(3) "Attack on Pearl Harbor; this is not a drill!" (4) With the message burned into his mind, First Mate Lovett all but ran up the ladder to the bridge. (5) "pearl Harbor," he choked out, "It's been attacked!" (6) Turning away from the ship's compass, Captain Steele looked at Lovett with narrowed eyes but made no reply. (7) "Should we change course, Skipper?" Lovett blurted. (8) Steele looked back at the ship's compass but still had nothing to say. (9) Lovett was beginning to feel frantic.

Plus, when you read it with the quotations all weird it's almost like a run-on.

It's B Sentence 10. There should have been single quotes around '...This is no drill...' because it is used as a secondary quote from one of the characters.
