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. The gates of the Miraflores Locks open Covefel' Of the New W0I'1d- and we enter the waters of the blue Pacific. Above: Monument to Columbus, 'immortal dis I Below: Panama City's El Panama Hotel.

San Diego, our last stateside port, provided welcome liberty after an uneventful seven days at sea. 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. Downtown San Diego - one of the I picturesque squares in the center of the city. Leeman, Davis, Berube and Hall soakin' up the sun, sand and surf at La Jolla Beach near San Diego. 17f35.9 .z5
