Section Ill misses another liberty. UR SECOND DAY in the port city was blown in with a storm which seemed to rival in intensity the one that we had encountered in crossing the Atlantic. Waves surged over the sea wall to which the TARAWA was moored and forced our captain to call all hands to Special Sea Detail stations to stand by for immedite action should the ship break her moorings. Several of the lines did actually part and for the entire afternoon and the better part of the night no one knew whether or not the remaining cables would hold. The USS CABOT, moored astern, was not so fortunateg all of her lines parted and she had to stand off from the concrete sea wall and drop her anchor. The next morning, however, brought relative calm and by nine o'clock our tour parties were disembarking and away on sightseeing and other missions.
