Report from John K. Robison to Dennis H. Mahan
Lieutenant Commander Robison reports to Captain Mahan that he distributed food to the refugees of the recent earthquake, most of whom claimed to be American citizens. The refugees were seeking transportation to the United States and many of them were brought aboard the USS Indiana. Robison assured them that the Navy was there to protect them and “succor distress” wherever they found it.
