GUAM PEARL HOME AT LAST SAFE AND SOUND...

5 ' Pearl Harbor presented a picturesque scene as we steamed in on a late Saturday after- noon two weeks after leaving Guam. Green foliage and palm trees, light tan sandy beaches, dark brown and purple hills, were outlined against the vivid blue sky to give a contrast of colors that was breathtaking. As we slid into our berth alongside the dock na- tive Hawaiian girls danced and swayed to the traditional songs of the Islands. Nature was not the only thing that was to give us a treat when we arrived in Hawaii. Uptown Honolulu was the States away from the States. Modern buildings, blazing neon signs, new cars all made us aware that this was part of what we knew as the United States. September 2nd, 1953 was just an ordinary Wednesday to most people, but for us it was one of the most important days in our entire cruise in WESTPAC. The day hod finally ar- rived when we were to get bock to San Diego and the States. Words and pictures couldn ' t capture the thoughts and emotions that filled our minds and hearts as we steamed ino San Diego. This was the end of the Epping Forest ' s second cruise in WESTPAC. And although most of us did not enjoy being away from the States for such a long time we shall always remem- ber this cruise. The people we met, the places we went, and the things we did will always hold a special place in our catalog of memories.
