All the internees are assembled and Yamashita reads out a list consisting of most of the men aged between 18 and 35: they are to sleep from now on in Stanley Prison as the Japanese believe there is a plan for a mass escape linked to the recently begun (October 25) American air raids. The system lasts about three weeks.
