Topside, Smith, Aversa, Clark and Petersen take time out during a general quarters drill Passing the ammunition during an anti- aircraft shoot are Britt, Harris and Van Ess. The division lays a smoke screen in prep- aration for possible amphibious landings. Old stamping grounds were again revisited as the ship headed south towards the Panama Canal. Cape Hatteras gave her usual rough greeting, much to the discomfort of the crew, especially the new hands who came aboard prior to departure from Norfolk. Training took most of our time and the barking of the loud speaker became a familiar part of the daily routine. This is a drill. All hands man your battle stations. Soon the drills went off smoothly and the new recruits snapped into their spots on the team. Within a few seconds after the alarm was sounded, the Pierce ' s guns were manned, bristling for action; or a damage control party was at the scene of a simulated fire. The men of the Pierce were ready for action.

Above, looking back towards the Atlantic as the ship starts its trip through the Panama Canal. Right, one of the motorized donkeys which helped us through, and below, Sten- chiver shopping in a local market- place. ■ On the fifth day at sea, we sighted the Isthmus of Panama and made our way through the locks to the Pacific side. There was a quick day ' s liberty. Shop- ping for French perfumes and alligator handbags and tours of the Old city of Panama, filled the day. We noted the campaign posters and banners, the statue of Simon Bolivar, the luxury of the modern Hotel Panama, and the beauty of the Church of Santa Maria with its solid gold altar. We also found out what is meant by heavy tropical rains.
