The Fishing Fleet at Rest This, then, was Samar, sweat- ing out the mail as the VP zig-zagged its Way back from the beach, or again, someone'5 asking or answering the eternal question, What's the name of the movie tonight . Also, there were the continual rounds of scuttlebutt with the apologetic promises that next' time the sources would be identified and everything triple-checked before passing the dope on. Here was probably the last time we would Ever sit on a cold deck in the pouring rain to watch a ten-year-old movie? Remember the Arthur Dobbs and our cocky statement, They can't do that to us, - welre Navy ? Maybe it will be the short stay at Calicoan or the breakers roaring up to' the beach on the far side of the, island that comes to mind when Samar is mentioned again. Everyone will remember that first homesick peacetime Christmas we spent in Samar, with a song-fest in the' mess hall and a rough, wet VP ride to the mid-night services. When We got there, we were turned away in the rain because the church had been filled to overliow for hours. All in all, these things add up to Samar and Guiuan. We let you pick your anecdotes, or perhaps supply a few of your own, for by now Samar is a legend and 'fact and fancy have combined.

CROSSROADS OF THE WORLD - Singapore - After three mon-ths at Samar, our Brisbane cargo was transferred to UNRRA, and we were directed to deliver it to Piraeus, Greece. Thus began the second half of our journey -, after a brief intermission. Singapore has long been known as an intriguing city of mystery and is said to be the crossroads of the world. The trip from Samar had given us a week's time to speculate on these possibilities and the crew of the Marquette was eager to go ashore to investigate this city of dark secrets. From the harbor, Singapore looked most inviting with its tall, modern buildings. A pale smoke was hanging over the metropolis, shrouding its existence in a gray veil on that lazy Sunday afternoon. The harbor looked quite calm and peaceful, and there were countless ships dotting the anchorages with listless streams of smoke trailing from the stacks of most of them. An occasional Chinese junk, its reflection mirrored by the calm water, enhanced the oriental atmosphere. The British transports, lo-aded with troops engaged in the task of occupation, were the only sign of activity. Almost as soon as we anchored, the gig departed from the ship to obtain, among other things, information on that item of universal interest, liberty. It soon returned with the disappointing announcement, No liberty , because of the recent polio epidemic. We had traveled half way around the world hoping, many of us much longer than just a few weeks, to see Singapore, and now the visit was impossible. The next morning quite a drop in the crew's spirit was clearly evident. The Captain tried once more to get liberty for us and this time was successful. In the brief time that remained before sailing, we had to see Singapore. To most people, two hours would be considered an absurdly short period for a tour of a strange, foreign city. A sailor always finds a way and we made the most of the two hours granted us. Everybody in the well deck , chanted the coxswain over and over again as the Mar- quette boys, clad in traditional Navy white, scampered down the gangway into the waiting VP. The 0.0.D.'s voice was heard: Make the landing, discharge the liberty party, and return to the ship immediately. Away from the ship sped the VP' with its happy, impatient, and Pacific-tanned cargo, in thr-ough the harbor of Singapore. The closer the boat came to this strange city, the louder became the voices, the more exuberant became its occupants. Finally, after a few minutes which seemed like hours, we reached the landing. This was Singapore. What did it hold for us - what mystery lay beyond. On to the pier swarmed the sailors, like a white flag unfurling itself with a snap into the avenues beyond. Off we went, in different directions with different ideas, all groups met by mobs of native merchants with the fixed intentions of selling something to the American Navy. . Mista, japanese money - one d-ollah , Mista, precious stones - fifty dollahn, Mista, rickshaw ride, - M1s.ta . What a way to be greeted! But this was Singapore, and indica- tlve of thelf Way Of life and most Of all, Wh0 Could Say what would happen if we hit the right man among this throng? Most of us hired a rickshavv, and mgst of Us also thought we out-bargained the rickshaw-boys., Thr-ough the narrow streets and boulevards Way and that, Seeing things that in the future will often be remembered. The cobbled streets were thickly lined on either side by people of all classes, creeds, and colors, all in we went, up one and down another, this C297
