In- spected that mor-ning by Admiral Wright, Rear Admiral Hartman, and Rear Admiral Varian, and sent off musically to the martial strains of a Navy band, we could not help but swell with pride as we passed in review by the flagship Yosemite and sliced through misty Narragansett Bay to 'start on the cruise that was to cover nearly 50,000 miles. It was a typical Newport day - that August 2nd - wet and bleak, and it was depressing to some who thought of their fami- lies and loved ones whom they would not see for eight long months, but it could not dampen the spirits of many of us who felt we were embark- ing on a journey that was the greatest we had ever experienced - an Around the World cruise. mess deck on his inspection tour. Commander J. S. Weiler, our former Executive Officer who helped us prepare for the cruise, casts off our last line. PA AMA ' Theodore Roosevelt must have been a Hep Cat , for ever since he gave the word to Dig that Panama Canal , engineers all over the world have been amazed by the tremendous en- gineering feat accomplished through American ingenuity and skill some four decades ago. France had been unsuccessful in her attempt to construct the Big Ditch , American engineers had to conquer not only the terrain and cli- mate, but also disease in order to complete what is popularly regarded one of the modern wonders of the world. The Cana1's six locks enable ships to pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean in approximately 8 hours. Com- pare this with the long and dangerous journey around South America and Cape Hornl Our pass- age' on 8 August was the first trip through for the Brownson. A day was spent in Colon on the Atlantic side prior to the transit and two days of rest in Panama City on the Pacific side followed the passage. H On 10 August we left Panama and set our course for San Diego, California. As interesting as it was remarkable, the Canal provided an impressive keynote for the many new sights and adventures which the Brownson was to en- counter in the ensuing months.

Arriving in California on,17 August, we were enthralled by the sunny beaches, broad avenues lined with statuesque palms, and the balmy clim ate. Our international travelers found it only a short jaunt south to Tijuana, Mexico with its bright lights and revelry. But we had to go on - and not without regret, for we knew that it would be a long time before wezd see America again. On 20 August we sailed for Ha- waii.

Pearl Harbor, evoking mem- ories of December 7, 1941, also brought us to the famous beaches, pineapple fields, majestic mountains, and the colorful culture of this Paci- fic paradise. A short ride into Honolulu on the King Kamehameha highway offered surfing on the beach at Waikiki, relaxation at hotels such as the Royal Hawaiian, and of course the wonderful music of the islands. In this land ofmany races, intermarriage has produced a charming people whose hospitality and entertainment, such as the Hula, are justly renowned. We sailed on August 30 to the accompaniment of the Naval Base band's rendition of Aloha Oe, having really glimpsed the meaning of the spell that is cast when Hawaii calls .

The major part of our time away was spent in Japan. Our former enemies' are as interesting and different in their culture as any other foreign nation visited on the cruise. Japan is a land of contrasts - a pe- culiar combination of ancient ways andre- cent .Westernization. For instance, old methods of manufacturing are combined with modern American style salesmanship. The results, measured in terms of cameras, china, stemware, pearls, and toys purchased by our crew alone proved that the combina- tion has its merits. This mixture of the old and new is even more appealing in the Japanese people them- selves. uBaby-san , the typical Japanese girl known to most Americans, has all the style of her Stateside sisters plus awilling- i ness to serve and entertain that is charact- eristic of Oriental women. Despite crowded conditions, inadequate land, and a lower standard of living, the individual Japanese seems happy. He earned our respect, not only for his mild manners, extreme polite- ness and cleanliness, but also for his basic honesty which makes Japan a country where there is virtually no stealing. From our ports of Yokosuka, Sasebo, and Kure, the larger cities of Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were easily accessible. We visited them, and we also visited many of the festivals, shrines, and scenic areas such as Fujiyama. We said Sayonara to the land of the Rising Sunin J anuary but it will be a long time before many of us forget the charm of J apan.

Situated on an island off the Chinese mainland, its teeming partly Communist population is held in check by the strict rule of the British who live on Victoria Peak, but the atmosphere still seemed charged with tension due to the proximity of Red China. Many of us, like Lyons and Carnevale fabovej, in- vested heavily in clothes in this city famous for bargains. Having sampled real Chinese food and admired the slit skirts,, we left knowing we had visited one of the world's truly fascinating cities.

Most agreed that the night life in Colombo, usually consisting of a few beers in the lobby of The Grand Oriental Hotel across from the landing, wasn't very exciting, but it did provide us with a little relaxation and the opportunity to make some new friends for Uncle Sam when we distrib- uted toys and showed movies at a party held aboard ship for 29 orphans. Those who spent their daytime liberty hours within Colombo found that shop- ping for carved ebony elephant bookends and semi-precious stones such as Cey- lon's famous star sapphires proved more fruitful than sightseeing. Those who ven- tured to Mount Lavinia Beach and Kandy were amply rewarded for their efforts. In Kandy, the last capital of the Sing- halese Kings, 72 miles inland from Colombo, were many points of interest including Queen's Hotel, The Temple of the Tooth, and the Lake Drive.
