		We were there just long enough to load some much needed supplies, refuel, take aboard three hundred and twenty one sacks of mail for delivery to the United States, and embark 1545 army personnel and 85 Officers.
		We were there long enough, however, to see how this island, which we had occasion to visit in February, had expanded and now presented an impressive picture to any would be aggressors.
		During that long period of many weeks, even months, the crew, seeing the ship being stripped of everything for lighter duty, must have realized that this was the beginning of the end for their home of two years and three Pacific crossings.
