LUTIDQUIST On the sea there is a tradition older than the tradition of the country itself. . . It is the tradition that with responsi- bility goes authority and with them goes accountability. The Captain of a ship, like the Captain of a state, is given honor and privilege and trust beyond other men. EXECUTIVE OFFICER CDR. M. O.

We used it to try out Spanish, yet dates, and have a little fun. We were very popu- lar. In Chile and Africii, the lociil authori- ties had to help with crowd control on tlie pier. The Chileans were our bigyest group of visitors, moving through in what seemed an endless stream, witli ques- tions and, surprisingly, requests for autographs. There were official visitors as well, for whom we rolled out the naval version of tlie red carpet — honor guard and side boys.
