The bluejacket eyed him with the
age-old contempt Of the saltwater

but this was my first flight across
the Pacific. You 60 nonstop from
California to Hawaii. It's about the
same distance as crossing the con-
%tinent. yet it was as easy as flying
from Albuquerque to Los Angeles.
We left shortly after suppertime,
and were over Honolulu a little after
daylight next morning. There was
simply nothing unusual at all to re-
port about it.
Shortly after we took off I got
some blankets and lay down on the
floor in the rear Of the plane.
When I woke up it was just getting
daylight, and we had only an hour
to go. That's the way I like to fly

Served by Natives
In Tropicul Setting

All of us had left California in our
wooden winter uniforms. But when
we stepped out of the plane in
Honolulu. those heavy clothes al
most made us sick. By the time
we got through the formalities and
left the field, we we're all dripping
and swabbing ourselves.
In Honolulu I stayed in the home
of a naval friend. The first thing we
did was take a shower bath. change
to light khaki clothes. and eat a
plateful of beautiful yellow papaya.
A naval h%ouseboy named Flores,
a native of Guam. took care of
us. He washed our clothes and
made our beds and fixed US fruit
juice and papaya all day long.
A squat Hawaiian woman, in blue
Stacks and with a red bandana

The u shone brightly and white
clouds ran an embroidery over the
ridges of the far green hills. Palm
trees rustled like rain. and the deep
whistles of departing ships came
from the harbor below is. This,

The trip v had not exhausted
me. but the change Of climate did,
and for a day l did nothing but
loaf-and o from America
and bask in being warm.
There is no rationing Of anything
in Honolulu. and no blackout any
longer either. Rationing doesn't
exist because practically everything
here is considered military. and also
because shipping space from the
mainland is an automatic rationer.
The great number of uniforms on
the streets and the 10 o'clock cur
few are the most vivid reminders
Of the war in Honolulu. That and

that has occurred since Pearl Har-
