K. Amerman 1964 Erikub Atoll, Marshall Islands overcast and raining off & on, watches unsuccessful and abandoned in mid- Oct 29. The ship entered the lagoon at Kwajalein at breakfast. After what seemed like an inordinate amount of maneuvering we docked for the day at the fuel pier. Visitor's passes were issued by the Global Security guards. Liberty for all shovels began at 10 A.M. and at 10:01 we of the Smithsonian party were on our way eagerly to the PX, known locally as Macijp. We explored the facilities and returned around noon. Dave Perkins, The Bishop Museum entomologist, had come aboard by then; he arrived at Kwaj 3 days ago. Various other forays were made, the last of course to the local pub, the Ocean View. I stayed to watch the movie while Phil, Jim, Al and some others went next door to The Crossroads. Roger & I returned to the ship right after the movie. About curfew time (10:30) the others began straggling in and it was immediately apparent that Jim was in a nasty, belligerent mood.
