	Tjilatjap
		One of the measures taken was that Tjilatjap, the only port of size on the southern coast was to be made suitable of handling a large amount of goods.
		For example, the new piers were too short to handle all the ships at once, so the cargo had to be brought ashore by lighters (100 of which were routed to Tjilatjap in 1941), and the mooringbuoys used to keep the ships in place were too lightly built.
		Unfortunately, the port itself was only lightly protected against attacks from the sea and air, and it is surprising that the first air attack occured as late as March 5 1942, only a few days before the surrender of the Allied forces on Java.

	Chapter XXII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Tjilatjap !" Often as one may sound those syilables aloud, they seem absurd; and the very idea of spending the night in a town of such name, of buying a railway ticket with that name printed on it, and asking to have one's luggage labeled to that destination, was enough to tickle the fancy.
		Whether it is printed "Tjilatjap," "Chalachap," or "Chalachap," it at once suggests enough puns to spare one printing them, and surely no town on the north side of the equator could support such a name with any dignity.
		While we drove through the magnificent avenues in the late afternoon light, past parade-grounds and parks, over canals and along their embankments, the rising mists and the solid blue vapors massing in the distances were so much actual, visible evil-malaria almost in tangible form.

	Escape from NEI
		Tjilatjap, on the south coast of Java, is a small port unable normally to accommodate more than two or three vessels at one time.
		But the Japanese occupation of Bali and southern Sumatra, and the subsequent landings on the northern coast of Java had deprived the Dutch of all their main ports, and it was from Tjilatjap that ships leaving Java were obliged to sail.
		From Java to Australia is a distance of some 800 miles across a wide expanse of water, where Japanese submarines, cruisers, and raiders were known to be active, guided moreover in their hunting of allied craft by Japanese reconnaissance aeroplanes based on Bali and Sumatra.

		Then, steaming independently, she cruised to Tjilatjap, on the south coast of Java, where her landing force began to receive training in jungle warfare.
		The plan to use Tulsa's bluejackets as infantry in a last-ditch defense of Java never progressed beyond the initial training stage, and her erstwhile ground troops returned to the ship as she was being outfitted to become a convoy escort vessel.
		The gunboat hove to and assisted the minesweeper in the lifesaving, then returned to Tjilatjap where she awaited instructions, ready for sea at a moment's notice.

	Fall of Java: Qantas in Java
		In February 1942 a Qantas operational base was established at Broome in Western Australia so that urgent war supplies could be ferried across to Tjilatjap to help in the defence of Java.
		It soon became obvious that the base in Java could not be held for much longer and the flights from Tjilatjap were scheduled to finish at the end of February.
		After the outbreak of war, several of the Empire flying boats were transferred to the RAAF, while others remained with Qantas flying mail and passengers – including high ranking military officers – overseas.

	Christiaan Eijkman - Biography
		That same year he left Holland for the Indies, where he was made medical officer of health first in Semarang later at Tjilatjap, a small village on the south coast of Java, and at Padang Sidempoean in W. Sumatra.
		It was at Tjilatjap that he caught malaria which later so impaired his health that he, in 1885, had to return to Europe on sick-leave.
		For Eijkman this was to prove a lucky event, as it enabled him to work in E. Forster's laboratory in Amsterdam, and also in Robert Koch's bacteriological laboratory in Berlin; here he came into contact with A. Pekelharing and C. Winkler, who were visiting the German capital before their departure to the Indies.
