Leaders of the expedition were as
sured by the few human beings who
already had been to Wake Island that
they must blast out the coral reefs
before they would be able to enter
the lagoon. Also that, because of the
steep sides of the little island, the
North Haven would be unable to
anchor offshore but must cruise back
and forth the entire fortnight or
longer while the cargo was unloaded
and construction started.
In addition to the 13 white artisans.
13 American Chinese have been added
to the expedition, these to act as per-
manent cooks, laundrymen and gar
deners on the islands. Each had to
pass test of his particular trade, get
q certificate of moral character and
Americanism from proper authorities
and go through physical and medical
examinations. Only one-fourth of
those examined were able to pass the
rigid tests.
