We received or- ders from the port director via one of the signal towers to anchor in Berth 131', and await the boarding of- ficers. The navigator got out his charts and found 131 up by Tokyo so we went mer- rily on our way - away, away, away from all the ships in the harbor, away from sight of any naval in- stallations, away from all indications of civilization, Iapanese artists sketching bomb damage away from everything. We anchored and waited. Finally an army motor launch was sighted headed toward us. They ap' proached, looked us over, and went on. That was all for that day. The next day we saw a couple of Iapanese fishing fleets tacking back and forth across the bay nearby but nothing of any boarding oflicers. Finally in the afternoon of the second day there came a call on the -radio 'cWhere are you -why didnit you anchor in berth 131?v We sent back a reply, We are an- chored in berth 131, where are you PM We received the answer, Coordinates of berth Baker-131 are -1-, ---. Proceed there immediately. The Navigator got out his anchorage charts and looked for the anchorage at the given coordinates but found nothing there. lt was too late to move that afternoon anyway so we waited till the next morning and moved in the fog, When the Captain and Navigator got to the Port Director's oflice for a conference, they found that our charts were more up to date t ' 1 as ,Rm-cw N as Q I Ir H NM , An open air market in Yokohama ta ie us into a pier V an The f ff, ff ts, an the Port clarts in the gfili' VVhen we pf ned. ln the afte tc proceed to Yol-1 a .other message, a tchored T vue tied up to pirty which bfok tl en ran off to fit That afterfioa: tie war had done cuite well fed tie elfort of the f

It was in the afternoon of 4 Ianuary that we com- pleted our transit through the Canal and set our course for Pearl Harbor. It was nice to get into the calm Pacific again after almost Hve rough months in the Atlantic. We were enjoying the luxury of sailing with- out passengers and all hands took their share of the sun. We arrived in Pearl Har- bor I4 Ianuary, having aver- aged 19.7 knots for the trip. This was the first time that the crew of the ADMIRAL CAPPS had had a chance to get ashore in her three trips to Hawaii. They took advantage of it but they didn't have enough time to get a look at 'cbeautiful Hawaiiw. It was just one liberty for each section and then we were off again with a load of about zoo Iapanese- American troops who were going to lapan as occupa- tional troops. It was in the morning of 16 Ianuary that we set our course for Yoko- hama. We arrived there on 24 Ianuary having averaged IQ.I2 knots for the trip.
