Describing his first reactions at
seeing unusual activities in the
harbor, he said, "I imagined they
were having unusually heavy
maneuvers, but after seeing two'
planes crash into the Pacific in
flames, and smoke rising in vol

enemy planes. I. could see them
etched against the sky, hordes of
them, but they were . too high to
identify just then.
"We started to evacuate then in
our car, along with some neigh
boring families, birt soon realized
we would be easy- targets on the
open ,road, so we :took shelter on
a hillside. From our compara
tively secure. position we could
watch the -destruction being rain
ed down on Pearl Harbor, Hick

part of Wheeler Field.
. "After the raid was over, ev

ception, turned out to help with
repair and reconstruction work.
Even those who had started to
evacuate came back to aid in the
rebuilding. The peOple Were in
censed. Both ' Japanese. and Am
ericans in Hawaii were angry at
the sneak attack, and this served
to bind them in. .intense -loyalty
to the United States."
