during the night had 10 duck 10" anu
lie still perchance they might De o's-
covered by the enemy. being one OF
the number on deck duckeu unasr
seat and with the noor Tor a peu ana
life preserver Tor a pillow, managed 70
get few hours sleep.
When we pulled into harbor next
morning we had breakfast and then
with blanket rolls and haver sacks pro-
ceeded TO clsembarke. After disembark

the afternoon sleeping for We had very
little sleep for two nights Later In the
