Grim Reminder. Somewhere in European shipping channels, the mast of a sunken vessel starkly protrudes above the sea to remind this coast guard lookout that the German enemy can still strike with the desperate fury of a cornered beast. Sunken hulks sharpen his eye and his sense of responsibility. On this boy's vigilance depend the lives of hundreds of shipmates and soldiers aboard his Coast Guard-manned troop transport -- on his alertness to detect and report instantly the wake of a torpedo or enemy bombers diving out of the sun.
