His flagship, the Augusta, anchored in the Whangpoo, was struck by a shell which killed two and wounded seventeen of his men His was the trying job of getting Americans out the war zone. He was responsible for the conduct of American sailors and marines during dangerous and highly-provocative times. Refugees were sprayed with shrapnel by careless or indifferent gunner: Bombers rained death on native and foreign civilians, among them many women and children of the port. War-drunk Japanese hauled down American flags and there were reports that some of the flags had been flung into the river. A detachment atiempted to take over a section of Shanghai held by the marines. Then there was the Panay affair—when one of the Admiral’s own warships and three other American vessels were sunk by Japanese bombers in the Yangtze Incident followed incident as the weeks went by The air was thick with menace. A single misstep on the part of the Admiral or his men might have brought about a catastrophe. Yet he and they came through without a single black mark to their dis it. Quite the contrary.
