Q rfvbfxtl WWC mfr if Greetings mates : Since I have made this cruise with you and at one time or another have visited each of your compartments and lockers, having survived the repeated sprayings which almost got me, but only dampened my spirits a little, I want to move along from page to page with you and serve as a reminder that we are insepa- rable, the Brass Canoe and I.

But our short stay here still will be long remembered. ' Once again we took to the sea, this time heading for KOBE for a few days of f b ' h e for about two weeks the BRYCE CANYON both work and pleasure. A ter eing er set sail for YOKOHAMA for two more days of R 8z R, and one last fling before setting the special sea detail and getting underway once more. This time we were HOMEWARD BOUND l . . R- M
