• Ponta Del Gada. No, Spence didn ' t catch these. Furna Una Caldeira Hot Springs. 12 MAY- 14 MAY On 12 May we headed for Freetown, resigned to a cruise around South Africa. Soon Shellbacks appeared from the Mess Decks and hidden beds to plot a dastardly fate for the Pollywogs. But as the best laid plans were changed, so were ours and at 0456 on May 14th we turned around; headed for a Confidential Port known to the crew only as Palma, Majorca.

22ND MAY-26TH MAY Palma, which lies off the coast of Spain on the island of Majorca, is a city of 140,000 people, the most prevalant being tourists and beautiful women. The city seemed to be split up into two definite sectors; one, consisting of colorful old Spain, and the other, of a miniature Miami Beach. The first few days the crew spent enjoying the quaint city with its beautiful cathedral, old cars and motorbikes, horse drawn carriages and above all, Spanish dancers. Many never mastered the art of navigating the one way sidewalks. Several went on a tour that visited the Monastery with the apartments of Frederick Chopin and George Sand, and finished with an exhibition of Spanish folk- dancing. Sailors could be seen swimming at the pool and dancing under the stars at the Victoria Hotel; and enjoying all the comforts of New York night clubs in Spain. The bars seemed to do a rushing business, possibly because most of the bartenders were of the opposite sex. Many friends were made in this international vacation land and everyone seemed a bit sorry that on May 26th we had to leave Palma.
