Outer harbor, Nagasaki P boat, with wave paddle on ramp, ready for Nagasaki landing Akuseki Jima in Jokara Gunto, 200 miles south of Nagasaki Ens. Wright views outer harbor, Nagasaki OCCUPATION OF NAGASAKI-Continued Buildings in the few villages visible were in a most disreputable state. Those at the waterfront resembled a slum district. One frame, building had a room which obviously would not shed water, and which apparently housed two families. The only building which remotely resembled those back home was a large, concrete Christian church building, with a large cross atop a neat spire. It looked like a small Cathedral and stood out like a neon light in a dark room. At ll5O we got the word to lower all boats l26 of theml into the water. At 1230 the first wave was well on the way to the beach, 5 miles away. As the waves went in lthere were 12 boats to a wave on this operationl, they travelled down a 4-mile-long estuary. ln approaching the destination in the boats the effects of American bombing became more and more visible as the waves neared the Customs House where cargo and per- sonnel were to be discharged. Grim-faced Japanese soldiers, still wear- ing their khaki clothes and' box-like miner caps, lined the banks, stood in darkened doorways or lounged on piles of debris. Two American nurses aboard the hospital ship USS SANCTUARY earned their month's sal- aries in iust smiling and waving to the sailors and marines as they approached this foreign port. Unloading of personnel proceeded smoothly, as the 600-foot dock facilitated the operation greatly. Cargo, as usual, took much longer to dispose of, because of the limited number of available trucks. But it doesn't take the Marines long to do a iob, and soon all the ships were unloaded. .lap-
