24 January 1940: Washington Passenger and Crew Lists arriving in Seattle from Vancouver, British Columbia aboard ship Chilean Reefer (working on the ship, age 25, weighed 158 pounds and is 5' 11" and, according to the record, he was not going to be discharged.)

With the above said, the British motor vessel Chilean Reefer was intercepted, shelled and sunk by German battleship Gneisenau about 200 miles E of Cape Race 16 March 1941.  There is no proof (so far) that William was on it at that time. However, he was still alive in 1945 (see the last note on this page), so he either was rescued, or he left the ship earlier.

Chilean Reefer

Nine of her crew were killed, 3 were taken as P.O.W. on board of the raider and 27 survivors were rescued by HMS Rodney.  
Here is a link to what happened in the Chilean Reefer's battle during WW2 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Berlin_(Atlantic)
