The British influence is seen everywhere to have made its impression on oriental custom. l-long Kong is al gfe-at sea port, busy with some of the largest volume of trade in the world. It is a bustling metropolis surrounded by a unique and fascinating landscape. But most of all, it iS 21 paradise to the wayward shopper. - Among its famous landmarks, including Victoria Peak, Repulse Bay, Aberdeen, and Tiger Balm Gardens, there could be found interesting sights distinctive throughout the world. The streets of Hong Kong were alive with a blur of activity which seemed alto- gether different than our own. Each shop we visited was a new and exciting experience- During our visit as station ship, we were able to absorb more of this famous city EHHU most people are ever fortunate enough to do.

PATROL H. its The men of the Shore Patrol had one of the toughest assignments of any such patrol in the Navy.

Mary Soo and her workers are the best friends a ship and a boatswain's mate ever had. From stem to stern, her crew gave Marshall a bl-and new complexion. DeeDee always had a great big smile. . . except when she was having her picture taken.
