HONG KONG, B.C.C. On September 12, MAGOFFIN arrived in Hong Kong, B.C.C. Immediately following the offloading of de- pendents, liberty call was sounded, and from then until September 17, MAGOFFIN liberty boats cut a continuous wake to and from Fenwick St. Pier. Hong Kong is an interesting and intriguing city, offering something for eveiyone, including recreation, sightseeing, and shopping. We ran the gamut of places to go and things to do. We rode tlie tram to Victoria Peak, which provided an unmatched view of one of the busiest harbors of the world. We visited the fascinating and colorful Tiger Balm gardens, went on to beautiful Repulse Bay, and then to the floating restaurant palaces in Aberdeen. We toured Happy Valley and the shopping centers of downtown Hong Kong. At the China Fleet and at several other clubs in the area, we made an acquaintance with Tiger Beer, certainly one of the finest in the Far East. We took the Kowloon Ferry and browsed through thousands of shops and stores, purchasing Chinese silk, cameras, hi fi equip- ment, and of course, a good number of suits and clothing from the myriad of tailors in the area. In the midst of all this, Mary Soo repainted the sides and boot-topping. It was with empty pockets and drawn faces that we took departure from Hong Kong bound for Sasebo, loaded with dependents and purchases. SEE FELMS M . DAV S ismY So BAO

On the day prior to our arrival in Sasebo, our passengers composed a talent show to exhibit their apprecia- tion for our outstanding cooperation and gentlemanly behavior. A good deal of time was spent writing, arrang- ing and rehearsing the show. The cast gave two performances to full houses, and constantly had the audiences reeling in laughter. TALENT SHOW As an extra added attraction, the show featured Honey Bun, Walton, BMl, who amazed us with her hidden acting talent. The passengers ex- pressed warm thanks and told us how soriy they were to be leaving. On Sept. 23, we bid them goodbye and returned to our original role as an attack transport ship.
