:26:02
...so we formed ourselves
into tight groups.
:26:07
Kinda like old squares in a battle
like you see on a calendar...
:26:10
...like the Battle of Waterloo.
:26:12
The idea was,
the shark comes to the nearest man...
:26:14
...and he starts poundir
hollerir and screamir.
:26:17
Sometimes the shark would go away...
:26:21
...but sometimes he wouldn't go away.
:26:23
Sometimes that shark,
he looks right into you...
:26:26
...right into your eyes.
:26:28
Y ou know, a thing about a shark, he's got...
:26:31
...lifeless eyes.
:26:33
Black eyes, like a doll's eyes.
:26:37
When he comes at you,
he doesn't seem to be livir...
:26:40
...until he bites you.
:26:42
Those little black eyes
roll over white and then...
:26:47
...then you hear
that terrible high-pitched screamir.
:26:50
The ocean turns red...
:26:52
...in spite of the poundir and the hollerir,
they all come in.
:26:58
They rip you to pieces.
:27:04
Y ou know, by the end of that first dawn...
:27:08
...we lost 100 men.
:27:11
I don't know how many sharks.
Maybe 1,000.
:27:13
I don't know how many men,
they averaged six an hour.
:27:17
On Thursday mornir,
I bumped into a friend of mine...
:27:20
...Herbie Robinson, from Cleveland.
:27:23
Baseball player, bosurs mate.
:27:28
I thought he was asleep.
:27:30
Reached over to wake him up.
:27:33
He bobbed up and down
in the water just like a kind of top.
:27:38
Upended.
:27:43
He'd been bitten in half, below the waist.
:27:49
Noon the fifth day,
a Lockheed Ventura saw us.
:27:53
He swung in low and he saw us.
He was a young pilot.
:27:56
Y ounger than Mr. Hooper. He saw us...
:27:58
...and he came in low,
and three hours later...
