:13:01
we saw our boat
sailing off.

:13:04
Poor souls.
:13:05
They had simply
lost courage.

:13:07
Father Phillips said,
"God, forgive them."

:13:09
Nothing more.
:13:11
Then we...
:13:13
came back down the hill...
:13:15
and sat here
on the verandah.

:13:17
He smoked his pipe...
:13:20
and it grew dark.
:13:22
I went inside and slept.
:13:26
Next morning I found him
on the beach.

:13:28
He had fallen.
:13:30
He couldn't talk.
:13:33
I gave him his crucifix.
:13:35
He kissed it...
:13:37
and he died.
:13:40
That's tough, ma'am...
:13:42
on you, I mean.
:13:43
Why, I'm sure it's nothing...
:13:45
to what you have been
through, Mr. Allison.

:13:49
We was on a sub...
:13:51
lying off some island
with a code name.

:13:54
My party was supposed
to go ashore...

:13:56
and do a recon.
:13:57
We had the rafts
over the side already.

:13:59
We was just getting in them...
:14:01
What I mean,
we was half on, half off.

:14:03
Suddenly a light hits us.
:14:05
20-millimeter stuff
started pouring in.

:14:06
So the skipper
takes the sub down...

:14:08
which is according
to his book...

:14:10
but a little tough
on us gyrines.

:14:13
We're crawling around there
in the water...

:14:15
and suddenly the Jap boat
starts dropping depth charges.

:14:17
It's like the whole ocean
is exploding.

:14:19
Something bumps into me.
:14:21
A raft, empty.
:14:23
So, I pull myself onto it,
heave my guts up...

:14:26
Begging your pardon,
ma'am.

:14:29
Next thing I know,
it's daylight.

:14:30
There's no land in sight.
:14:32
Guess that's about it,
till I hit here.

:14:36
Thank God you were
spared, Mr. Allison.

:14:42
Same goes for you,
ma'am.

:14:46
Well, I...
:14:48
think I'll get
a little rest now.

:14:50
You'll be all right
here on the verandah?

:14:52
Oh, sure.
Sure, ma'am.

:14:53
Good night,
Mr. Allison.

:14:55
Good night, ma'am.
