Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was
comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the
bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water.
Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a
half an hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that when you're
in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail.
What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no
distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a
week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed
ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares
in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of
Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man
he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark
go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he
looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing
about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's
eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites
ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear
that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite
all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip
you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred
men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many
men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped
into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball
player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to
wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top.
Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the
fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and
he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper.
Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat
PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I
was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a
lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men
come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we
delivered the bomb.
