An air raid warning sounded at 6:30 a.m., and the bombardment from the ships was worse than yesterday. One of the Japanese soldiers said that American forces had landed at Kerama, Zamani, and Tokashiki islands southwest of Naha. So we left home at 7:00 p.m. to go to Ginowan along with some neighbors. We found a cart on which we loaded bare necessities -- blankets and clothes for the children. The cart also carried Grandfather (83 years old), Sachiko (9 months), and Takashi (2 years, 7 months). Chiyo pulled the cart while Emiko (8 years old), Takenobu (6 years old), and I pushed. We passed Shuri on the hill.
