Lowe
6signalman attempted to contact whoever was doing this sig-
naling between themselves,and then all of a sudden it was
over with. That was, like I say, the day before we entered
the harbor.
Well, we'll come back and talk about this later on, because
we're getting a little bit ahead of our story at this point,
although we don't want to forget about it because obviously
it's an important part of your account of the Pearl Harbor
attack. When you went aboard the Neosho,what sort of reception
did you get from the rest of the crew that was there? Do
you recall?
I don't recall. It was favorable.
Where were you assigned?
I was assigned to the number one storeroom which is in the bow
of the ship. I was assigned to assist another third class
storekeeper who was a regular Navy man by the name of Earl
Couse. Our job was to issue whatever supplies that came from
that storeroom and also to keep it clean and tidy and well-
stocked.
I assume that there was no friction between you and Couse?
None whatsoever. At that time, I guess you could call us very
close friends.
I guess probably he welcomed another man in that storeroom to
help him.Marcello:
