Depth charging still going on, but less frequently. Destroyed by gunfire a three-masted schooner of about 100 tons. It was loaded with lumber and logs. Fires were burning merrily when we shoved off. Avoided on the surface.
More phenomenal radar ranges.
Small fishing boats showed as large targets at 37,000 yards. APR contact at 180 megacycles. Submerged when plane illuminated us with searchlight. When contact was first established he tracked at zero speed. Shortly thereafter he increased to 16 knots on course 010 degrees T. Did not consider the speed change suspicious, and let him go by as a properly marked hospital ship.
