The tanks weigh thirty-three tons. The lighters are rated for thirty. There is no pier.
The strip on Tolonga is finished and the fighters are under the trees, which makes the island worth taking. Captain Ruddock, who holds the perimeter, has a section of medium tanks on the water, and the craft bringing them will have nowhere to put her ramp: the reef flat is live coral with the wreck of the old pontoon causeway across it. Chief Doran is told to build a berth before she sails in.
He has three cells of salvaged pontoon, fire-damaged timber, most of the welding gas already spent, and a shovel that can carry pile-driving leads if the lieutenant will let it run again. The raiders now come in low off the water. And Vickery's soundings say the pier cannot go where Doran has been drawing it.
