network is that done silently and
without public acclaim by the of

advanced harbors.
Huge fleet anchorages have been
secured by the net service in com

going on on the islands concerned.
The work is hard. The hours are
long. The weather is a rugged task
master. Tropical typhoons and Aleu

net people whose hard toil must go
on in order to make harbors safe
for the vast Fleet of the Pacific
