In the early morning hours of October 15, Major Robert B. Lothrop, a former post engineer on Fort Mills, Corregidor Island, Philippines, asked to go to the latrine. A West Point gymnast, Lothrop, wriggled out of the porthole and landed in the water. A sentry sounded the alarm, and Lothrop was killed as he swam away from the Arisan Maru, after taking four direct hits. The Japanese sent a launch to retrieve his body and gave the thirty-seven-year-old major – the father of an eight-year-old daughter back home – a formal burial at sea.
