HOOK, LINE AND GRANITE CLIFF l The first United States amphibious un- loading operation in the history of the Antarctic continent could never have been accomplished without the successful efforts of the Arneb's hatch crews and coxswains who, with the Seabees, were the key fig- ures in the unloading operations. Working in two, I2-hour shifts, around the clock, cargo was transferred in a con- stant flow from the Arneb's holds into the huge landing craft and hence onto the beach. I CARGO LIFT BIG HELP IN THE HOLDS -........,, 4 1 When the unloading was finally com- pleted, the ship's first and second divisions had unloaded and moved to the base site 2,600 measured tons of cargo.
