Anchored off Naval Air Station at Pensacola at 1:30 p.m. The Presi- 
dent leit the ship at five o * clock. The matter of getting some 500 pounds of

noon. 
August 10. 
Left Pensacola at 1:30 p.m. Re-dry-iced fish at midnight in 
Atlanta and, because the job took some time to do right, almost got trapped 
in the baggage car, from which there would have been no escape for several 
hours.
