Steel towers were erected on several Islands fringing the lagoon to 

 house automatic cameras and other instruments. Cameras are installed 

 inside lead-walled vaults whose doors are arranged to close auto- 

 matically after the filming has been accomplished, thus protecting the 

 film from gamma radiation. 



Native outrigger sail- 

 boats are of double- 

 ender type; they can beat 

 to windward without 

 coming about. Thanks to 

 their speed and stability, 

 they are used even for 

 hundred-mile trips across 

 open ocean, from atoll to 

 atoll. These boats, to- 

 gether with their native 

 owners, were evacuated 

 aboard LST 1 108 to Ron- 

 gerik, another of the 

 Marshall islands.
