- Hang on!- Watch his head! —堅持! -小心他的頭!
我們剛載上的人員使得飛機有點兒超載。
被壓低的飛行高度。
使得我們撞向下一個巨浪。
這個巨浪把涌向飛機
拉松了左側的推進器。
斯特拉頓拉住油門
想讓另一個推進器有足夠力量
防止我們傾覆。
在掉落推進器砸向他前，他必須要拉住油門。
這樣過了有一百秒。
災難就發生了
但我們安全了。
難以置信。
我在後面照顧剛登機受傷的傷員。
其餘的傢伙們在忙著削鉛筆。
用以塞住飛機上的鉚釘眼。
因為機艙很快地在進水。
副駕駛告訴我，斯特拉頓中尉嚴重受傷。
讓我到前面去照顧他。
我們的飛行醫師在和別的飛機一起執行任務，
沒有回來。
所以這幾天他們任命我擔任飛行醫師。
一個鋒利物穿過了駕駛艙
擊中了機長耳朵的上部。
它的左耳到右眼都被劃開了。
我仔細地檢查了傷口
因為他們沒有向我們講解
遇到這種情況該怎麼辦。
我手捧起他的頭
讓他躺在副駕駛的座位上
我必須止血
唯一的方法就是壓住傷口
這樣，血液從耳朵眼裡流出
並涌向兩側太陽穴。
這樣我就按住了太陽穴的動脈和靜脈。
現在我也不知道，做的是對還是錯。
你極目遠眺
大浪都向你涌來。
我感到世界靜止不動了。
以前是什麼樣，現在還是什麼樣...
涌向你的巨浪也成了巨大空間。
And in the meantime, 與此同時，
the radioman had been very busy searching for help 報務員一直在忙著尋找幫助，
and he got in touch with a submarine, 他與一艘潛艇取得聯繫，
the U.S.S. Tigrone, 美國海軍獅虎號，
and I think it took them an hour, 我認為他們花了一個小時，
or maybe a little more, 或者更多一點的時間，
to reach our destination,which they did. 才到達我們的位置，他們確實做到了。
又有問題了
怎麼運送斯特拉頓中尉。
把他從飛機裡運到潛艇上。
他們安裝了一個吊繩
他們把他抬到後面的艙門。
Scheuch. 舒淇。
You go on now. 你先下去。
I can"t, I...I have to make sure 我不行，我...我不能保證
- everyone gets... - Walter. -每人都要... -沃特。

They transported the pilot 他們用吊索把飛行員
from the plane to the sub in a sling of some kind. 從飛機運到潛艇上。
Then the front of the sub pulled up to the plane wing. 然後潛艇的前部拉住機翼。
The nose of the sub was,I want to say, 我估計，潛艇的頭部
about two or three feet beyond the end of the wing. 距離機翼的端部也就是2-3英尺。
To get on the sub, 為了登上潛艇，
we all climbed out one of the windows of the plane 我們都從機艙窗口爬出
and made our way out on the wing. 踏上機翼
As the swells came by,we"d go up and down. 在浪來的時候，我們就上下不穩。
One moment,the sub would be below us 有時，潛艇在我們的下部
and the next moment, 下一個時刻，
it"d rise up above us and then back down. 它又升到我們之上，然後再退下來。
Well, we walked out on the end of the plane wing 我們走到機翼的端頭，
and when the sub would start coming up, we"d jump on it. 等潛艇即將要上升時，就跳過去。
You had to time it just right. 你必須掌握好時機。

All those men on the plane made that transfer safely 飛機上所有的人都安全轉移了，
with no incident whatsoever. 沒有發生意外。
They"d already taken the wounded guy. 他們還轉移了傷員。
Thank goodness we found out later 感謝上帝，我們時候發現
he didn"t have a broken back. 他沒有傷到後背。
Come to find out, he had a whole bunch of flesh 原來才搞清楚，他的大腿被
gouged out of one thigh. 撕下了一大塊肉。
They got him straightened around pretty well. 他們把他安頓的挺好。
Being as I had been taking care of Lieutenant Stratton, 由於我一直在照顧斯特拉頓中尉，
I was next to the last man off the plane. 我是倒數第二撤離飛機的人。
The last man was Captain Zalkan, our navigator. 最後一個人是扎爾坎機長，我們的領航員。
But we all made it safe and sound with no problems. 但我們都安然無恙，沒有任何問題。
那砰砰作響的東西是個小引擎。
它在努力地排出機艙內的水。
它還在響個不停。
在我們離開飛機時，它還在抽水。
它在我們最需要它的時候，表現出色。
潛艇指揮官果斷下令他的甲板炮
把我們的飛機炸沉在水裡。
炸了它，打沉它。
有點兒挖苦的是，
他把這個也列進他們的擊沉噸位業績表中。
眼見它消失，失落感頓生。
可以說，她是我們的老情人。
你知道嗎？我們有兩大損失。
我們失去了飛機，也失去了斯特拉頓。
We thought Stratton was as good a pilot as we could have. 我們認為斯特拉頓是最好的飛行員。
We thought he was as good a pilot as there was 我們認為他是這個行動中
in the organization. 最好的飛行員。
就在那天晚上的某個時刻，斯特拉頓死了。
我不明白他怎麼還能堅持活得那麼久。
我覺得不應該是這樣
潛艇上的醫師，
他說，：“你對此無能為力。”
他說，“如果此事發生在約翰霍普金斯醫院的手術台上...
結果也會一樣。”
很顯然現在...
我對於救助他
無能為力
第二天早晨，他們給他舉行了海葬。
我病得都不能去參加。
They surfaced, 他們浮出水面,
it would have been a formal burial at sea. 這應該是一場正式的海葬。
Captain Cassedy, the captain of the Tigrone, 卡塞迪船長，即獅虎號的艇長，
he would read the burial service, 他主持了海葬儀式，
and then the body will be slidover the side of the ship, 然後屍體就會從船邊滑下來
with the crew at attention. 此時全員立正。
Hiram took things on the boat personally. 海勒姆是親自上甲板的。
It was done with dignity,respect, and love. 這是帶著尊嚴，尊重和愛完成的。
這艘潛艇共搭救了33人：
我們的機組，還有我們搭救的B-29機組，
外加另外一個B-29機組。
我相信還有一架小型的中程轟炸機和一架戰鬥機上的飛行員。
我估計當時潛艇上共有33人。
我們中有些人不得不睡在魚雷艙中。
That was a record. 那真是一個紀錄
That was the most pilots and aircrew rescued 這是救生潛艇救出的飛行員和機組人員
by any lifeguard submarine. 最多的一次。
The sub put them ashore on Iwo Jima on June the 1st. 6月1日，潛艇將他們送上硫磺島海岸。
And there"s a picture of them on the deck of the Tigrone 就在獅虎號停靠在硫磺島時，他們在甲板上

to Commander in Chief,submarines, and said, 給潛艇艦隊總司令發的，文中說
"Tigrone has saved the Air Force and is returning to Iwo Jima “獅虎號拯救了落難航空隊，並用28毫米廣角鏡頭
with 28 Zoomies." 並把他們帶回硫磺島。”
We"d come back from a mission one time 由於這次行動帶回的人員太多，
and there was a large group of people around a tent. 我們就在其他帳篷附近，搭了一個大帳篷。
One of the survivors was telling us what had happened. 其中一個倖存者告訴我們發生了什麼。
I got to talk to John Logan, 我得告知約翰.洛根，

I was on a plane headed for Iwo Jima. 我坐進了飛往硫磺島的飛機。
I noticed that he had me sit in the pilot seat. 我注意到，他讓我坐在正駕駛的位置上。
Well, I didn"t realize it at the time, 我當時還沒有意識到什麼，
but later, I found out the reason that I flew 但後來，我發現了原因，
in the pilot seat is because 我坐在正駕駛的位置
when the prop comes off of that motor, 是因為曾經有，發動機螺旋槳葉片脫落，
it comes and kills the pilot. 打死正駕駛的先例。
So, Bud and I became great friends later on after the war 雖然在戰後，巴德和我一直是鐵哥們，
and I never ceased to remind him of that fact. 但我還時不時提醒他這個事實。
And he always blushed up and said, 他總是紅著臉說，
