Walker, U.S. Navy, was graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in June, 1923, and has had a long and colorful naval career, especially with the submarine service. Captain Walker took over the helm as commanding officer of the U. S. S. General W. A. Mann on the 8th of May, 1950. On the 5rd of October, 1951, he was relieved by Captain Marvin C. Parr, U.S. Navy, and assiuned the duties as the Inspector General for the Twelfth Naval District. Our former skipper and his wife make their home in Coronado, Cali- fornia. It is understood that in the near future they will change their residence to the San Fran- cisco Bay Area where the Captain hopes to settle down after retirement. CAPTAIN MARVIN C. PARR. U.S. NAVY Captain Marvin C. Parr, U.S. Navy, is also an academy man, graduating in June, 1926. He com- pleted the Academy ' s postgraduate course in naval engineering in 1955 and since then has specialized in the engineering field, particularly on men-of-war. Prior to relieving Captain Charles H. Walker. U.S. Navy, on 3 October 1951, Captain Parr was the Inspector-Instructor Naval Reserve and Command- ing Officer, Naval Reserve FaciHties in Portland, Oregon. Our new captain and his wife reside in Fallon, Nevada. COMMANDER ROBERT C HUSTON, U.S. NAVY Our executive officer. Commander Robert C. Huston, U.S. Navy, who was commissioned in 1935, is an unusually well-schooled person, having re- ceived his B.A. from Yale Universit and his Master from Harvard University. In addition to the above he has also completed the Academy ' s postgraduate course of instruction for naval offi- cers. Commander Huston ' s entire naval career, prior to reporting to the U. S. S. General W. A. Mann on 25 August 1950. was tied up with the submarine service. He is a qualified sub skipper and has had several of his own boats. He possesses the Silver Star Medal which was awarded to him while serving on the U. S. S. Shad (SS-2i5) dur- ing the last war. Commander Huston, his wife and their two children make Portland, Maine, their home. TABLE OF CONTENTS I SAN FRANCISCO TO NEW ORLEANS II NEW ORLEANS TO BREMERHAVEN III BREMERHAVEN TO FRENCH INDOCHINA IV FRENCH INDOCHINA TO SAN FRANCISCO V PERSONALITIES paK o SHIP ' S HISTORY The v. S. S. General William A. Mann is a 623 foot, 20,000 ton gray beauty, belonging to the young two-year-old Military Sea Transportation Service family. She is classed as a dependent transport and has been doubling since the outbreak of the Korean situation as a troop carrier. The Mann and her five sisters, the U. S. S. General A. E. Anderson (T-APlll); V. S. S. General H. W. Butner IT-APll}); U. S. S. Gen- eral W. M. Mitchell (T-AP114): U. S. S. General G. M. Randall (T.AP115). and the U. S. S. General J. C. Breckenridge ( T-AP176 ) — all easy to recognize by their two towering black and gray stacks and graceful cruiser-type bow — are capable of transporting better than 3,000 passengers and crew half-way around the world at a cruising speed of approximately 20 knots, without refueling or rcprovisioning. The Mann was built by the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, Kearny, New Jersey, and was introduced to the world at an impressive launching ceremony on July 18, 1943. She was christened by Mrs. Robert P. Patterson, wife of the then .Acting Secretary of War, in honor of General William Abraham Mann, organizer and first commander of the famous 42nd Rainbow Division of the first ' orld War. On November 16, 1943, the U. S. S. General H ' . A. Mann was placed in full commission and joined Uncle Sam ' s mighty expanding fleet which was soon to be the World ' s largest and fightingest navy. Christmas Eve 1943 the Mann reported to the Chief of Naval Operations and the Commander in Chief of the U. S. Fleet for duty in the Naval Transportation Service (now MSTS). During the period from December 29, 1943, to Octo- ber 8, 1945, the Mann established an excellent reput.ntion for herself and steamed a n incredible total of more than 641,000,000 passenger miles. Unofficially it has often been stated that the Mann was the first U.S. transport to traverse the Suez Canal. This occurred on another round-the-world cruise in 1944 when the vessel carried a full load of combat troops from Norfolk, Virginia, to Bombay, India, returning to the United States by the way of Australia. During her World War II journeys the Mann never had to defend herself against an enemy plane or an enemy ship, although she traveled widely in dangerous waters where enemy activity was always anticipated. After the Japs cried Uncle the Mann became oni of the important cogs in the wheel of the famous magic carpet which returned thousands and thousands of GIs home for demobilization. Completing its assignment with the magic carpet the Mann was reassigned and drew the San Francisco, Pearl Harbor, and Guam run. During this run she carr ied so many infants that she was appropriately nicknamed the Diaper Run Mann. The day of 25 June, 1950, when the Russia-supported North Koreans struck across the 38th Parallel, found the Mann in the last stage of her regular Navy yard overhaul at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, California. Immediately upon completion of her yard work she was dispatched to the war-torn country of South Korea with combat loaded troops from Hawaii. It is said that our ship was the first U.S.S. transport to land United Nation troops in Korea to fight the Communists. How well we remember the warm reception we received from the courageous Korean people who lined the docks to welcome our big ship when she nosed into Pusan! Seoul, the South Korean capital, had been captured by the Reds and Pusan was being seriously threatened on our first visit to the large Korean seaport. It was then that the Mann had the distinct honor of being selected to receive the South Korean ' s financial assets (gold and silver) and valuable Government and historical documents for delivery to the U.S. Government for safekeeping. Since our initial visit to Korea in July, 1950, the Mann has made Korea a port of call on several occa- sions, visiting Pusan, Wonsan, and Inchon. The Mann was a member of the units which participated in the amphibious landings at Inchon and Wonsan. At Inchon the ship was required to man her battle stations during a couple of nuisance air raids which resulted with two or three 500-pound bombs being dropped on Kimpo Airfield which is located on the outskirts of Seoul. Although these raids were negligible, the fur- nished the crew with an immeasurable amount of confidence and experience which is required to make up a well-knitted fighting team. The recent round-the-world cruise commenced on June 16, 1951, and was completed on September 22, 1951, requiring a total of 99 days. Although the global trip was somewhat disappointing due to the fact that liberty could not be granted in the ports of call, especially in Oran, .Mgeria; Port Said, Egypt, and Colombo, Ceylon, it was a memorable experience which shall remain with us forever. ■. • ' - - !• I- , • PART 1 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. TO NEW ORLEANS. LOUISIANA Our skipper. Captain Charles H. Walker, U.S. Navy, and Executive Officer, Commander Robert C. Huston, U.S. Navy, were on the bridge. The pilot had the Conn and was maneuvering our trim seagoing home slowly out of the San Francisco Bay Harbor. The quartermaster of the watch neatly printed in the quartermaster ' s notebook for the day of June 16, 1951, 0809 Passed under the Golden Gate Bridge. The (J. S. S. General William A. Maun, a commissioned Mihtary Sea Transportation Service dependent and troop transport was once again underway. The regular run-of-the-mill voyage to the Orient in support of the year-old Korean skirmish which we had become quite accustomed to making was out this lime. Now we had orders to pro- ceed to the other side of the world — the European theatre, with short visits scheduled for Balboa, Canal Zone; New Orleans, Louisiana, and two and three visits scheduled for New York City and Bremerhaven, Germany, respectively. Late September, 1951, was our estimated date of return to San Francisco, our home port, but old man fate had dealt us a mixed hand as usual with our operation schedules, and our second visit to New York and third visit to Bremerhaven were scratched and the completion of the world cruise was substituted. To those with roots deeply planted in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area, it was going to be a long and figuratively speaking, lonesome trip. But since the majority of us had never viewed the other side of the world we all came to the conclusion that a little change of scenery would not be too bad. Jumping ahead of ourselves and recollecting our happy thoughts of the liberties in Bremerhaven, we must all nod our heads in unison and agree that the change of scenery wasn ' t bad . . . wasn ' t bad at all. We arrived in Balboa, Canal Zone, shortly after lunch on June 23, 1951. Liberty was the order of the day for two-thirds of the crew and the bargain counters, exhibitions, etc., which only the inimitable Panama City can offer, were patronized in a landslide manner. The next afternoon we were again underway for transit through the 51-mile-long canal. The passage through the three locks, Miraflores, Pedro Miguel and Gatun proved to be interesting and educational and the results of one of man ' s great engineering feats shall long be remembered. W ' ith excellent weather prevailing, the entire trip from the ditch to the picturesque port of New Orleans, with its ninety-odd miles of winding Mississippi River and inland waters, was most pleasant. New Orleans liberties were tremendously ?njoycd, especially the gay night life in the French Quarters. The Parisian-type entertainment offered by the reputable (?) establishments on Bourbon Street left a deep impression and many empty wallets — (dollar a beer) — with a large number of us. Departure from the Mardi Gras capital was with deep regret and with the excep ion of the unusual humid weather, the fine praises so often expressed about New Orleans will be confirmed b the members of the IK S.

The pretty girls, children and diaper set debarked, and in their place came the tough, smart and rigidly trained troops of the 2nd Armored Divi- sion. Selected to become a part of General Eisenhower ' s Atlantic Pact Army, the men of the 2nd Armored were infused with the gravity of their mission and the division ' s tradition as one of the great combat units of the Army. They filed aboard heavily laden with equipment and weapons, military from the tops of their close- cropped heads to the toes of their heavy boots. Quickly their working and guard details uere established, and the muddy waters of the Mississippi were barely out of sight when they began a shipboard training program which was to take up most of their waking hours. Classes in German, map reading, communications and weapons were constantly in session. A vigorous physical training program was ordered, and throughout the day large groups of soldiers could be seen going through arduous calisthenics. The splendid physical condition of the men was evident in the course of the boxing matches that were part of the 4th of July observances. The Army made a clean sweep of the inter- service bouts in spite of the game efforts of Navy participants. Condition alone was not the reason for their showing, however. The Army entries were regular members of the 2nd Armored ' s boxing team. Several were professional fighters. On July I2th we sighted the Scilly Isles off the southwest coast of Hngland. During the remainder of ilie day, and until after we left Dover on the following morning, our crew and troops saw much of the green, undulating English countryside. Massive castle-like forts were clearly visible at every seacoast town. Thick hedges surrounded old stone mansions that stood on verdant hills, and small villages clustered the floors of little shoroside canyons. To those of lis who had nt ' er bofn in the English Channel the smooth water and clear air was surprising. During this, and our remaining three trips through the Channel and the Nortli Sea, we were to find weather and visibihtv excellent. The morning of July 1 ?th found us passing Folkstone, an EngHsh beach resort where huge white build- ings lined the flat shore. Ahead lay the celebrated white cliffs of Dover. Throughout the shoal waters of this area mastheads protruded, reminders of the war. At Dover we hove to for the boarding of our North Sea pilot. His task was to guide us through the narrow swept channel that threads the mine-strewn North Sea. He told us that it will take seven years to clear the mines laid in the waters between England and the Continent during World War II. Our pilot was a happy little fellow, full of bad jokes and great humor. On the bridge he had to stretch to tip-toe to sight through the pelorus. An overnight run from Dover put us into the Wesser River of north Germany. Our approach to Bremer- haven up that waterway gave little indication of war ' s destruction. Green fields stretched back from the water ' s edge, well-kept, neat and fertile. Red brick farmhouses and large brick barns stood among clumps of trees. Big windmills thrust their arms into the sky. Hedgerows divided most of the fields, and neat little mounds of hay attested to the harvest. Two or three demolished gun emplacements formed small islands in the river as we neared the German city, and above the skyline skeletons of steeples were visible. Our approach to Cohimbus Quay, the berthing area of the Bremerhaven Port of Embarkation, impressed us with the neatness of the dockside area. Except where concrete piers breasted the water ' s edge the levee had been planted in grass, giving much of the waterfront the appearance of a park. Here we disembarked our troops who filed into the waiting railroad cars which were to take them to Manheim. After fourteen days of their company we agreed that the 2nd Armored ' s contingent aboard the Mann was the best troopload the ship had carried. Liberty in Bremerhaven was fascinating and fun. We left the ship and traveled over the narrow cobble- stone streets. Everywhere people rode bicycles. The men wore little black caps like those donned by sea- farers in all parts of the world. Most wore black coats and trousers. The absence of color was striking. We learned that most of the men ' s clothing was dyed army garb — that few had any other apparel after the war. Horse-drawn wagons piled high with hay vied with narrow trolleys, three-wheeled automobiles and a horde of bicycles for thoroughfare. Once within the city, war ' s ravages were inescapable. We traveled down what had been the main street of Bremerhaven until a night in 1944. Where multi-storied structures stood, there remains nothing but weed- grown lots. Segments of buildings, shattered and broken, mark the perimeter of the most heavily bombed blocks. Three brick walls are the ruins of a cathedral. Four walls and the skeletal steeple of another church stand in a devastated sector, and in the steeple is a clock that functions — just as it has without interruption since before the holocaust of 1944 when 1,000 British airplanes bombed the city. But except for this central section and a few scattered areas we found most of Bremerhaven to be a neat, clean city. Modern apartments line tree-shaded streets, and everywhere is evidence of industry and recovery. Once away from the gutted sector of the city it would be easy to forget that war had struck here — if it weren ' t for the sight of the boy jerking along on crutches, one leg severed just below the hip. • Evidently even the city dwellers love the land. In most congested areas small plots are set aside for the cultivation of vegetables. The little gardens look incongruous squeezed in between shops and dwellings. On the outskirts of town huge areas are tilled by the townspeople. Here the tracts are divided into hundreds of tiny plots, each with a little shack or loolshed. In the evenings a host of men and women work their little gardens. Those who took the bus and train to Bremen were treated to a view of the German countryside. Lush land. hea ily farmed, peat bogs and green pastures separate the two northern cities. Farm dwellings cluster in small groups of thatched-roof, concrete, and brick houses. Surrounding each group is the land, farmed in alternating strips of grain and vegetables, evidence of the German landowner ' s appreciation of crop rotation. Thick woods spot the countryside, a surprising sight to most Americans who wonder how forests survive in a land so intensely populated. Bremen suffered more heavily than Bremerhaven during the bombings of World War II, Vast areas of the city were wiped out. Much has been rebuilt, but everywhere ruins can be seen. On the 15th of July the Mann departed Bremerhaven for New York. This time we traveled empty. We arrived in New York (Brooklyn) the morning of the 2?rd and tied up at the Brooklyn Army Base, a stones throw from Ebbets Field. Ebbets Field was of no assistance to the Mann ' s baseb-ill fans though, as the Dodgers were playing the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The followers of the horsehide did have the opportunity to watch the World ' s Champion Bronx Bombers oppose the Cleveland Indians and the faltering Chicago White Sox though, and all for free with the exception of the small federal tax. Becoming acclimated to the massive uptown , downtown and crosstown subway systems, we soon settled down and found sights of many interests in the largest city in the world. We all picked up quite a geography lesson and some of the highlights of the visitations were as follows: (Listed in order of popu- larity) (1) ' iankee Stadium and the New York Yankees; (2) Radio City Music Hall and the Rockettes; (3) Empire State Building (all 1,472 feet of it); (4) and the Statue of Liberty. Wc also rapidly learned that the great city is divided up into five large boroughs, Manhattan, the largest; Brooklyn; Bronx; Queens, and Richmond. Each borough has a president with the Mayor of New York City as chief executive. One crew member visited all five boroughs in one evening — he erred a little in his inter- pretation of subway instructions. While at the Brooklyn Army Base wc were treated in an excellent manner by the members of the Mili- tary Sea Transportation Service, Atlantic, organization. The members of the deck department were especially appreciative of the services rendered by MSTSLANT because for the first time in the ship ' s history, with the exception of services received during overhaul periods, the ship ' s exterior was painted by a civilian crew rather than by the Mann ' s deck personnel and of course, that job elimination meant a few extra hours of liberty time for those people to indulge in the activities on the beach. Loaded down with replacements for the various Army and Air Force units stationed in Germany, and dependents, we said goodbye to New York City on the 28th of July and commenced the journey across the North Atlantic, Bremerhaven again being our ultimate destination with a brief stop at Dover, England, to once more pick up the English Pilot who would aid us in maneuvering through the Channel. m ' i 9 Central Park .,T  , Empire State Building; Coney Island Troop Commander, 2nd Armored and the Captain O 1 ' Tlk -V - .

' fk -A f PART III BREMERHAVEN TO FRENCH INDOCHINA In mid-Atlantic the radio dit-dahhed a message directing lis to proceed from Bremerhavcn to Oran. Algeria, to pick up French colonial troops. The message advised that the troops were chiefly Moslems to whom pork is taboo, and stressed the importance of rice and bread in their diet. .At Bremerhaven we loaded twelve tons of rice while parr ' ing questions of the curious on the beach. It later developed our estimates were long — that we could have fed our passengers nothing but bread, jam .ind meat and kept them happy. Leaving Bremerhaven for the second time on .Xugust 8th we retraced our course through the North Sea and the English Channel to a point opposite France ' s Cherbourg Peninsula. Here we turned to the soiuh- v ' est and passed close by the Channel Islands, Guernsey and Jersey, ' e skirted Brittany, crossed the Ba of Biscay, and paralleled the shoreline of Portugal. Portugal was only a dim outline in the haze. Those who looked intently saw the mountain that rises at the mouth of the Tagus River, marking the entrance to the waterway that forms the port of Lisbon. But Spain was another matter. .At 1045 on August 1 2th Cape Trafalgar was sighted, and as the ship headed east toward the Straits of Gibraltar we ran close inshore to the arid, brushy coast of southern Spain. The terrain looked like the coastline of southern and Baja California. The white buildings of Tarifa glared in the brilliant morning sunlight, their red tile roofs distinct against the background of the brown hills. Close ahead lay Gibraltar. Then suddenly off the starboard bow loomed the mountains of Spanish Morocco, huge and heavy and forbidding. Facing the Straits was a single sheer peak, rocky and jagged, its face slashed with deep clefts. And all the awe of Gibralt.ir was gone, banished by this single monstrous mountain that dwarfed the scarred fortress on the north side of the passage. Gibraltar looked like a small rocky island as we passed. The narrow spit linking it to Spain was barely visible. Leaving Gibraltar, and the more rugged southern Hanks of the Straits to the stern, we passed Ceuta, one of Spanish Morocco ' s principal cities. Like those of Tarifa, the buildings of Ceuta were almost uniformly white with red tile roofs. The central section of the city contained man - multi-storied structures, and a huge marine crane marked the dock area. Our introduction to the Mediterranean was pleasant. The skies were bright and clear and the weather mild. A spectacular sunset on the evening of August 1 2th tinted the ship green and spread a coppery sheen over the blue sea. Early the following morning we clipped past Oran and made for Mers-el-Kebir, a small battered town lying a few miles west of the big Algerian citv. Here splmdid concrete moles extend far out in the bay, providing excellent mooring facilities. And here wo were to siirfLMidcr tht ' peace and quiet that had been our good lortune ft r live days, and load the ho%vhng, youHng, most wonderfully confused mob the Maun ever carried. The troops looked Hke a horde of brown bugs as we approached the mole. Even at a distance we noted their different headwear. Some had white turbans, some brown, while others wore red fe es, and here antl there could be seen the semi-stovepipe caps of tlie Fr. ' nch officers. The troops were quickly embarked. The filed aboard, small thin swarthy men and boys clad in khaki shorts and wearing rope-soled sandals. A colorful Foreign Legion band, Algerian riHemen, and a French general participated in the farewell ceremonies. The Mtnni is a resilient ship. It has to be to accommodate itself to its customers. But the first few days out of Mers-el-Kcbir strained the most stoic eterans. Most of the troops had never seen running water or electric lights before coming aboard. To them, water was for washing or drinking, regardless of its vehicle. Indoor plumb-ng is luiheard of in the little coastal villages from which most of the soldiers were recruited, and a vigorous housebreaking campaign was necessary. Only about fifty per cent of the troops understood French, and each announcement over the ship ' s loudspeaker system had to be passed in three languages — English, French and Arabic. The effect was not unlike a marathon hog-calling. .Adding to the serenity was the .Arab ' s inclination to shout and wrangle with untiriiig vigor. The forming of their mess lines aft invariably looked like an incipient race-riot. Accompanied by the waving of clubs in the hands of the non-coms, shoving, shouting and pushing, eventually all made their way to the mess deck. Here it was necessary to instruct them in the use of the metal trays. By sign language we advised them that food will ride better when put in the concave compart:nents than when piled on the mounds formed by the bottom of the tray. But for all of their noise they were a cheerful, willing lot who worked hard at the tisks r iven them. The gathering of a working party was no problem. All we had to do was collar the nearest Arab and form some sort of a block. When enough of their countrymen w?re piled up behind this human dim all were turned to on the job at hand. The greatest difficulty was th? language barrier. Once the men knew what was desired, they pitched in gladlv. They were an emotional people. For an unknown teison one of their group jumped over the side near Port Said. Completely safe with a life-prest rver abo ' .it him, he paddled determinedly away from the ship. Aboard mass hysteria swept the troops. They wailed, ' ;mshed their teeth, beat their heads and wept. When our whaleboat crew plucked the escapee from the wate ; a wild ovation cheered the rescue. On another occasion a school of porpoise played n?ar the ship. The Arrbs laughed, clapped and shouted. They were like a lot of kids at the circus. Bv the time we reached Port Said there was organization v ithin the chaos. During most of the daylight and evening hours the loudspeakers continued to bl ire Alo! Alo! followed by announcements in nasal French and guttural Arabic: the wrangling, shoutin;; and h?iggling was a torrent of sound to which we had become accustomed; the Frenchmen still shook !iands with one another ten thousand times a day; and the appreciative character who came to attention and snapped off a salute each time he entered the cabin dining room continued to gladden the heart of our Sipply Officer with this dramatic tribute to American cooking. VC ' e transited the Suez, noting the green fields to the west and the sun-baked barren desert on the eastern bink. Camels foraged in the pastures, and people, donkeys, children and ducks moved about the little mud villrrgos. In the early morning of August 18th we entered Suez Bav, dropped our canal pdot and headed south toward the Red Sea. With each hour the heat became more intense. On both sides were rocky, steep mountains, the barren ranges of Egypt and Arabia. And then land finally faded from sight and we were in the Red Sea. The heat hung heavy and oppressive over the water, a visible, reddish-brown haze. For three days it was a punishing, brutal thing, leaving men sapped and wet and beaten. It broke a thermometer in the galle — a thermometer v ith a range of 120 degrees. The water injection went up to 92 degrees. Relief came on August 2Ist when we broke out of the Red Sea into the Gidf of Aden. There the seas increised and an epidemic of seasickness swept the Arabs. They suffered mightd . but not in silence. Prob- ably not in the history of tnal de wcr have so many bi ' en so splendidK smitten. Fallen warriors littered the decks and looked at us with agonized, bewildered eyes. Fortunately for the French cause in Indo-CJhina the seas subsided. The remainder of the trip across the Indian Ocean was placid. Placid that is, except for the usual racket and a brenk in the routine when the Arabs held boxing matches aft. The only threat they offered to one another during the course of the bouts was when they kissed at the end of the final rounds — trench mouth was rife among them. We made a binocular liberty at Colombo, Ceylon, on August 25th when the ship anchored outside of the breakwater there to await further routing instructions from the MSTS port office on the beach. The orders were quickly delivered to the ship and we were soon underway again, this time headed for Singapore where we were to pick up French liaison officers froni Saigon. Our course took us through the Malacca Straits. The high mountains of Sumatra and Mala a loomed close on either side. Nearing Singapore we saw many small houses built on stilts over the water. Jiniks plyed the passages between the small luxuriant islands that crowd the waters off the southern top of the Malay Peninsida. Unable to secure transportation, the French liaison officers radioded that thes could not keep their appointment with us in Singapore. So again we li.ul a whale s-e e view of an exotic city as we passed close (•ifshore. The ship turned northward and we crossed the lower reaches of the South China Sea. arriving at Ganh- Rai Bay, Cochin China on the morning of August ilst. Lying at the mouth of the Saigon River, Ganh-Rai Bay was used as an anchorage for Japanese shipping during the last war. Many of their vessels remain. Only the masts protrude above the water, monuments to the proficiency of American airmen. Shortly after we anchored, two barges were brought to our sideports. Senegalese soldiers occupied sand- bag barricades that formed a square midships on the decks of the craft. Armed with rifles and machine guns, their fearsome appearance was enhanced by wide scars that slashed their ebony foreheads and cheeks. On the stern of each barge was a small hut occupied by the bargeman and his family. The doll-like oriental children, gazing big-eyed at us from the shadows of their tiny homes, seemed fantastically out of place in the grim atmosphere. Presently it was decided that the barges were not to be used and tugs dragged them off, taking the fighters, the families, and the little garden that each carried in boxes behind their huts, upstream. French patrol crafl circled as we waited, their guns fully manned. In the guerilla warfare waged by the communist Viet Minh even a small fishing craft might contain Ho Chi Minh ' s fanatics, ready to trade their lives for the chance to lob a hand grenade at the enemy. Although the native sampans that came within our area quickly departed upon warning shots from the French gunboats, it was reported that sus- picious craft encountered on the run to Saigon were blasted from the water without further ceremony. A rusted freighter appeared from around the river ' s bend and came alongside. Short brows were laid between the two ships and the first contingent of the Arab troops left the Mtiiiii. Each carried a small paper bag containing a loaf of bread, candy and fruit — our parting contribution to men whose diet for the coming months would probably consist of bullets and rice. The debarkation was accomplished speedily. The freighter backed away and turned toward Saigon, its decks filled with cheering, waving Arabs. We weighed anchor and steamed out of Ganh-Rai Bay. As we turned north toward Haiphong the green mountains of Cochin China were obscured by rain squalls that buffeted the ship. For two days we ran north, skirting the coast of Indo-China. French aircraft and frigates provided an escort, although the latter had difficulty in maintaining our speed. We entered the Tonkin Gulf, passing between the mainland and the Chinese communist-held island of Hainan, and on August 2nd came to Henrietta Pass, outside of Haiphong. Henrietta Pass is a never-ne er land of towering rock islands that jut suddenly and inexplicably out of the sea. Winding our way among them it seemed a; though we had entered a new, shadowy, quiet world. Mostly devoid of growth at their bases where they plunge straight into the deep water or cut inward sharply to form watery grottos, the islands wear a cape of green that extends for a way down their perpendicular flanks. From a distance they look like a mass of moss-covered boulders congesting the quiet water of a shallow inlet. Their size is deceptive. Not until we saw French patrol craft dwarfed at the base of their cliffs did we comprehend the immensity of the formations. A quick glance at the charts showed them to range from three to seven hundred feet in height. A wide opening among the rocks provided our anchorage. On all sides they towered about us. Narrow channels separating them afforded views of the more distant formations, , ' .11 crowding in upon one another, dissecting the waters of the bay into a thousand little shaded, winding passagewa s. Ahead we could sec the wide expanse of Halong Bay. A broad plain of Tonkin slanted down to the water ' s edge. A galaxy of tiny brilliant shining squares marked a horde of sampans collected in the quiet water beyond the rock islands. A few ventured to the borders of the area patrolled by the French, then vanished into a sea-cave, or slipped from ' iew behind the buttress of an island. Three big landing craft plowed up to the ship, and the remainder of the Arabs and their French officers debarked. Like the first group at Saigon, they waved and cheered as the boats pulled away. After three weeks we were once again alone. It was going to seem strange not to hear the urgent Alol Alo! that heralded each of their announcements. We were going co miss the clamor that surrounded all of their activity, the hustling confusion, their constant bumming of cigarettes — even the man who played the flute on deck until the early morning hours. And we were to miss their willing industry and cheerful assistance, too. They worked hard and without grumbling when jobs were made clear to them. They kept themselves and their compartments clean. In all. they earned the reTutation on the Mann as having been a good group to carry. And evidently we were good in their eyes. As we steamed soiuhward out of Henrietta Pass a message was received from the Commander in Chief of the French Army in Indo-China. thanking us for the splendid treatment afforded his troops. Two F6F Hellcats, bearing the French tri-color, swept low over the ship in a farewell salute as we turned for Guam, Pearl, and home. % li p ?«?!!5B5 ' TB •X ' - k ' S ' ' Mers e Kabir  .- • .  K - ' ii««5 ' S . ■ 1 %■ K if ' I l.-i -,- ■ t t ' - , . ;f French Foreign Legion Band Side Boys Attend General ••wr v .- i ' i ' .-;gt ' 4(C. ; ' ' 4: Port Said, Egypt . «.. ■ v.

Si ' 5? •I li ▼ i ' w ' iii WL part four PART IV FRENCH INDO-CHINA TO SAN FRANCISCO Our course was charted to take us in a shallow southerly curve below Hainan Island where we would change direction to bear a little north as we proceeded east, aiming for the northern tip of Luzon. But a typhoon swept down into the South China Sea and our track took on the nature of an end run that carried us as far south as Manila before we flanked the storm. The seas were calm as we left the China Sea and passed through the Babuyan Channel. The green moun- tains and shadowed bays of Luzon stood out clearly to the starboard, only a few miles distant. Then we added the Philippine Sea to the list of the world ' s waters traversed during our voyage, and on the morning of September 8th, sighted the low rectangular mass on the horizon that was Guam. When advised that there had been a switch in schedule — Apra Harbor, Guam, replacing Yokohama, Japan — the ship ' s recreation committee hastily called a special meeting and set up the machinery for two beer parties to be held at Hoover Park on Saturday, our day of arrival, and the following day. Having been without liberty for over a month, the crew grabbed the opportunity to attend the recreation events and every- one, from our skipper on down the ladder of ranks and rates, had one helluva good time. There were swim- ming facilities for the surf lovers and plenty of quiet shaded spots for those who desired nothing but chilled refreshments. The Softball players were given the opportunity to display their talents ; nd four games were well played, two each day. The scores are all but forgotten by now but regardless who the victors were, the games were tremendously enjoyed by the pl.tyers and spectators. I ' ll addition to the beach parties, our popular Padre arranged a couple of sightseeing tours for those desiring to learn more about the island ' s beauty and historical background. It was here that many of us learned that Guam is i2 miles long and is a variable 4 to 8 miles in width. The population is approxi- mately 75,000 and one people of whom 30,000 are Guamanians. Their remainder consist of military, federal and contract personnel and their families plus the additional one for the Jap soldier or sailor who is still at large hiding out in the mountain somewhere, unaware of the fact that the Land of the Rising Sun threw in the towel over six years ago. Late Monday afternoon, September 10th, we loaded up with cabin passenges and troops, and said farewell to Guam, and set out in the direction of Hawaii. We arrived at Pearl Harbor on the morning of Monday, September 17th, and took on a few more cabin and troop passengers who were also homeward bound for San Francisco. With a short four-hour liberty under our belts we were underway again for the final time prior to completing the complete circle trip around the globe. At 1303, Saturday, September 22nd, ninety-nine days from the day we started out from San Francisco on June 16th, 1951, our world ' s cruise came to an end. The trip was completed without a single untoward incident and besides a once in the lifetime thrill to the Mann ' s crew, our country gained an unpurchasable amount of goodwill with our allies, especially the German and French people.
