September 11, 1945

11- _____ This morning we sighted the Hospital Ship USS Hope _ the CA Wichita & one DD was also with her _ She also had 5 Mine sweepers. They all entered (Nagasaki Bay) this morning to pick up our prisoners there. We came back in closer to (Nagasaki Bay) this morning & went out again tonight. I saw one plane turn over on the S___ No 27. It rained about all day. (A fellow died in sickBay from heart acttack)
