the cover of night to complete these missions. Amagirihas just dropped nine hundred soldiers at Vila, on nearbyKolombangara Island, and is racing back to the Japanesebastion at Rabaul, New Guinea, before dawn will allowAmerican bombers to find and destroy her. She is longerthan a football field but a mere thirty-four feet at thebeam, her shape allowing Amagiri to knife through thesea at an astonishing forty-four miles per hour.In the bow of PT-109, Ensign George “Barney” Ross ofHighland Park, Illinois, also peers into the night. Hisprevious boat was recently, accidentally, sunk by anAmerican bomber, and he volunteered for this mission asan observer. Now Ross is stunned when, through hisbinoculars, he sees the Amagiri just 250 yards away,bearing down on 109 at full speed. He points into thedarkness. The skipper sees the ship and spins the wheelhard, trying to turn his boat toward the rampagingdestroyer to fire his torpedoes from point-blank range—either that, or the Americans will be destroyed.PT-109 can’t turn fast enough.It takes just a single terrifying instant for Amagiri toslice through the mahogany hull. The diagonal incision
egins on the right side, barely missing the cockpit. Theskipper is almost crushed, at that moment thinking tohimself, “This is how it feels to be killed.” Two membersof the thirteen-man crew die instantly. Two more areinjured as PT-109 explodes and burns. The two nearbyAmerican boats, PT-162 and PT-169, know a fatal blastwhen they see one, and don’t wait around to search forsurvivors. They gun their engines and race into the night,fearful that other Japanese warships are in the vicinity.Amagiri doesn’t stop either, speeding on to Rabaul, evenas her crew watches the small American craft burn in herwake.
