When the pails are full they trudge back to the boat, push off without a word and row across the heaving water to an island several miles from shore, a cold rock whelmed in the cold waters of Japan's Inland Sea.

But what haunted the islands like a ghost was nothing ancient; it was the hiding out there...
...technicians, according to the intelligence reports, one-half to two-thirds were military technical men sent to install and operate the electronic systems until Castro's men learn to handle the equipment.
