Nothing happened. “Up scope!” he repeated impatiently. “No use, Captain,” the machinist mate at the periscope riser control told him. “The scope’s jammed. We have hydraulic pres- sure, but it won’t come up.” Dave recalled that the enemy’s first string of depth charges had included one that shook them up quite a bit. Apparently it had bent the scope in its track. With no periscope, a submarine has limited combat capability. Worse than that, operating in enemy waters in daylight became a hazardous matter be- cause to surface without a preliminary peri- scope check of the situation was to ask for death. Two hours and six miles later, Perch sur- faced. Astern of them the bright glow of the burning maru had disappeared. Fairly good evidence that she had sunk—but not good enough to earn Perch credit for afi actual sinking. The best they could hope for was an assessment of “probably sunk,” with the less rewarding verdict of “damaged” more likely. Submariners who assessed the work of the Silent Service were rugged judges of the - work of their group. RUN NING fast on the surface at night, threading her way in a dangerous game of blindman’s buff during the daylight hours, Perch tortuously made her way southward through the shallow reaches of the western Java Sea, through the Sunda Strait and into the Indian Ocean. Once clear of the South Java coast, Dave surfaced and made four- engine speed to Darwin. In a characteristic northwest monsoon rain Perch made a land- fall sighting of Charles Point, exchanged recognition signals with a Royal Australian Navy minesweeper doing guard duty at the harbor entrance, and 30 minutes later grate- fully tied up alongside the railway jetty. The submarine tenders Holland and Isabel had not yet arrived, and Canopus was still at Manila supporting the dwindling number of submarines who made stealthy forays into Bataan Peninsula to evacuate American and Philippine civilian dignitaries before the American forces were compelled to surrender to the: Japanese. So Perch’s weary crew ‘turned to after a day’s rest to repair their ship, assisted by willing but untrained me- cHanics: Two weeks later, Perch put to sea with orders to patrol off Kendari, Celebes, which on January 24 had fallen to the fast-moving amphibious forces of the Japanese southern striking group. She arrived after the main invasion force had completed its mission, and found no targets. Amid radio reports of bitter surface action in the Molucca and Banda seas, Perch always seemed to be at the wrong place. Dave Hurt and his crew were becoming a bit discouraged at being left out. On the night of February 26, Dave turned southward to take up a new patrol station in the Bali Sea. The nightly intercept of the “Fox” broadcast carrying official radio mes- sages from Cincpac and Cincasiatic head- quarters relayed a series of dismal reports of Allied retreats and defeats. The combined naval command consisting of American, British, Australian, and Dutch units, har- assed by poor communications, was no match for the closely knit, well-trained, and vic- tory-conscious forces of the Japanese Navy. With the need so obvious for every Allied unit to get in its strikes, Dave felt a mounting sense of frustration at the ineffectual record of Perch since the day she had slipped out of Manila Bay more than two months ago. The night of February 25 was clear with light air and smooth sea. Off to port the 900-foot peak on tiny Wangiwangi Island showed clearly some 16 miles away. Dave Hurt paced restlessly on Perch’s narrow bridge. Sharing the watch was Van Buskirk; scanning this menacing stretch of sea. Be- tween them there was a taut silence. “Target dead ahead!” Dave leaped to the TBT and trained its powerful binoculars toward the sighting. The two masts and single funnel of a 10,000-ton “Darling, this is Miss Sawyers, our new neighbor.” COmiclbooOokS.€© iS S
