A Dwarf Sitting


As soon as the day dawned, the soldiers saw 10,000 Japanese soldiers stationed on the kolombangar Island-three miles to the north-east and some at the Vella Lavella-five miles to the west. A Japanese camp was also seen almost one mile to the south. Kennedy ordered his men to keep low so that the Japanese may not notice their silhouettes against the sky. Two wounded men were asked to lie down in the boat, and the rest were ordered to cling to the boat. The entire morning was spent in this way. When Kennedy realized that the danger of the presence of the Japanese on the tiny island had decreased three miles to the north-east, they began to swim towards that direction. In any case, they had to swim as the boat was sinking down. Those who could not swim also began to make an effort to move ahead with the help of timber of the boat, which had been knocked loose by the collision. Kennedy was swimming with the strap of a wounded engineer in his teeth. Often the salt water lapped into his mouth and he ad to swallow it. There was no other option.
