- 0515 Morning- General quarters.
- 0900-Arrived Morotai. We have complete control of the part of the island where we are. We could see planes about a couple of miles off bombing. One fell about 500 yards from us. That was the closest we came to any resistance at all. Morotai is only about 12 miles from Halmahera. You can see Halmahera real good from Morotai. Americans dropped about 210 tons of bombs on Halmahera today.
- 1100- Beached and started unloading supplies. There was a few anti aircraft and demolition bombs going off about all day.
- 630pm. Retracted from beach. Started back for Halmahera with an LCI in tow. Morotai had 2 light air attacks right after we left.
