K. Amerman 1964 Erbud Atoll Marshall Islands Oct 28 Brian went in to Anado joinite early in the morning to collect ticks from Brown Booty chicks. Roger, Larry shinned, Phil, George & I wrapped fish from Taka. The captain requested that all love gear be stowed before we got underway for Kwajalein. I translated this became "Get all that crap off the deck so we don't resemble a Chinese sampan!" So we spent a few happy hours 'shifting glass balls around (they're now hanging in clusters from the bulbheads in the hold, like grapes), bugging outsized clam shells about, merely tossing garbage overboard (sometimes it was hard to distinguish the treasures from the latter) and generally straightening up. In the process our storage area below and the forward lab got straightened up. We found gear we hadn't seen for weeks. I'm surprised we didn't run across the photographs in there somewhere, curled up in an ammo box - we see him so seldom any more. About 2:30 we left the lagoon. I promptly went asleep, was awakened for supper. Weather still
