November 12, 1944 - 668’s port engine went out, so they had to turn back to Neomfoor or Hollandia one, so the Commander of LST group 22 (Pope) and his staff transferred to our ship. We are now flag of group 22. When they were transferred in the small boat, the small boats engine went out, so we had to leave our place in the front of the column and go back and pick up the small boat. We were about 8 miles behind the convoy by the time we did that, but we are in our original place now.
