Stewart:none of them bothered me while we were there. I don't
think one even came and looked at me or anything.
Again, are you still talking about the same thing--
mainly food?
Still talking about food, right. The quantity of the
rice they gave you was not sufficient, and, like I said,
it wasn't very appetizing, A good steak sounded a lot
better (chuckle),
Under these circumstances, that is, when you have time
to sit around and talk about things, what do you talk
about other than food?
Well, we didn't talk about much else. Of course, we
didn't really talk a whole lot. We did talk a little
bit about wondering how the men were faring at Corregidor,
what the situation was, and how long we'd possibly be
prisoners-of-war, but not very much else.
And how long did you remain here at the jail altogether?
I stayed there at the jail, I think, three weeks. I was
there three weeks.
And up until this time now, you'd seen very little physical

Very little at the time,
