PANAMA, C. Z. After spending a very hot, but interesting trip through the Panama Canal, we arrived in Balboa, just a few miles beyond the end of the Canal. Just as we moored alongside a fueling pier, a tropical storm broke loose, but rain never stops a sailor and we departed to see what the city had to offer. The results were very educational and relaxing as we found both Balboa and Panama City, a nearby town, very hospitable. The University of Panama, in its modernistic design, and the Panama Hotel were two sights well worth seeing. At night the city was very picturesque with its neon lights and cafes. The Latin American music was very refreshing. Many of the men went on a tour of Balboa which was founded by one of Balboa s Captains and later destroyed by Henry Morgan, the famed pirate. Upon departing from the tropical country, we entered the calm waters of the Pacific for the first time and pushed our way up along thecoastof Central America and Mexico towards San Diego. Downtown Panama City Next Lock, Please Miraflores, Dead Ahead ! Atlantic Goodbye, as we entered the first lock.

La Paz Mission, simple, but beautiful 83 I = M r P 1 sPS S F i £ i3 . Local Inhabitants U.S. Grant Hotel I0f» tif CALIFORNIA With weather as advertised by the California Chamber of Commerce in its fullest glory, the BENHAM steamed into San Diego. The ship berthed right at the foot of the main drag, Broadway, and for two days, many of us enjoyed our first visit to the West Coast. The lines at the telephone booths were long as we made our last calls to our loved ones at home. Entertainment was plentiful. Mission Beach, the local Coney Island, was enjoyed by those who visited it; the beaches were excellent; and the local zoo, Balboa Park, held an attraction for the camera fans. Dago is an old, sailor ' s town and a large oper- ating base for West Coast destroyers, therefore the city was well prepared to receive the crew in its final state- side fling. We took advantage of the many night clubs, including the beautiful Sky Room of the El Cortez Hotel overlooking the entire city and bay.
