We had no more than entered the bay then it became almost as light as day. The search lights from Dewey 's fleet were turned on ns.

Dewey's fleet lies off Cavite, just at the entrance of the bay. We steamed up the bay within a half mile of Manila and anchored and we had to lay there for three days before we could land. They landed us Sunday December 11. They could not pull close enough to the shore with an ocean steamer so we put on lighters and towed in. They had barracks ready for us, and we could not ask for better quarters and we get good grub since we came ashore.

The boys seem to be satisfied now since we came ashore, as for Manila I'll bet it looks today just like it did 100 years ago.
