An Adventure In Hong Kong It was still monsoon season in China when FLINT anchored in the mouth of the Canton River near Hong Kong. Clouds shrouded majestic Victoria Peak, grazing the tops of skyscrapers, lending an air of mystery and the promise of adventure. Hong Kong is the hub of the Asian trade routes. Chinese merchants, famed for their trading skills, import and export a staggering selection of goods. Industry is everywhere, in tool-making, electronics or tailor shops, in busy banking houses, jewelry stores and hotels and don ' t forget waterborne traffic ranging from fishing junks to passenger ferrys to luxury hydrofoils. The streets of the city are crowded with people and cars, open-air markets and re- freshment stands are everywhere, haggling an expected part of the ritual. After 4 months training around the Orient, FLINT crewmen were ready for Hong Kong. A busy street in downtown Hong Kong. The entire city is built on hills that slope to the sea. A walla-walla (water taxi) makes for shore. This impressive city of shops and skyscrapers depends on water travel for its life. In the harbor, merchant ships anchor in herds to be unloaded by barges or overhauled by repair crews. Ferrys and hydrofoils are numerous as cars on a freeway. 54
