would be one quick look, and then
we must be given up for lost.
This would be a bitter pill for
the boys To swallow. But it was
only simple, military logic.
My thoughts were not gloomy,
but they were hard, and l kept
them 10 myself.

We jumped TO our feet in our
excitement, and almost tipped over

sea water from his lips. How
about we take off our blouses.

There's no wasting time here.
The pilots dash right up 10 the
flight deck and prepare TO take off.
MY bomber was standing ready.
We were looking for Jap subma-
rines. 1 guess it's all right to say
that. Submarines are where you
find them.
The young sailor standing by my
plane was to be the bomber with
me. The gunner was in the plane.
We had three cockpits. / was for
ward, Tony Pastula, the bomber,
in the middle cockpit. and the
gunner behind. That was Gene
Aldrich, as it turned out.
/ didn't see Gene until the next
morning. as a matter of fact.
When we went in the water / was
busy. and then it was dark, but
later on we introduced ourselves
with more or less formality.

said he had made a couple of hops
with me before. but / don't re-

than Tony did. Gene flew all the
time.
When was not flying or in the

many years, and il required most

along with other boys in radio and
different subjects.
i remembered instructing him,
but always in a group with several
others, so l had never paid much
attention to him as an individual.
The three of us just knew each
others last names and rates.

aboard by the wrists one at a
time, and for the moment our
troubles were over. looked
around and reflected that il was
swell 10 be alive. although why /
should have thought that then !
don't know.
AS we huddled together in the
darkness trying 10 keep warm
while the wind held our clammy
clothes against us, we were not
downhearted. l had the confidence
in the RATS ability 10 stay afloat,
and the boys were sure we would
be rescued in the morning.
There was much complaining
over the loss OF our cigarets and
matches. which had of course been
ruined in our long immersion. /
too would have liked a cigaret.
but most of all l wanted a cup of
hot coffee.
We settled down 70 rest as best
we could until dawn. hut we soon
! learned that we could not sleep.
The raft was only four feet long
by eight feet wide. With its sides
inflated like tires, it resembled an
oblong doughnut.
The dimensions inside were so
inches by 40 inches. We discovered
almost al once that il was impos-
sible for three men 10 dispose this
space so that any one OF us would
I be comfortable.
