Ten years later I readNight of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.

　　Torpedo

　　One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room,where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.

　　By the time he got on deck (甲板)he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free,it swung against the ship,injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.

　　Three days later,he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.

　　A Toast

　　In my room is the book and the photograph. Often,glass in hand,I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion,a sinking ship,a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue?Lest(以免)we forget,I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.
