t We fixed up'a fine supper for them of boiled fish and rice with tomatoes and lima beans mixed in. By this time they had gotten used to their sur roundings, had recovered their composure and their appetites. They really stowed away the chow. This was followed by ice cream and cookies, heavily sweetened grape ade and some bright colored hard cendy we had left over -from last Christmas.: The men were given cigarettes and all seemed contented ’ and happy. Finally, we showed them a movie and there was not the slightest reaction of any kind from any of them the whole time. It should be remembered that most of these natives had never been off the atoll and as far as is known had never seen a movie. The night was passed without incident and they seemed to rest well on their straw mats. The weather continued good and since we were proceeding downwind at a speed of only 11 knots there was practically no motion of the ship. Next moming they ate and seemed to enjoy a big breakfast of hot cakes, bacon, bread and jam. After considerable rubber necking es we entered Kwajalein harbor and during the process of mooring to the pier, the natives were disembarked at about 050900i to waiting buses in custody of ComavStaKwaj. As they went over the side one could not help but observe and admire the innate dignity of these simple human beings and their nmive but forthright and optimistic attitude towards life. These seemed to be expressed in a conversation with the native chief through the interpreter, \ The chief was asked what they had seen and he replied with gestures indicating a large explosion. He was then asked what they thought of it and his reply was not the negative one as might be expected that the world was coming to an end, but, "The world, we think she etart over again." qa: COPIED/DOE LANL RC ~ q ENCLOSURE (1) O\
