Sept 15, 1944 - Morning- Passed the equator again. The water sure was smooth today, just like polished glass. In the evening we passed masses of logs and other debris. Probably from so much bombing. We had a man fall or jump overboard today. Another boy jumped in to save him and the last LST in our column picked them both up. The boy overboard had been broke up and had been crying the lazy day or two. Probably because of the invasion. This evening we passed the Schouten Islands to port. We have been traveling very slow so as not to get to Moroti too early. We are due to beach 0700 o'clock Monday morning. We got the news last night about the landing at Moroti. It seems funny getting news that you knew was going to happen. We sure did have a pretty sunset last night. We have been having ever since we have been in the Pacific.
