Panorama of enemy installations on creek running in to
? corner of Holtz Bay area, now occupied by our forces.
The scene is one of general wreckage, a great deal of it
caused by heavy shell fire.  One or two tents are vis-
ible but most of the Jap dwellings are under ground as
evidenced by burried shacks and covered trenches (note
#5298) and caves in distant cliff (#5296, #5297, #5298).
One burried warehouse (note #5297 across creek) contained
several cases of new grease packed rifles. Jap clothing
ammunition and other gear.  This was found in a helter
skelter condition indicating a hurried retreat toward
Chichagof Harbor.  #5300 shows how our troops pitched pup
tents over Jap dug-outs and made themselves somewhat com-
fortable.  Lashed sea-bag and hammocks indicate presence
of sailors, some of whom were with medical outfit.  Barges
with long out jutting bow are wrecked Jap barges.  Barges
with square bows are ours.
