April 1, 1945 - Arrived at Hollandia. The harbor seems empty now to what it did last time we were here. Went to Waterhole and took on water.

November 22 - December 16, 1944 - Got mail on board almost every day although I didn’t get mail everyday. Painted part of the radio shack with a mixture of red, black, and blue which makes an indescribable color although it does look ok. Went to water hole and took on water, got to see a movie while there. Tied up to a tanker and took on fuel. I got to see about 5 movies while in the bay this time. Bills got transferred to the hospital because of ulcers. We went back to the water hole before we left.
