Hacksman, C.D. 1965 Journal 65 February 21-25 Pago Pago, Amer. Samoa Arrived at 0900 on Sunday, February 21 which was one day before we were expected by the people in officialdom - even though they had received and acknowledged several messages from the ship giving the 21st as the date. The first part of the stay was devoted to trip records and reports. The last two days were given over to correspondence, reading and lots of ice cream.
