It is net yet mown when they will sail from Rabaul,*

The shipe, Takuja Meru and Satsuma Maru arrived in Rabaul last weekend.
Their captains claimed that they had been contaminated by the fall out
from an atomic cloud which has been blown from the American testing grounds

at Eniwetok.
Rabaul authorities tested the ships on their arrival and found that the
radiation count on one shio was slightly higher than the background count for

Rabaul.
Medical authorities did not consider the radiation to be dangerous.
