"The explosion hit in number two hatch and the boys there got the worst of it. On deck some were wrapped around poles and when the hatches caved in. some boys who were sleeping on them, went in with them. Spot Liberty Ship "About noon, we spotted a Liberty Ship on the horizon and our hopes jumped sky high. She stayed a long time around the San Juan talking to men, then she started towards us.

Several times, she turned away and we thought she was going away and our hearts slopped. But she always came back. There were several bombers flying around and also a flying boat. Finally the flying boat landed and started picking up injured men. They also threw off life rafts.

Nine Cups of Coffee "We had wounded men in the lifeboat and they weren't having any fun. When the Llberly Ship came close enough, we started rowing toward her. We were all in and couldn't co-ordinate our efforts so we were rowing backward as well as forward. Finally, we reached her and one man got off every time the sea raised. When we got on hoard, a doctor put drops in our eyes.

I went back on deck and helped pull men in. Some had to spend Ihe night in the water, because they couldn't make that last few feet to our heave line. You should have seen their faces when the ship pulled away. We had to get the hell out of there as it was getting dark and we were afraid the sub would return. I went into the galley and got something to eat and drank nine cups of coffee and smoked a full pack of cigarettes.

They sure tasted good. 1-2-3 Splash! "The cabins were packed with colored guys, most of whom had gone just about as far as they could. They plastered the males and captains' cabins all over with oil. They were lying right on the nice clean while sheets. Everything was covered with oil from one end of the ship to the other.

I spent the night on deck in a G. I. truck with another boy. About 12 o'clock, four men came down a board walk. They had strung over equipment and started looking for a few guys that died after they got on board.

They yelled, 'Where are those stiffs. Oh, over here. Wait, get his Then it was 1-2-3 splash! Red Cross Girls "They took us to an island off New Caledonia and pulled right up and docked at the capital, New Mea. "They had some G. I.

trucks and ambulances, a band that didn't help much and a few Red Cross girls handing out cigarettes and that helped a lot more. We went to a replacement center about 20 miles away. Later the rest of the company came over from Fiji. We reorganized and went to Australia. A little more of the guys out of our company who is now in Australia is up for the soldiers' medal for swimming out and pulling in 15 or more men to Ihe rescue ship who were too exhausted to make it.

"Now you why I had so many APOs all at once. I'd stopped to pick up some of the money that was down the holds I'd had enough to retire for life.
