Young Sailor Tells
How 10 Days Change
Boot Into Old Salt
BY HAL BOYLE,


A BRITISH PORT, June Is de-
laye6 His first trip to sea was the
greatest adventure in the life of
l9-year-old Edwin Piechog. Chicago,
tall, boyish merchant seaman
whose mates have nicknamed him
Sweet Pea"
He scribbled an account Of his
first 10 days on freighter bound
for Britain, an experience typical
OF that Of thousands of young
American sailors who have been de-
livering war goods with which Al
lied soldiers are winning the cam
paign in Normandy.
There Is nothing like your first
trip at sea-" wrote Sweet Pea. II
remember the posters in boot camp
for apprentice seamen telling you
that boot training was tough be-
cause 1t got you in shape for life
at sea.
AT one time I didn't believe that,
but after two days out, / knew
there was q lot Of truth in that.
Tells Of Tall Tales.
II happened to be one of the So
called boots on this trip. The NAVY
boys are all salty after their first
trip. My first 10 days out think
l learned more from those salts
than I could by going through a
four-year course in the best college

OF this stun they tell me about is
Just impossible. Like the sunners
mate who was in the invasion of
Sicily. He told me about shrapnel
on the deck, and said he had to use
broom and shovel on it. Now
would you believe that? Well
frankly, I did.
This one fellow is quite an
artist at this tall talk stuff. An
other time he told me he was taking
cup of coffee to the bridge and
it happens 1t was pretty rough on
this ship and it makes a big dip
before he reached the bridge.
We'll. his story goes that the Gun
came up filled with water instead of
conee. I thought I could tell some
good ones, but I'll take a back seat
The first time general alarm
sounded tramped on three guys
and got run over twice myself. Then
after getting to battle stations I got
the life jacket on backward. I
think the skipper got q kick out of
that one.
On the eighth day out, I was on
watch and the gunner's mate told
me to 60 below and get all my let
ters together for the mail buoy to
pick them up.
I ran down and got the letters
I've written and rushed back up. He
has me watch on the right side Of
the ship for him.
10th Day Most Exciting.
THE 10th day has been the most
exciting one for me. We were all
in the mess hall talking and kid
ding around when we happened to
hit huge wave. The salt sitting
besides me hollers, This Is It, and
then the place turns into a mad
house. The best men get out the
door first. rush to my battle sta
ton when I know I should have
went to the lifeboat.
After everything has calmed
down. We have about eight casualties
aboard, three sailors with smashed
fingers and five with sprained
ankles.
This winds up the first 10 days
Of my Navy career at sea. only
hope the future holds many more
pleasant things Ia store for me-"

SAIPAN, MARIANAS ISLANDS.
June II Delayed The past 4S
hours on Saipan have been one
long nightmare of lodging Jap
shells. shrapnel and sniper hle, and
simply trying to survive. That
hasn't been too simple, but we have
managed so far.
As long as 1 live, I'll never forget
my first two days and nights on
this island.
Ever since I landed here on D.
day, two hours behind the assault
troops. I have been duckine from
foxhole to foxhole, cringirg from
the devilish Jap mortars that have
been falling all around and duck
ing at the sound of our own gun
flre.
Things are fairly quiet here on
the western beach by the airstrip
this morning and I have been try
ing to remember some of the high
lights Of what I have been through.
Waded to Shore.
When our landing craft hit the
beach. ducked down the ramp
and waded few yards to shore,
hitting on my belly. An officer
called to us to move forward, over
a low sand dune. and I scrambled
over, to find myself on our second
line of defense, by the airstrip.
I hit the sand on my face, find
ing myself between two casualties.
one of them badly wounded in the
back by shrapnel, the other hit in
the leg.
I raised by head cautiously and
heard some one yell, "Grenade!"
1 ducked, and the grenade burst
on the dune in front of me. Sand
spattered in my face, but I was
not hit, nor was q marine private
first class beside me.
A marine on the dune aheaC
raised up by a pine tree and
pumped half a dozen shots into the
Jap who threw the grenade.
We moved to the right. towarc
the spot where our command post
was to be set up. Jap mortar shells
ranging for the landing craft on the
beach, were falling thickly.
I ducked along until I found a
likely shelter under pine tree and
scooped a hole in a dune. There
I was joined by Marine Sergt
Jack w. Combs, Is, Portland, Greg.
combat photographer.
Throughout the morning we
crouched In our shallow holes, while
the Jap mortar shells went over
our heads and hit in the water.
Our command post was set UP in
draw just behind us and a few
yards from the airstrip. Also set
up there was a medical aid sta
ton, where many wounded were
being cared for.
I saw two medical men move in
right In the face Of Jap fire and
begin working on the wounded men
on the beach. Later, at the aid
station, saw them still working
In fact, all the doctors and hospital
corpsmen saw worked for 4S hours
straight without rest.

moved up to our forward combat
post, beyond the airstrip, and dug
In in trenches which the Japs had
abandoned.
There we spent miserable night,
hugging the dirt while the inevi-
table Jap mortar shells sailed over
head and our warships OF shore
responded with frightening force.
The following morning one Of
