“

In spite of everything that we had heard about Pusan we were still not quite prepared for it as it really was. Coming into the harbor everything looked grey. There were grey tugs belching black smoke, pushing out to herd us into place, with dingy white bow and stern waves trailing along on the oily surface of the water. Pusan itself was situated among and on barren grey hills with it ' s tired-looking buildings seeming to huddle together trying to keep warm under their ragged grey blanket of smog. There were relatively few streets, as we know them at home, and most of the city seemed cut up helter-skelter by narrow little alleys that twisted here and there. Many were unpaved. In dry weather these contributed a film of dust to everyone and everything that came that way, while of course in the rain, they became sheets of black, slippery mud. People crowded everywhere, on and off the sidewalks of the few streets that had them, and seemed little con- cerned about the really considerable volume of wheeled traffic always mov- ing through the city so that a tremendous din of automobile horns was added to the confusion. The major buildings of the city seemed solidly and permanently constructed, but all were dingy and old with many window,- patched with cardboard or left as staring, sightless sockets In every foot of space not already in use there were tiny shacks made of whatever material was at hand, and in the outlying areas, this was practically the only type of construction to be seen. Around the edges of the city were military establishments of one type or another — United States Army Hospitals, Ordnance Depots, ammunition dumps, Korean Army Posts, British Commonwealth Force compounds, and many others, each surrounded with barbed wire fences interrupted occasionally by a gate or sentry tower. All the crowding, the traffic, the bustle, the confusion, the noise, the dirt, the misery, helped bring home to us the fact that not only is Pusan the capital of battered and war-torn Korea, and the major supply port for United Nations Forces in the country, it is also the place of refuge of literally hundreds of thousands of Koreans from all over the peninsula made homeless by the war. -pus K «©
