the Japanese forces on the coastal road near Culasi. They had used up their bullets in the battles, but the ship (the Shinshu Maru) that came to pick them up was sunk by a US submarine. That had been the first voyage of the ship built at Iloilo City by the Shimamoto Ship Building Company. While on this mission, we learned about the wireless radio base at Mt. Nacron in Aklan from which the Panay guerrillas were in contact with General MacArthur.
