2010: All quiet. A minute later two batteries opened up for two or three minutes — one in front and one behind us.

2040: For around 20 minutes now, heavy American batteries in three separate locations have been in action against at least three objectives: Taft Avenue, U.P. or City Hall, Intramuros, San Juan or rather Diliman with Intramuros just echoing the explosions — systematically covering possible Japanese gun emplacements. There is no Japanese response. The most ambitious shelling is coming from España and to the north.

...ooOoo...
