Now, with a full load of go juice in our tanks we again set a Westerly course and headed for our next and most important port, Yokosuka, Japan. However, enroute to Yoko- suka, we had quite a jolt when we retired the night of Wednesday, February 20th and arose the next morning to find that it was Friday, February 22nd. We finally credited this to the fact that we had crossed the 180th Meridian or International Date Line. We had lost three meals in the deal, but would also be paid for a day that we had not worked, so we surmised we had the best end of the deal after all. 0 LITTLE TWO BY TWO The next stop on our schedule was to be a brief one. It was Midway Island where we stopped for the fuel we needed to carry us on to our destination. Actually there was very little to see on this tiny island, but We did have some very intelligent conversations with the local Gooney Birds for which the island is noted. Also during the few hours we were there, we cordially accepted a challenge from the USS LAFFEY QMinnie-Ha-Hal to a soft ball game, and of course proceeded to stomp the daylights out of her.
