Interview with Phillip Enright
WT: Why do you think the Germans torpedoed the S.S. Hato?
Phillip: Well, we might've been trespassing into their territory or they could've thought we were a destroyer in disguise.
WT: How did you go blind?
Phillip: I went blind when I was in the water and got hit in the head with some wood which damaged some nerves.
WT: Why did you hate Timothy at first?
Phillip: I was ignorant and racist at first because my mother taught me that black people were different than white people. But after we arrived on the Devil's Mouth, I realized that all of us are the same no matter what color we are.
WT: Speaking of the island, how did you arrive on it?
Phillip: We arrived on the island two days after I went blind after Timothy spotted it.
WT: I heard there was a third survivor on the raft . . . who was that?
Phillip: Do you count a cat as a survivor because I do. His name is Stew Cat and he'd been with Timothy ever since the Hato was sunk.
WT: How did Timothy die?
Phillip:..........Well Timothy died on the island because the hurricane or storm killed him.
WT:Was it tough being alone on the Island with blindness and just a cat?
Phillip:Yes it was but before Timothy died,he thought me how do survive alone even if blind.
WT:How did you get that bite mark on your arm?
Phillip: While I was hunting for Langosta a moray eel attacked me but luckily I made it out before my blood attracted the sharks.
WT:How did you get rescued?
Phillip:I got a signal fire with some palm frond that had left over oil from the storm,and then a U.S destroyer saved me the day after.
WT: If you had the opportunity to go back to the Cay where Timothy is buried what would you say?
Phillip:Ill say "Dis b'dat outrageous cay, eh Timothy?'
