Besides the air condition- ing and refrigeration units of the ship, F Division also spent long days and nights patching up deck machinery, supply and exhaust lines, and cargo pumps. UAH Division also provided boat engineers for our small craft and maintained the ship's vehicles. -1 j' 4 l ffl A ' Q 'ffl' sm c.

I l HCJNG KONG Hong Kong, The Pearl of the Orient , exceeded everyone's expectations. The meeting place of oriental and western culture, our stay in Hong Kong proved to be informative, interesting and pleasurable. The tailors provided many MARIAS sailors with new wardrobes and offered custom fitted uniforms and civilian attire. Jewelry was another big item, and time which was not used shopping could be spent enjoying a Chinese cuisine at a floating resturant or a steak at one of the western style resturants. Sights were plentiful and the people friendly and our eight day stay was enough to make us desire more time in this British Crown Colony. G -. Q MAR. 29-APR. 4 V f X .C 4 .ff f, , 2.
