Footnote : Ha-84 came from Cebu and turned southward. "Shadwell" claimed to be damaged by torpedo bombers. Following Japanese sources, there were no torpedo bombers left in the area at that time. Therefore it is probable, that "Shadwell" crossed the route of Ha-84 southwest of Negros. Ha-84 entered Dumaguete on the next day.
