STORY OF USS FLIER 2nd PATROL AND ITS SURVIVORS PART Ⅱ OF Ⅲ PARTS

摘要

The men who stayed at the camp had noticed water dripping from the coral and thought that it was fresh. It was only seawater that had splashed up there at high tide. But, as they had gathered about two shells full, we were satisfied to believe thatrnit was fresh, and so each took about three teaspoonfuls. We used a little shell about the size of a teaspoon to dish it out to each of us.rnAt about 1815, as we were sitting and looking out to where the ship had gone down, we noticed a large geyser of water come up. Shortly afterwards we heard an explosion. We have no idea what caused the explosion. It may have been a mine going off, or something from the ship. Another plane had passed over in the afternoon without deviating from its course.
