A Coveted Spot

Nirvana! The atoll’s sole bathtub is a daily retreat for engineer David Johnson. Water is furnished by a jury-rigged line leading from a concrete catchment basin, at upper right, installed by a U.S. military unit during World War II. The legendary soaking spot was eagerly anticipated by transient cruising sailors short on fresh water and grown grungy during long, tiring passages. Johnson, a patent attorney with a sideline in electronics, set up a communications system for the atoll, a crucial service for pilots homing in on this tiny speck of terrain in the vast Pacific.
