Adventures
of Today
The
fastest time ever in the Iditarod dogsley race was set by Dough Swingley of the
United States. He completed the race in 9 days, 32 hours, and 43 minutes. The
Anchorage to Nome, Alaska, race is 1,135 miles (1,827 kilometers) through long
streches of Tundra, frozen lakes, and wastelands. Blizzards and below-zero
temperatures are part of the race. Although the Iditarod has been practiced
informally since 1910, the official race was in 1967. The winner of that race,
Dick Wilmarth, completed the race in 20 days, 49 minutes, and 41 seconds.
The
first woman to win the race was a 28-years old Canadian named Libby Riddles on
March 20, 1985. After nearly 18 days on the trail, Riddles and her thirteen
huskies beat sixty teams for the $50,000 top price. Riddles had taken the lead during the final
days of the race by pushing into a snowstorm the other contestants decided to
sit out. She crossed the finish the line some three hours ahead of the
second-place finisher. Another woman, Susan Bucther, won three consecutive
Iditarods: 1986 - 1988. American Rick Swenson is the all-time champion with a
record of five Iditarods wins.
The
longest dogsled race in the world, however, is Russia. The 1,234-mile (2,000

Man of Courage
On the night of August 2, 1943, a Japanese
destroyer cut through the waters of blackett Strait, west of New Georgia in the
Solomom Islands. The night was dark; the weather, bad. The Japanese sailors on
the destroyer were watching, particularly for U.S. patrol torpedo boats. These
PT boats were small, about ninety feet long and eighteen feet wide. They
carried a crew of ten to fourteen men. They were extremely fast, the fastest
boats yet developed by the U.S. Navy. They could reach speeds of up to sixty
miles an hour. They generally carried two torpedoes, at least one machine gun,
and sometimes even light naval guns. They had been causing great damage to
Japanese shipping in the area, even sinking several Japanese destroyers.
When the commander of the Japanese
destroyers saw a PT boat about half a mile off, he gave the necessary orders,
and the destroyers turned in the direction of the small PT boat. The destroyer
moved at speed of almost fifty miles an hour and soon was on top of the smaller
boat, which was travelling at slow speed. It cut cirectly through the PT boat,
breaking it into two pieces. The destroyer then moved on, leaving the PT boat

immediately; the remaining eleven men in the crew lived. Although several were
badly hurt or burned. Some were thrown into the water. Five of men, including
the young lieutenant, were in the front of the boat when the destroyer struck.
They remained there. The young lieutenant, thrown bodily from one side of the
boat the other, looked up as the big destroyer passed through the boat and
thought to himself, “This is how it feels to be killed”.

badly shaken up. Soon he was able to direct the operations of collecting the
six men who had been thrown into the water. One man, McMahon, an engineer, was
badly burned. Another man, Harris, had hurt his leg badly. The young lieutenant
