Mgm- tf- e i?-f, ir' W. the launches, long lines at the ship's service, a continual rush for the miniature Oahu rail- way whose trains were always threatening to pull out immediately, but never did - all these provided a never-ending buzz of excitement and activity. Into Honolulu we rode, to find a modern, crowded city, complete with movies, street cars, and plenty of soda- fountains. Souvenir shops as always did a thriving business and there not take a grass skirt, coral necklace or other items considered to typify The busses marked Waikiki were easily spotted and before long beach and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel became a favorite meeting place were few who did the islands. this world-famous for us. Swimming, sun-bathing, and attempts at surf-riding were soon popular sports, sometimes a stop at the palatial, temple-like, Waikiki theatre would finish the day. A minor discussion always went on as to whether Waikiki was all it was advertised to be. A few of the more intrepid explorers among us discovered Kailua Beach on the other side of the island and had much to say about it. Crossing the island to this other popular beach also included a rather exciting trip across the Pali. The Pali is a pass through the mountains which form the back-bone of Oahu. On the farther side of the mountains, the hills fall away almost vertically, giving a breath-taking view and ensuing ride to the fields and beaches below. There was plenty to keep us busy and time passed quickly. The softball teams played almost every evening at Richardson Field and the L division nosed out the N division for the intra-ship championship. We had started unloading soon after our arrival at Pearl, at Merrie's Point. We found the heavy pressure of war did not reduce easily, for, caught almost unawares by the quick collapse of japan, the Navy was in the midst of preparations for its greatest thrust. Long-laid plans could not be scrapped in a week, and the Mar- quetlels' future was determined by policy set far in advance. The momentum gained by the war potential did not decrease till we coasted to a stop three months later in Samar. After unloading, a stay on AK.-I Rnfw, and partially loading at the Army Base at Iroquois Point, we went to the docks at Honolulu to top off our cargo. During the short trip from Pearl Harbor to Honululu, the small boats proceeded on their own, and it was their first extended sea trip. We saw a little more of Honolulu and Oahu, some of the crew taking a tour around the whole island. It only took a few days at Honolulu and we were ready for sea. The morning we were to leave, the Wlatsonia, first liner to come from the mainland since the war's start, tied up at the Matson Docks. VVe sailed that afternoon, and with a final wave to Aloha Tower, proceeded to sea. We met Admiral Halsey's great Third Fleet including the Texas and the Missouri, going into Pearl on their way back to the States. The special sea detail was secured, the sea watches set, and we were on our way to Guam with our cargo. C129

STEPPINGSTONE - Guam - The Marqizette came to this largest island of the Marianas Group in early October, after an uneventful trip from Pearl Harbor. Recalling this visit to Guam, we all no doubt think of the roundabout path taken into the inner harbor and dock area. A day of so after our arrival, we received word of a tropical storm whose center was expected to strike close by. We had entered Apra Harbor on the 2nd and proceeded to our anchorage. The storm warning was received on the afternoon of the 4th and it was decided to ride out the earlier stages inside the breakwater, in the expectation that the center might veer away. On that same night, however, the CV, Bonne Homme Richard, parted her moorings due to her immensity and the force of the wind, and she was forced to put out to sea immediately. VVe followed the next morning, along with some small rarriers, to ride out the worst of the storm at sea. It appeared from the number of ships maneuvering off Guam that a second invasion was about to take place. Soon though, the center of the storm veered sharply northward, and we were able to re-enter the harbor. Coming in slowly, we maneuvered into our berth, getting a good view of the harbor itself and the many large Navy ships and floating drydofks anchored there, Interspersed among these were quite a few amplzilzious landing fraff. One of the tall cliffs that project into the mouth of Apra Harbor was among the few in this area that made history. Here on this high bluff lived a Radioman first class named Tweed, who was all but forgotten in the japanese invasion of this group of islands. He decided to hold out, along with others who were later killed, instead of surrendering to the invasion armies. His home for two and one-half years was a cave that was set back deep in the rock formation that over-looked the harbor. His only means of supply was natives who risked their lives so that he might obtain food. On the day of our invasion, a destroyer that hovered near the beach saw his frantic signalling and although a bit puzzled, investigated. He was discovered, and after a cautious approach and check, he was quickly brought aboard ship. As always, after dropping anchor in a new port, our first thought was mail. The mail boat returned that Sabbath PM loaded down, and the mad scramble was on when the word was passed, All mail PO's lay down to the post office and pick up your division's mailu. There were some sad hearts as well as bright ones aboard this ship that afternoon, for a few Dear John communiques were scattered among the divisions' mail. Summing up the story thus far, we would say that it was a fairly enlightening arrival at Guam. At first glance, there appeared little to be seen on Guam. Incidents of past destruction could be noticed here and there along the beaches. Jap caves, where long and bloody resist- ance had been encountered, were still in evidence. We soon learned however, that the Sea Bees had created a veritable miracle here following the invasion, for the harbor-and surrounding' areas had been either undeveloped or a mass of wreckage. The beaches and harbor were now cleared and the usual array of Quonset huts and equipment could be seen far up--into the hills overlooking the harbor. The inner harbor was completely man- made, dredged and filled by the Sea Bees. The recently disbanded Advanced Headquarters of Admiral Nimitz were in the heights visible to the north, and movements of all Navy ships in thearea were still controlled by his ofiice. C147
