Now, this next part gets very interesting in light of tonight's Nova program discussed in an earlier entry today.
Clark saw a Japanese mini submarine and that must have been the one that was found.
From the bathhouse where we last left our erstwhile survivor, James W. Clark recalled seeing "a two-man Japanese submarine close by and coming into the harbor. It released a torpedo at one of our ships which was anchored in the harbor. I was expecting a big explosion but the torpedo barely missed the ship and went up and hit the beach.
"One of our destroyers was coming out of the harbor and ran over the sub. Just as it cleared the sub, it dropped two depth charges. There were two big water spouts and I never saw any more of the sub."
Perhaps this was the last anybody has ever seen of that submarine until tonight's show?
A Nice Tie-In to the TV Show. --DaCoot
