Japanese aircraft from Saipan occasionally flew over the island, but without dropping bombs. No attempt was made to engage them, for there were only eight American machines in Guam, and the Governor had determined to hold these in reserve to meet an emergency. On the morning of March 18 the look-out station on Alutum reported smoke on the southern horizon, whereupon a plane was sent up to scout. The newcomers proved to be the destroyers Dent, Lamberton, and Rizal (the last-named fitted as a ...minelayer), which had broken out from Manila Bay before the capitulation. When still some ten miles west of Oroté Point, the flotilla was observed to be zigzagging, putting on speed, and making a smoke screen. A few minutes later the leading boat opened fire, and depth charges began to explode. It was evident to the watchers ashore that a hostile submarine was attempting to attack; but if so, it seemed to have failed, for the three boats came on at high speed. Then, just as the second boat in the line (the Dent) was drawing abreast of Oroté Point, a column of water shot up from her starboard side, followed by the dull boom of an explosion.
