There wasn ' t much in the way of liberty for the crew but the scenery was beautiful and the shutter-bugs had a field day. The Greenwich Bay has it ' s name painted on the rocks of the harbor of Muscat, a tradition that ' s long been practiced for all ships visiting this quaint province. Some of the natives were entertained with a movie on the fantail. The old fort at the entrance to the harbor.

H Amir Turki ibn Ataishan of Ras Tanura was the host at an Arab feast for the ship ' s officers. The main dish consisted of four sheep although in some cases a young camel is used. The sheep are roasted whole. They are stuffed with rice (often mixed with almonds), whole chickens and hard boiled eggs, and are served embedded in a mound of steaming buttered rice on large copper trays. There are many side dishes of chicken, fruits, vegetables, pastries and sweets. In typical Arab fashion the guests seat themselves tailor-fashion around it in order of rank. s ci» Amir Saud bin Jilewi of Dammam is host at another of the Arab feasts. As can be seen, no knives, forks or spoons are used (though they may be supplied to westerners). The guests tear off chunks of meat and dip into the rice and other dishes with their right hand. To use the left hand for eating or drinking is con- sidered very bad form. Often the host (seated, with Arab headress) will not eat with his guests, but will spend his time seeing to it that each one is amply supplied. When each guest has had enough he will say a word of thanks to Allah and lean back or rise. Water, soap and towels are provided for washing of the hands. The first group of guests usually makes but a small impres- sion upon the bounteous supply of food, but they are followed in relays by persons of lesser rank, down to the servants, so that in the end nothing is left.
