IIIIIIIIIIG The British Crown Colony of Hong Kong proved to be a many-faceted port of call. Perhaps more than any other it epitomized the tourist's conception of the strange, exotic Orient. Teeming with refugees from Communist China, who have strewn Victoria and Kowloon with a disorderly litter of jerry-built shacks, the Colony has nevertheless maintained its dignity and its scenic splendor.

For the men of the LEXINGTON it was all new and excitingly different-the magnificent Peak, Repulse Bay, the fishing villages at Aberdeen, Tiger Balm Gardens, the New Territories, not to mention the city's fabled restaurants and shops. Needless to say there was many a heavy heart on board Cand many an unfinished suit ashoreb when, after but four and a half days, the ship was obliged to put to sea in the face of an oncoming typhoon. s i SIGHTSEEING proved to be popular pastime.
