MARITIME, or started to, but found
they had also hit the gun and put
it out of action.
"But meanwhile Ross, with the
starboard 30-caliber machine guns,
had shot down one of the four
planes. The next plane got Ross in
the leg, and also put out his gun. So
we now had no guns, only two en-
gines and boat full of holes with
three planes diving down to less
than one hundred feet, raking us
with fire which we couldn't return
only try to dodge.
The engineer now reported the
engine room was full of water and
the boat was sinking, so there was
nothing to do but beach her, if we
were to save the wounded men. |
headed her over towards nearby
Kawit Island, and there she beached
hard and fast. There were about
twelve hundred yards of shallow
surf, four feet of water over an un-
even bottom of coral and sand, and
then the palms. The planes kept up
their strafing as we lay there, but
there was nothing to do now but
dodge while we got the wounded
ashore.
81 went down into the engine room
and there was Hunter, my chief ma
chinist's mate, with his arm practi-
cally blown off-a bullet had en-
tered his elbow and gone out three
inch hole in his forearm, but he was
still manning the engines. l gave
the order to abandon ship. 1t turned
out that there were only three of us
unhit, so it was job getting the
wounded out while the Japanese
dived to rake us. We made the
mistake of taking off our shoes, and
the coral cut our feet to ribbons as
we staggered carrying the men.
81 found Reynolds, who had been
wounded in the throat during the
night, now lying with his hand over
his belly.
"'Mr. Kelly he said, leave me
here
"'What happened?' I asked.
"'When the planes attacked he
said, there didn't seem to be any,
. thing for me to do, so l went below
and lay down on Mr.. Brantingham's
bunk. They hit me in the belly
while was lying there. I'm done
for, sir. I'll be all right here. You

81 didn't have time even to Won
der what in hell had become of our
big American offensive and the air
umbrella, because I had to throttle
back, stopping the boat momentarily
so that the next bomb would land
twenty-five feet in front instead of
squarely on us. Then I gave her
the gun and started trying to zigzag
in that narrow observation-disclosures
wide channel, meanwhile giving
word to our machine guns to start
firing.
s'They bombed us for thirty min
utes, and the farthest bomb was
thirty feet away. We would wait
for the bomb release, see it start
falling, then I'd give hard rudder
and it would miss by few feet. All
the while we had to keep in this
narrow channel so we couldn't be
beached helplessly on a coral reef,
and work our way down it toward
port, where presently some of the
newly arrived American planes
would see what was going on and
come to help. We didn't doubt, of
course, that they'd arrived. Four
Jap seaplanes were after US, work

had reported as being around.

FORSYTH DOWNS
HARDIN ELEVEN

A heavy and experienced For
Syth football team struck twice
IN the second and once in the
third quarter to down a plucky
hardin team 10 to o on the
local field Wednesday afternoon.
It was the first game of the
season for the Hardin Bulldogs
and they turned in a good per-
Torrance against the Forsyth
veterans. Hardin's light line was
unable to stop the off-tackle
smashes of the visitors 200
pound fullback McKeever.
On the first play of the game
a Forsyth pass was intercepted
by Alvin Stewart who caught
the ball or the 80 yard stripe
and raced to the visitors five
where he was hauled down. Four
attempts failed to yield any gain
and Forsyth took the ball on
downs and ended Hardin's only
scoring threat of the game.
One of Forsyth's counters came
as a result of a pass and the
other two were scored on line
plays.
Good performances were
turned in by Warren and James
in the Hardin backfield. Conver,
Scally, Ulrich and Schoer were
outstanding in the line.
Coach Francis Sprinkle was
handicapped by the lack of re-
serve power, anu MS players
came through the game without
serious injuries.
