The ship, sailing alone, was subjected to four dive-bombing attacks by Japanese aircraft which also machine-gunned the decks. The vessel received two direct hits which caused considerable damage and started a fire. The fire was extinguished although the water service pipes of the ship had been destroyed and buckets had to be used. The master displayed courage, and his skill in handling the vessel was mainly instrumental in her reaching port safely.

The chief engineer officer and the chief officer were outstanding in fighting the fire and their combined efforts contributed greatly to the saving of a valuable ship and cargo.
