Description
Summary:	Bush "finds himself" on a "tiny atoll" in the South Pacific where coconuts and Polynesians abound along with "brilliant hued fish" in "tropical weather" that Marines take "in stride" after serving in Iceland. He had a "strange reluctance" to visit San Diego when the opportunity arose, will feel better when he has "gotten in my licks." Victory mail was microfilmed for shipping, developed for delivery.
