 Shortly thereafter, the crew on "Tillamook" heard the destroyer radioman announced "Shot, out"—it was on the way.A few second later, a salvo of fire shattered about 50-100 yards short of "Tillamook" and then before the crew could react, a second salvo was on the way that landed about 50-100 yards long.Although the salvos missed, shrapnel hit the side of "Tillamook", and the crew collected them in a box and gave them to the destroyer as a present the following day while delivering the mail to the fleet.
