C. | 6 At first Scott was too delirious with fever to realize what he was being fed but when he was stronger he asked White where he had gotten the quinine tablets. White told Scott to wait until the afternoon and to keep an eye on the guard. 7 Irvin Scott who is now over 80 years old remembers clearly what he saw that afternoon This Japanese guard came walking across the rocks. All the prisoners were lying out on the rocks dying or barely able to move because of the malaria. As the guard passed by he dropped something wrapped in a banana leaf. He kept walking and said nothing. Bill unwrapped the leaf and in it was some rice and a little piece of paper. Inside the paper were two tablets of quinine. 8 With the help of Bill White and the food and quinine from the Japanese guard Scott eventually regained some strength. He and Bill White were at Tayabas for the entire summer of 1942 then they were sent to a former American Army base near Manila that had been captured by the Japanese. They were there for about two years and during that time Scott and White became close friends. 9 In 1944. Irvin Scott and Bill White were sent to Japan aboard separate ships. White s ship was sunk by torpedoes but Scott s ship continued on to Japan. He worked in a coal mine there until the war ended in 1945 and then returned to the United States aboard a hospital ship. 10 From time to time. Scott thinks about Tayabas. He thinks about Bill White who fed him the quinine tablets that the guard dropped. White had malaria too and no one would have known if he had swallowed the medicine instead of giving it to Scott. Scott also thinks about the Japanese guard. The two quinine tablets were half the guard s ration of four tablets so the guard was risking dying of malaria himself. That however was the smaller risk If the guard s superiors had seen him dropping the food and medicine. he would have been shot. Scott can only speculate why of all the 11 I prisoners at Tayabas the guard chose to save him. .
