A momento ot Battaan A trip through the Philippine countryside, dotted with villages ot bamboo huts on stilts, was a rare experience. The necessities ot lite are rather simple in such a primitive existence -a rain-proof root, honest neighbors, a sturdy carabao, Cwater buffalo, -and a shirt is sometimes more important than a pair ot pants. Everywhere along the roads swarms ot eager brown kids-some of whom weren't even born when the Korean War started, let alone World War ll-waved their fingers in the V tor victory and shouted Hi Joe! as we went by. Part ot the road across the rice paddles ot Battaan followed the route of the infamous Death March ot l942.

l-long Kong-the very name rings ot Oriental custom and international intrigue. Under cloudy March skies, Bremerton eased into the crowded harbor ot the British Crown Colony tor a one-week visit. With iunks, sampans, water taxis and terry-boats, plus merchant ships and liners from all over the World, criss-crossing the waters around us, we got into the swing ot things by renting a whole terry boat to haul us ashore and our purchases back to the ship. Gur savings vanished in tailored suits, shoes, and other clothes, furniture, iewelry, cameras, and other goods, as we took advantage ot the bargains oftered in this shopper's paradise. Somehow we managed to squeeze everything aboard -though Bremerton's draft may have increased a toot or so by the time we lett. We even met the HMCS Ontario-home port, Esquimalt, Canada- in l-long Kong, and she sent us the following greeting: Good-by and pleasant sailing. Victoria remembers your visit last year and would like to see you again.
