6TH JUNE-9TH JUNE Although the heat seemed unbearable before, we soon found that it had not been too bad up until now — the now being the port of Aden in Aden Protectorate. We were on tropical hours, and sleeping topside at night was the rule. June 6th saw the Leaky Lewie anchored out, a short distance from the British and French destroyers also anchored there. After refueling, liberty com- menced for the usual third of the crew or those few who cared to go ashore, for liberty meant wearing a full uniform. Those who made the effort found bargains galore in this Mid-East free port. The shrewdest buyers returned with wonderful purchases in cameras, binoculars and other usually high-priced items. At the local oasis, the Rock Hotel, many beach-goers spent long hours in an attempt to quench their thirst. Afternoon swimming at the R.A.F. Beach was popular, and in the evening the shops opened up again until about 10 o ' clock. Shopping was the only night- life to be found. On 9 June, we swallowed another salt tablet and welcomed putting to sea again.

Port Suez Entrance. Now rig awnings. -.- iei 4B Signal Station, Port Suez. 31ST MAY - 1ST JUNE 9TH JULY- 10TH JULY The aftermath of the recent war was still quite evident as we arrived at Port Said, Egypt. There were several partially sunken ships, but from the number of bum boats around the ship, busi- ness seemed as usual. Many will remember the Condition Three Watches and the pungent odor com- ing from the city. As we passed through the Canal, the Egyptian Hospital with its several nurses were a pleasant relief from the rising temperature and ever present sand, but we were soon shaken back to reality by the sight of armored cars, Russian MIGS, and Egyptian soldiers constantly train- ing. At dusk we came into Port Suez and tied up alongside the USS MURRAY DD 576. Soon we had relieved the Murray and were officially a part of the U.S. Middle East Force. In the torrid days and weeks to follow, East of Suez, we came into emphatic agreement with Kipling that indeed, here the best is like the worst. Greeting our relief. Nasser slept here. J CARAVAN jj
