Abour Mortorn MGing suvivors....
Taken from a lookout on the brige.
"The distant rattle of machine-gun fire came to my ears.
"Damm him" Mortorn voive roared. "Roger, have the gun crews knock that machine gun in the motor launch out of the watter"
"Aye, aye sir" Lt. Pane replied.
"Commence firing on the motor launch"
This was follwed by sevral rounds from the deck gun and the rattle of the 20 millmeters.
A sharp explosion by the 20 millimeters caused me to jump. I looked down and saw the barrel pointing in the air and Gerlacher stagered dazedly from the gun. Glinski was sitting on the deck and looking stupidly at his right foot. The shoe lether was brutally torn and I could see blood spurting from his right foot.
"Pharmacist mate to the brige! on the dubble" O'Kane yelled down the voice tube.
A yell went up from the deck-gun crew. I gathered that the motor launch had been hit.
"Cease fireing, cease firing"
The MG on the moter launch had wounded 2 of the Wahoo's crewmen. And only the moter launch was shot at.
