y father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship,   which was sunk in World War Ⅱ.The book
Night of the Uboats told the story.
     Memories
     In September,   1940,   my mother,   sister and I went to Swansea,   where my father's ship was
getting ready to sail.We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep
him safe.
     Then I remember my mother lying face down,   sobbing.She had heard from a friend that the ship
had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).
     I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),   which in those days always brought bad news.
My grandmother opened it.It read,   "Safe.Love Ted."
     My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father's knee,   his arm in a
bandage.
     He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war.For
as long as I can remember,   he had a weak heart.Mother said it was caused  by the torpedoes.He
said it was because of the cigarettes.Whichever,   he died suddenly in his early 50s.
     Ten years later I read Night of the Uboats and was able to complete the story.
    Torpedo
    One torpedo struck the ship.Father was in the engine room,   where the third engineer was killed.
He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
     By the time he got on deck(甲板) he was alone.Every lifeboat was gone except one which had
stuck fast.When he tried to cut it free,   it swung against the ship,   injuring

我的父亲是一艘商船的总工程师,这艘船在二战中沉没了.但是（沉船的）故事记录在了《U型艇之夜》这本书里.
回忆
九月,1940年,母亲,姐姐和我去斯旺西（英国一个港口）,我父亲的船正准备启航.我们给他带来了全家福,让他随身携带,希望能保他平安.
后来,我记得,母亲趴着抽泣.因为她听到一个朋友说,父亲的船被鱼雷击沉了.
我记得,收到电报的那段时间,我们总是接到不好的消息.我的祖母打开了电报,上面写着,“平安,爱你们的 Ted(泰德).”
我最生动最深刻的记忆被唤醒了,好像回到了从前,那时候父亲的胳膊缠着绷带,我坐在他的膝盖上.
政府认为他不适合返回大海,只能在格拉斯哥的岸上工作,为后面的战争做准备.自从我记事以来,他就有心脏衰弱的问题.母亲说是由鱼雷造成的.他却说是因为香烟的缘故.无论哪个原因,他才50出头就突然去世了.
十年后我看了《U艇之夜》,了解了全部的（完整的）故事.
鱼雷
鱼雷击中船的时候,父亲是在机房,第三工程师死亡的地方.他关闭了引擎,以减缓船的速度,使弃船变得更容易.
那时候,独孤的他走上了甲板.所有救生艇都不见了,只有一艘,还被卡住,无法移动了.他试图拉出救生艇,但是救生艇向船行驶的反方向摆动,打伤他的手和手臂.
除了跳船以外他没有别的选择（他只好跳船）----他的口袋里仍然装着那张照片（全家福）.
三天后,他和其他幸存者安全到达了格拉斯哥,所有23个人都在照片背面签了名.
干杯
书和照片都在我的房间里.常常（一般来说）,酒杯在手,我很好奇在下面这些情况下自己会如何处理,比如爆炸、沉船,跳入浩瀚的大海或者等待救援的时候.以免忘记（为了铭记）,我还有一些威士忌,让我们为这些战争英雄干杯吧.
