1 .4 -' - ' , - 1 Gateway of India Bombay, India Bombay, withits great arched Gate- way of India standing like a colossus next to the harbor, beckoned us to the best liberty in the Middle East area. The crew sallied forth into the midst of the city and soon became accustomed to the met- ropolitan type of life it offered. Visits to Hindu temples, the beautiful Hanging Gardens and all the wondrous sights of Bombaywere enjoyed by all hands. Here we found ourselves in a shopper's para- dise and few were they who could resist the brass works, the hand-carved objects of ebony, teak and rosewood, and other works of Indian art. Here also the GREENWICH BAY staged a highly suc- cessful People To People Program en- tertaining countless guests on the for- ward boat deck. In return, we found the Indian Navy to be gracious hosts who feted us to buffet dinners, swimming parties and athletic events. The local press car- ried pictures and stories concerning the G, B, each of the seven days we were in port. , ln'-u..,.... -vi ' Street Scene. Mysterious India.
