Returning to Sasebo....we walk the streets in the warmth of su mer....and readily find refuge in the coolness of ' the cabaret. As we cross a bridge on our way into the city, we never fail l 7 , to meet a certain indigenous clown, rather unusually dressed .... with an 'eat at Joe's' placard around his neck . .... he hands us a card which brings forth a free drink at some place along the road, somehow or other we never seem to get that far.... most of us head for the beach or poolg those more athletically inclined, climb the diving board, while some can do no more than lie in the sun. A last look at Pusan before we start our trip back home to Tokyo Bay .... then we tie up to our familiar pier....and when liberty begins, we are off in a thousand different directions .... we reminisce in the familiarity of a city we know so well .... and as we hear the strains of a certain song, we decide it's not such a long time from 'May to .... '

,,..we visit Shimazu castle villa, the Satsuma China factory, and watch the bamboo artisans at work. we drape the flight deck with bunting and hold open house to 1,000 school children and their teachers....refreshments are in order on the fantail. The ship's Chief Master at Arms organizes swimming parties....and we cross the bay to a beach at the foot of the volcano. we are amazed at the 'floating lava rocks'.... as we leave this port we feel a certain success in our visit ....and know that our shining white uniforms have undoubtedly b1'011ght many second looks.

....some of us take off for Nikko and Yaruizawa....and enjoy the early falliin the moigtains' our return seems natural after the many warm WGGICS LU the SCU '- 1 1 W 1 F Rumor has it that we are soon to be on our way to Hong Kong and Manila .... and the views are both pro and con....until that official 'word' is out .... and we knowg but before we depart .... a typhoon is in the area and we move out into the harbor to spend a night of watchful eyes as we ride out the winds. Underway....the days are rough....waves come over the forward well deck....many of us are feeling the effects of a certain mariners' malady. But the thought of what lies ahead, the mystery and the excitement of our destination....the Polling of the sea
