Into that night of June 8, living through seventeen hours without help from the Sixth Fleet, the men were nervous and fearful. People gathered on the bridge, looking out for the rescue planes that would never come, or for the return of their tormentors. “We were just kind of waiting for whoever it was that had come and gotten us,” sailor James O'Connor said, “to come back and finish us off.”11 All the sailors felt the stress of adversity, which would endure among many of them for a lifetime. Most had responded with unselfishness and valor, no one more than George Golden, to whom many believe they owed their lives. It was engineer Golden to whom Joseph Conrad's insight best applied: “For surely it is a great thing to have commanded a handful of men worthy of one's undying regard.”12 It was George Golden who best deserved the gratitude of his shipmates.
