Guadalcanal Diary

00:02:17 is a peaceful, lazy day of rest here on our transport

00:05:01 Clean sweep-down fore and aft.

00:07:43 Yes, this has been a peaceful, lazy day of rest almost everywhere on the ship.

00:11:10 - Now you"re talking. - ""Each of us has a task.""

00:14:00 - How many hours" difference is there? - 19 between here and San Francisco.

00:17:36 We must have almost passed their bateries.

00:22:56 Push right on, but be careful.

00:26:57 They keep pointing to the hills. l guess that"s where the rest of them went.

00:30:27 Know for a moment that we"re only tiny particles caught up in the whirlpool of war

00:33:44 We lost four cruisers last night off Savo. We beat them off, though, but good.

00:36:12 - Sure. l"m glad to have you, Alvarez. - Thank you, sir.

00:41:03 Soose, go in and see if you can find him.

00:48:55 Colonel Grayson says to watch your fire. Only fire toward the beach.

00:52:19 Hold it. l"ll lift you up.

00:55:13 Yahoo! Mail.

00:57:48 Are you sure there"s nothing for me? Sammy Klein?

01:00:57 - He"s been hit. - You"ll be all right. lt"s concussion.

01:04:15 Take some of those pineapples.

01:08:39 Condition red. Condition red.

01:12:25 l never been in a spot like this before in my life.

01:15:53 - The which? - The love life, stupid.

01:18:47 Things that are never very far from our thoughts.

01:21:50 And what of the men who are now advancing?

10:19:04 will be our last day on the island.
