The food is good, Rabinowitz writes of his post on the United States Ship Spica, "and the quarters are comfortable, but the hours are rather irregular." They picked up "two civilian degaussing physicists for the Navy who turned out to be Francis Millian and Robert Gray." His ship plied the Alaskan waters supplying bases until the current Battle of Attu. He says, "There is no such thing as spring yet and summer will last only a short time." Lauren C.
