but Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes. Entire side, Chief, We was coming back from the island. A Tinian to Leyte just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb 1100 men went in the water. The vessel went down in 12 minutes. I didn't see the first shark for about 1/2 hour. A tiger 13 footer. You know how you know that? When you're in the water, Chief, you tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. Well, we didn't know what their bomb mission had been. So secret. No distress signal had been sent. Didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light Chief sharks come cruisin. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kind of like old squares in the battle that you've seen the counter named The Battle of Waterloo. And the idea was the short comes to the nearest man and he starts to pound and hollering and screaming, sometimes a short go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that short, he looks writing to you, writing your eyes. You know the thing about a short he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes like a doll's eyes. When he comes after you. He doesn't seem to be living until he bites you And those black guys rolled over weight and then, ah, then you hear this terrible high pitched screaming The ocean turns red And despite of all the pounding and the hollerin the all coming and repeated pieces you know, by the end of the first dawn, we lost 100 men.

A baseball player. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up and down in the water just like a kind of top upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon. The fifth day, Mr. Hooper. A lack even tour sauce. He sworn in low when he saw us. He was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PB. Why? It comes down and started. Pick us up. You know, that was the time I was most fragrant, waiting for my turn. I'll never put a life jacket on again. So 1100 men went in the water. 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest. June 29th 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
