We were able to flood the zone immediately.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In my judgment, if we had pursued this course, the zones would have been of short duration. England would have been compelled to take her mines out of the North Sea in order to get any supplies from our country.
We could receive a storm surge of three to five feet.
If we can find a way to keep floodwater in reserve and to use it when it's needed, it will be a double boon.
The 6th of August in the morning we saw an opening in the land and we ran into it, and anchored in 7 and a half fathom water, 2 miles from the shore, clean sand.
And at ten, or whatever time, in the morning we had the press conference, what we knew is there had been an incident at Three Mile Island, that it was shut down, that there was water that had escaped but it was contained.
They were heading out to the middle of the bay - the Gulf - that's another thing that became kind of standard practice, we didn't hurry the destroyers around the beach any more, when it got dark, we'd take 'em out thirty or forty miles out in the middle of the Tonkin Gulf.
The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless.
As for the zone, I always find the zone immediately after I am sure I will never ever find the zone again because it has left me for some other, better writer.
We were diving in caves. It wasn't totally safe.
I've been fortunate in that I've been forced to move from zone to zone.
