HOMEWARD BOUND. Off Enyu Channel sailors 

 on a San Francisco-bound Task Force ship take a 

 final look back at the scene of the two atomic bomb 

 tests. Many of the 42,000 members of the Task 

 Force left Bikini soon after Test Baker. Others re- 

 mained there to do necessary post-test "mopping 

 up". For the scientists and service personnel of 



the technical groups, however, possibly the most 

 important part of the Operation still lay ahead- — 

 the important work of consolidating results. Wise 

 was the scientist who once safd that he never knew 

 what the results of an experiment were until he had 

 written them down. By mid-October most of this 

 work had been accomplished.
