[Confidential]

From: U.S.S. Balao
Patrol: Third
Period: from February 23 to April 6, 1943

March 17: Did not dive this morning. Visibility was excellent and sea calm. Had some difficulty in dodging all of the junks and trawlers to prevent being sighted.

0800; Dived on what we thought was a plane contact. After talking it over, considered contact was very likely a flight of three geese. Stayed submerged while a few junks got out of sight.

1000; Surfaced.

Many lighted sampans sighted during the night.
