l SAN DIEGO The day before we arrived in San Diego, aboiler tube in 43 boiler ruptured While the boiler was steaming. Quick action by the engineers on watch prevented our having a really major casualty. We arrived in San Diego along with a light drizzle which stayed there with us., Even with the rains, nearly everyone went ashore, because this was our last touch on the mainland of the United States., Many of us called home to reassure families and loved ones that all was Well, but mainly because We missed them so much. We Walked across the border into Tiajuana , Mexico--a rather noisy and dirty city. We had our usual fun and saw the sights, then hurried back to San Diego, sunny California fwhere it rained everyday we were therej . The USS STICKELL fDDR-8881 joined our Division in San Diego., I 2

We came into Pearl Harbor for what was to have been a short stay, but the BARTON--lucky girl-- stayed aweek while the rest of the Division steamed on across the turbulent Pacific. Our boiler was repaired atthe Navy Yard at Pearl. This afforded us our golden opportunity to see Hawaii, land ,of enchantment--and Dole Pineapple. The Royal Hawaiian Hotel and Don the Beach- comber's on Waikiki Beach were the most frequented places. Some of us saw honeymooners Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio at the Royal Hawaiian. The beach was beautiful as was Diamond Head Mountain. We all took a lot of pictures--ooh! that hula-hula! X fm. Z' 'gf -wil 'S
