When Mel wasn’t running around in circles trying to find a marriage license, he often took in the vista from his room at the aptly named Bay View Hotel. Over the tops of the trees lining Dewey Boulevard, Mel’s gaze fell toward the southwest and the grayish-blue waters at the mouth of Manila Bay, which stretched across the horizon. Beneath the water’s surface were miles and miles of submerged mines. U.S. destroyers and submarines carefully negotiated them, while smaller inter-island freighters ferried loads of rice and fruit between the capital and the rest of the Philippines.
Occasionally, Mel tracked Pan-Am’s giant, silver-bellied Boeing 314 Clippers as they crossed the sky, their whalelike hulls and slender pontoons gliding into the harbor during stopovers on their transoceanic journeys. Each Clipper flight between the United States and Hong Kong promised mail, supplies, and new visitors.
Soon, Mel hoped, one of those flights would carry the woman he planned to marry.
