Well do we recall that stormy, wintry day in January '1952 when our ship, her llI19S'C2lCt off and her whistle bellowing a prolonged wail, backed clear of the. slip in Norfolk and headed Southward on the first leg of her combat assignment and world cruise. There were many amongst us for whom this was the first taste of salt water and the life of a sailor on the high seas. The days, following in seemingly endless succession, brought their full measure of training and experience so urgently needed. Finally came those days for which we had so earnestly preparedg those days, weeks and months of hard work, anxious moments and unbeatable determination in the Far East Combat Areas. The rest is now well knowng the line services performed in the task forces we screenedg the destruction wrought the enemy in our shore fire bombardmentsg the successful completion of as- signments in combined operations with the Forces of Allied Nations. Ulti- mately, came the time for departure and return to home waters with the many courtesy visits scheduled in foreign ports. We knew the need and displayed the ability to represent our country to best advantage wherever we went. We showed consideration for others: always giving the best that is America. We did our fair share to bring goodwill and, we hope, better understanding to the Community- of Nations. A fighting man's best reward is the success engendered by a common purpose and exacting teamwork. All in the LOWRY can take pride in a job Well done and share its reflection in the reputation of our ship and division. The memories of friends, deeds and experiences are ours. forever to take with us wherever we go. CHARLES B. CARROLL Commanding Officer.

THE LOWRY'S HISTORY First of the Navy's hard-hitting new 2,200-ton destroyers to slide down the ways of the Pacific Coast's Bethlehem Steel Co. of San Pedro,.Cal1f., the USS LOWRY'S keel was laid on August 1, 1943. She was christened and launched on February 6, 1944 by Miss Ann Lowry, a great-grand- daughter of Commodore Reigert B. Lowry for whom the ship was named. The LOWRY was commissioned five months later on July 23, 1944. Shortly after commissioning and upon completion of shake-down train- ing the LOWRY set sail for the Pacific war zone where she participated in the closing engagements of the war, notable the battle for Okinawa. During 1945 she was attached to Task Group 77.2 for the Luzon operation, to Task Group 58.4 for the Iwo Jima campaign, and Task Group 52.1 for the invasion of Okinawa. After having avoided damage after several close calls the ship had earned the nickname of Lucky Lowry . One of these close calls occurred when a total eclipse of a full moon took place over Okinawa while the LOWRY was under hot attack , thus giving her a chance to escape. However as luck isn't an absolute thing the LOWRY came due while serving on radar picket duty north of Okinawa. On May 4, 1945 a Kami- kaze crashed into mount 53 resulting in injury to 23 and death to 2 mem- bers of the crew. The LOWRY earned four battle stars on the Asiatic-Pacific Area Service Ribbong the Navy Occupation Service Medal, Pacificg the Navy Unit Commendation, and for her latest operations the Korean Service Medal with two stars and the United Nations Service Medal. On 30 June 1947 the LOWRY was placed out of commission in reserve, in the San Diego Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet. She was put back in com- mission on 27 December 1950 in San Diego, California, and assigned to Destroyer Squadron 26 of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. The Panama Canal was transited on 22 April 1951 and the LOWRY saw the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. After a short Atlantic cruise Destroyer Squadron 26 was ordered to report to the PZICIHC. Alternately working as a unit with two different Task Forces. The LOWRY covered more than 30,000 nautical miles in the time she was gone from her home port. The LOWRY had its most active month as a unit of a United Nations Task Force in May when 1,989 rounds of 5 inch 38 caliber projectiles were fired at enemy targets ranging from Red army, Combat Information Center Headquarters and gun emplacements to sampan concentrations along the Korean East Coast. Finishing off the Korean tour of duty on 22 June 1952, the USS LOWRY departed and completed her round-the-world cruise. -6- Singled up forward Taking 'in After- lines Ready to get underway CASTING OFF ALL LINES Norfolk, Virginia 22 January 1952 At 1212 on the afternoon of the 22nd day of January, the USS LOWRY cast off all lines with the destination-Korea. The weather was cloudy, misty and cold, and was in perfect harmony with the hearts of all the officers and men that were heading into the war area. It was with cold silence that we watched theifamiliar Convoy Escort Piers fade into the distance not knowing whether we would all return to see that sight or not. For the new Boots on board the next three days proved to be a trying ordeal. And not only for the newcomers to the sea, but the Old Salts as well. It seemed we were met by all the fury the Atlantic could muster, to keep us from starting on our long, long mission. With all the pitching, heaving and forty degree rolls, the crew as a whole was, shall we say, quite shook . It was then we developed the expression, He who is shook is lost. , But in spite of the distemper of the elements, the Lucky Lowry in the company of Destroyer Division 261 was headed for her first pause en- route, which was the Panama Canal. This was her first scheduled stop on the once-in-a-lifetime round-the-world cruise Cvia Koreal. For the many new men on board this was to be their first foreign port. So it was with anticipation of a joyful visit that we said buenos dias Panama . . -8- ' PR mil f 5 if 4 1 vi. . ff , ,Q BRI!

We also found that Panama in itself produces very little, and that nearly all the items stocked by the many shops are imported from all over the World. Here it is possible to find nearly any article from any country that you may desire. In the Canal Zone especially, you might say that they go all out for the tourist trade. Making our stop on the Balboa side of the Canal, we were able to visit both Balboa and Panama City. Balboa is the American sector and lies on the outskirts of Panama City. Among the many old landmarks that remain around the city, one of the most outstanding is the Church of the Golden Altar. The Altar itself reaches from the floor to the ceiling and is covered with solid gold leaf. In the more modern line we found the El Panama Hotel, one of the most modern buildings in the World. In that very torrid climate it is remarkably well air conditioned principally by architectural designg and for all who visited it, the temperature was found most inviting. -10- Looking Aff into Gaiun Lake Electric Mules in Gafun Locks Panama Canal SCENES ALONG THE CANAL -12- .

Coming up the coast of Mexico the Pacific started the wet heaves and so did the crew. Once again the Boots were re- ceiving their initiatory degrees of the briny deep. Stopping at San Diego for three days, we had our last American meals, last American movies, last American gedunks , and of course kissed our last American girls goodbye. And so at 0808, 9 February we anxiously hauled in our lines in anticipation of swaying palms, cool drinks, Waikiki Beach, and, last but not least, those unparalleled Hula Girls with the motivating grass skirts.

PARADISE ISLE On 15 February at 1326 the lines were over, shoes were shined, whites were pressed, and in a very short time there was a steady stream of drool- ing sailors hitting the beach for long remembered liberties in the land of orchids, leis, and tropical love. Having our utmost expectations filled and then some, we are proud to report that we really covered the Isle of Paradise in the most sailor- like fashion. We fought the surf boardsg sipped their cooling drinksg ate their delicious mealsg sniffed the flowers 3 and of course, watched the Hula Girls ---- Hula. After two-and-a-half days of fun and frolic we hauled in our lines and bid the lovely island Aloha Oui . And in leaving the sheltered harbor, with reverent eyes we payed tribute to all the brave men that had given their lives on that fatal 7th day' of December 1941. May we never forget the sacrifice they made for us at Pearl Harbor that day. As we remembered the honored dead in that harbor we turned the bow of our ship westward where once again freedom was being defended and lives were being given in payment. But with faith in God and our ship we set a course to take us into the midst of the conflict knowing that good must always conquer evil.

E Now, with a full load of go juice in our tanks we again set a Westerly course and headed for our next and most important port, Yokosuka, Japan. However, enroute to Yoko- suka, we had quite a jolt when we retired the night of Wednesday, February 20th and arose the next morning to find that it was Friday, February 22nd. We finally credited this to the fact that we had crossed the 180th Meridian or International Date Line. We had lost three meals in the deal, but would also be paid for a day that we had not worked, so we surmised we had the best end of the deal after all. 0 LITTLE TWO BY TWO The next stop on our schedule was to be a brief one. It was Midway Island where we stopped for the fuel we needed to carry us on to our destination. Actually there was very little to see on this tiny island, but We did have some very intelligent conversations with the local Gooney Birds for which the island is noted. Also during the few hours we were there, we cordially accepted a challenge from the USS LAFFEY QMinnie-Ha-Hal to a soft ball game, and of course proceeded to stomp the daylights out of her. 4' 1:71 Q xr., ff --ll, 'bf gl l,, f V O Y' f 6 Ifrf 1' If Il '4 'vmfax ff7,f' 4,4 fvlhlk I .0 'frmflk , I ' I 1 'N L Ol IW ,Q I I H 1 I V- 's's', XIX. low, J 8 I 5' 4UUkx'?

As we pulled into Tokyo Bay, for many of us it was seeing for the first time a country with customs and habits so very different from our own. After we had pulled our first liberty we found out just how different it really was. Yes, here we were in the land of the Rising Sun in the midst of a nation we now occupied, but whose people we found to be very cordial and graci- ous. We also found that the average sized or taller swabbie had to soon learn to duck in passing through their doorways, or he lost his head. The Japanese people are small and build their structures accordingly and we have the knots to prove it. ' Yokosuka just happened to be placed in a very convenient spot for the sailor who had strict orders not to leave Japan without a little something for the wife, mother-in-law, kid brother, papa-san, and his second cousin three times removed. If you couldn't find it in Yokosuka you could make a short train trip to Yokohama, and if in no luck there, you could travel a few miles farther to Tokyo, and if you had no luck there, you might as well give up because it wasn't to be found in Japan in the first place. Probably the only ones happier to see us than the local merchants were the bluepackets of DesDiv 122. They were the lucky boys we were to relieve. So, equipped with the knowledge that this wasn't altogether a pleasure trip as yet, we got down to business with the top brass and advised him that we were there to see what was to be done about this trouble in Korea. - After spending some time in the forward area we were met in.Sasebo by the usual mass of Rickshaw Boys, eager merchants, entertainment spots and so on. However, we did Hnd that the surroundings seemed to be sorne- what newer than those in Yokosuka. In all respects this city seemed to have been born at a later date. During our stay here we managed to squeeze in enough time to throw a ships party. This gala event Cwalk-in-pass-outl was held in the strictly Japanese hotel lchi-Fugi. There was plenty of beer for the indulgers, soft-drinks for the non-indulgers, and a choice of either a steak dinner or sukiaki, which despite the looks was found to be very delectable. The eve- ning was enlivened by the presence of a Japanese orchestra for dancing and the background to a floorshow. The party had to be held two different nights to give everyone a chance to be there. It seems that they have some sort of a rule that there must be at least one-half of the crew on board to keep the little bucket of bolts company. As a Whole both nights went off very smoothly and everyone had a good time and enjoyed themselves. V All in all, we had a good time in Japan no matter where we happened to be. There was always a very wide variety of things to do. -23- Shipycurds Sfreef Shops Yokosuko Xxx 1 ,V U Night Clubs in Sasebo Japanese Sailor - 27 Sasebo Street Scene IKCBTRZJH ilwzts C5rzat 6511115 ni 13535 ilnmrg fmjlgcqj I I' J fi ,s, ig -28- 'UEZIVMYY IN THE SEA or JAPAN So it was that at 0559 in the dark of the morning of the 3rd day of March, we parted company with the Tender we had been snuggling against and were underway for the front . As we steamed along the coast of Honshu Island we were awed by the beauty of spectacular Fuji-yama, and with our brave little hearts pounding in our throats we hoped we would have the opportunity to see it again. Our first job after joining the task force operating in the Sea of Japan was to take our position in the screen. This was blended in withlinter- mittent carrier plane-guarding assignments. We had been in company with the task force exactly 32 hours and 52 minutes when we were assigned our first shore-fire bombardment mission. Not that we minded, but these j okers could have at least let us get acclimated first. But, being good sailors and well heeled to rules and regulations we shoved-off to play havoc with the North Korean Railroad CRed Pacificl. We made runs u to the bombardment area on this tri the 7th 13th p p 9 - U Q and 25th, which totaled up to 4 days on the bomb line and 423 rounds of B 5 shells expended. Box Score-3 runs, many hits, and no errors. After working on the railroad we returned to the task force to find that We were in the honored presence of the Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Secretary was riding. the Valley Forge and I am sure that he was pleased with what he saw, because at this time the task force was running like a iiawless machine. Mr. Secretary had all the more reason to be satisfied when the LUCKY LOWRY made a speedy recovery of one naval pilot in the pitch black, wee hours, of the morning of the 30th day of March. At 0446 plane hit the soupg 0447 stationed plane-guard detail, 0448 plane- guard manned, 0449 Captain took the conng 0454 pilot was aboard safe and sound but chilled to the bone. The water temperature was 35 degrees that morning, and if you don't think that is cold, just ask the man that went in after the pilot. - . So, with our first policing action complete, at 0001 31 March we bid the task force Sayonara and set a course for Buckner Bay, Okinawa for a little ASW exercising. - 29 - THE YELLOW SEA After several days rest in Sasebo, Japan where we had a Tender period, we headed into the Yellow Sea for new and slightly different operations. It was in this neighborhood that we were to stay for our longest time out, about six weeks, without replenishing with fresh provisions. We found ourselves at this time operating with a mixture of British, Canadian and other American ships. During this time we maneuvered with a task group and also did some patroling inshore of some of the many islands in pro- tection against any movement the Commies might have in mind. It was while operating in this neck of the woods that on a certain Mon- day evening a great transformation took place on the LUCKY LOWRY . Yes, it was on this day that all and any boys that had started this cruise were forcefully transformed into men in approximately 15 minutes time. We might also add here that the ones that were men already gained a few years and probably a few gray hairs. There is nothing that can make these changes any quicker than being under actual fire. And that is just what happened when four shore batteries opened up on us simultaneously. Many things that happened during that experience can be looked back at now and laughed at, but you can rest assured that during that time the pulse-beat of every man jumped about forty beats. Actually the Commies ' probably thought that they stirred up a hornet's nest , because while their four batteries were throwing approxi- mately 50 rounds at us we were throwing 243 back at them. We won't boast too much, but we think that at least two of the four emplacements were' eating their own guns before it was all over. . And so after that ordeal we were all sure that they did have guns and did know how to shoot them. Lucky for us however, they evidently didn't know how to shoot them well enough and we emerged without a scratch of any kind. If, however, you count the nerves that were shattered, we were really scarred-up. Upon completion of our mission there we bid our enemies goodbye with a 40 MM gun salute and wearily turned our bow toward Yokosuka for a few days of badly needed rest and relaxation before one last short trip back into the Sea of Japan and our final appearance in the war zone. .Upon the return from our last short cruise into the Sea of Japan, we arrived in Yokosuka for a stay. Just long enough to turn over information and gear to our relieving division. We then said sayonara to Japan for the last time and started the last and most pleasurable part of our home- ward trek via the Mediterranean. , -30- Always on the Alert A Stormy Night oft Korean Coast 9 ..U1- Thanks to our Spotters Away VISlf and Search Party Inspecting a Sampan Quad 40's 1 Manned for Acjion -32- We Opercded with Many Ships 33 5 Nliiglll E? l l l i i v i i l l Lowry Approaching British Carrier To Transfer lniured Pilof High Line Rigged and Pilot Secured in LiHer . ,wh X I r -f W' , QV I f,1,V4 K ,, , 1 .v fi 'X i 'AT' r 1 . , I f. 43413 Y rf.

Some eight years and two days before she had visited the island of Okinawa under slightly different circumstances. As mentioned in the history of the Lowry, it was here that she received the name of LUCKY . I? Upon reporting in Okinawa, we immediately began Anti-Submarine Warfare exercises. It was on one of these exercises that we were playing hide and seek with the sub USS CAIMAN. We made a run on the under- water boys and proceeded to plant a practice hedge-hog right in the super- structure of the sub. When the sub surfaced, they found it and kindly re- turned it to us where-upon we slapped an inscription and placedyit in the mess hall to be seen by. By all parties concerned, it was considered to have been quite a feat. Since the liberty in Okinawa presented practically nothing to talk about, we shall continue on to our next and more interesting stop. 1 TA I ' fu rw, I U ' , , I R Wx i l .41-- Sm Jong of Nff' w9f' K I I im , K EJ jr- Lr . fs f f v- I l IT'S SMOOTH SAILING FROM HERE We left Yokosuka on the 22nd day of June just in time to hit the edge of a hurricane that did quite a bit of damage to Japan when it finally got there. All the fury this hurricane would muster was absolutely useless because the LUCKY LOWRY had her nose pointed home and nothing short of dis- aster was about to slow her down. Our first stop on our Good-Will Cruise back home was in Singapore, Malaya. This was around a thousand miles from Japan and took us 6 days, 23 hours, and 28 minutes Cexcluding time changesb to get there. In Singapore we found that it was naturally hot due to being close to the equator. We also found that true to the stories told about it, it is one of the largest import-export spots in the world. In fact it was so busy and full of ships that we had a hard time squeezing our little tin cans inside the harbor. You could stand on deck and see ships from just about every part of the world either loading, unloading, or both operations at the same time. It was definitely a port of fascination and intrigue. Among the more outstanding sights in Singapore were the Tiger Balm Gardens. These gardens were built by a very wealthy industrialist who had quite an imagination as well as a lot of money. It was very elaborately set with everything from dragons to images of human beings. In trying to bring out his conception of life before, now, and after, it was in all a creation of marvelous beauty. . Another main stop was the Temple of Buddha. The temple in itself was not exceptionally large and was guarded at the door by two very ferocious looking tiger statues. However, once inside, you found that the image which the temple protected was anything but small. Sitting on a platform about five feet high, the image of Buddha towers some fifty feet over the heads of the people that come to worship or just to see. The statute is a very fine piece of Work and weighs more than several tons. No matter from which side you looked at it, it was a lot of statue. While in Singapore the Captain presented the local yacht club with one of our life-rings with our name and number on it. Let's hope that they can keep it in the club roomto look at and never have to use it. Since We were still a long way from home and grudgingly Cchucklel had to be on our wa at 0622 1 July 1952 we heaved in our hook and set ' yy a course to Colombo, Ceylon. - 43 - Broadway in Singapore ,ali fills Sailors Leaving Shackle Club Sailor Chats L? with Native Captain Presenting The ring To Singapore Yachi Club, Fascinafeci by Snakecharmers i i E i i i l i i .

Zi- ,,- .1 -5 A HECK-OF-A TRADITION Shortly after leaving Singapore we began to notice a change in the crew. The Old Salts that had passed this way before at one time or another began to draw off to themselves and talking in low tones. We also noticed that nearly all of them began constructing strange looking contraptions which we later found out were to be used as upersuaders, initiators, paddles ciigovvhat have you . However, a little later on these items disappeared 6. ' . When the Pollywogs Cthose who had not crossed the equatorl got wind that we were going to cross the equator, they promptly declared the day prior to the crossing C2 July 19521 as Pollywog Day . Since the Shellbacks fthose who had been acrossj were out-numbered about 4 to 1 they took quite a beating on that day. There was much wrestling, raid- ing, tumbling and of course many fire hoses. One of the highlights of the day was a dispatch intercepted between the USS FOX and the USS LAFFEY. Said the FOX, the ,Pollywogs have taken over the ship . Re- torted the LAFFEY, embarassing isn't it . Needless to say, it was a weary, dripping, happy-go-lucky crew that turned into their bunks that night. Of course all the Pollywogs had pleasant dreams of the terribly tortuous events to take place the next day. Bright and early the morning of the 3rd day of July, all lowly, slimy, land-loving, liberty-going, Pollywogs were abruptly awakened from their slumber to save breakfast to all the highly honorable Shellbacks . The Pollywogs were considered too lowly to deserve any chow and so their paunches went empty. Along towards mid-morning the Royal High Court of the Ancient Order of the Deep boarded the ship and immediately all lowly, slimy, scurvy Pollywogs paid tribute by falling to their knees and kissing the deck. t After several trips around the deck of the ship with the deck treads scraping off the skin of both hands and knees, the Royal Court began session and passing out judgment to all intruders to the Royal Domain. In his turn each meek little Pollywog stepped to the head of the paddle line and presented the subpoena that he had been given a few days before and awaited his judgment. It was here that he found out the fruit- lessness of his efforts in throwing over-board the persuaders , because he was now faced with a long double line of angry looking She1lbacks , each one being armed with a length of fire-hose. It was between these two lines that he had to pass on hands and knees in order to reach the throne, kiss the Royal Baby and receive his judgment, which was guilty no matter how he pleaded. And so after he was operated on and the slime cut out he had one more vicious looking line of paddle swingers to pass. At the end of the line we found a slimy, soaked, exhausted, beaten glob of flesh that was too weak to walk, but never-the-less, glorifying in the fact that he was and ever will be of the Glorious Order of the Court of Neptunls Rex. -47..

We found that Colombo was famous for its elephants and the great extent in which they were used. Nearly any place you found any kind of work going on you found the huge lumbering, but oh so gentle, beasts going about the tasks lined out for them. Among the sights to see here were the world-famous Botanical Gardens where you could Hnd just about any species of plant life that you desired to see. Also one of the largest zoos in the world was there to behold. Every- thing from the smallest fish to the largest giraffe was there to be looked at and to pose for pictures. And of course there were several more Buddha Temples to visit. However all of our time in Colombo wasn't spent in sight-seeing. We also played a softball tournament. We dubbed it the Colombo Little World Series . Naturally the LUCKY LOWRYH, came out on top. After defeating the LAFFEY 14-1 and the FOX 11-O we went on to beat the Naval Attache Team 9-1. All this took place in two days. Of course the losing team was supposed to buy the beer. The Attache Team had two trophies for the occasion. The bigger one was to be engraved with the winner's name and score and the smaller was presented to the LOWRY for the championship. Departing Colombo in the early morning of the 7th of July, we set a course for Bahrlen, Arabia, some 2202 miles away.

Liberty was Very little here and consisted of a little shopping Cin which we think a few of our boys must have been on the wrong side of the counterl 3 practically no sight-seeing except for a few old ruins. The main issue was oil, oil and more oil. The barrels per day around here run into 6, 7, and 8 figures and so we didn't stop to count them. Thinking that it wouldbe a good diplomatic gesture to stay in the best with these people, the Captain and several other officers attended a banquet thrown by the Shiek of Bahrien. It is told that they couldn't quite tell just exactly what all the courses consisted of, but it was boiled goat's eyeballs and all sorts of goodies like that. After making friends and shaking hands with several million barrels of that old black gold , we took our leave the morning of July 14th and headed back out of the Persian CHadesj Gulf, around the bend of Saudi Arabia to Aden, fStill Arabial.

But, because Aden is a small place, it was ample time to see what was there to be seen. Among the highlights of Aden is the Old Aden where there are to be found two items dating back to biblical times. They are Solomon's Tunnel and the Queen of Sheba Well. The outstanding feature of these landmarks is the skillful masonry that has stayed almost perfect through so many ages. A After feeding our ship a belly full of the stuff that makes her go , we left the harbor and headed into the Red Sea and on up to the Gulf of Suez. -62- Fortified Wcxll Around Aden -63 Views of Queen of Sheba Well !'1' I II II I II.

THE SUEZ CANAL Arriving at the Southern entrance on the 22nd of July we dropped the anchor until 0900, at which time we were to start transit. At 0900 the USS LAFFEY led off with the LOWRY in second place, followed by the rest of DesDiv 261 and several merchant ships. Keep your eyes open boys, this is going to be worth seeing. Entering the canal we see on the left a beautiful stone monument built in the honor of the Australian soldiers who fought to protect the canal from the Turks way back when. Transit from this entrance is started be- tween 0700 and 0900, and between 1800 and 2000. It is started from the opposite end at 1200 and 2400. This makes the trafiic meet at a passing point approximately in the middle. Any vegetation to be found was on the East side due to irrigation from the Nile. The entire West side was nothing but sand, sand, and more sandg all of it looking as smooth as silk. Just before reaching the half way point at Lake Timsah, we passed another and more beautiful monument. This monument was raised in the honor of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers that had so gallantly de- fended the canal from the Turks in the First World War. The beauty of this monument came from the contrast in which it arose from the Hat lowly deserts reaching toward the sky. It's true beauty and magnificence can only be seen and not described. The wind, erosion is terrific and Egyptian natives are constantly kept busy moving the sand back from the canal by hand in small carts mounted on portable tracks. In the spots where nature oifered no help whatsoever, the sides are solid stone and concrete. Because of the immense length of the canal, it is dark as we are gliding up the passage and see lights dead ahead. This is Port Said. There was no liberty here because of the lack of time. Pulling out of Port Said the next morning we passed down a canal that passed right through this fabulous city. At the end of the channel is a statue of a frenchman named Ferdinand De Lessup. Beneath the statue is the lnscription HAPIRIRE TERRUM CENTIBUSH CTO open the world to peoplel. This 1S the man to whom we are indebted for the magnilicent engi- neering feat through which we just traveled. L 2.

This is the channel which connects the Sea of Marmara with the Black Sea. We were well aware of the history of this city and its people as we gazed at the spires and temple-domes that dotted the thickly-inhabited hillsides. Among these outstanding shrines is the Aya Sophia , the oldest religious building in the city. This building, representing the Turkish religion, was originally built as a memorial 'to the wife of Constantine. Through the years and wars this building was burned and rebuilt three times. The third time it was rebuilt is the building which still stands and was a Christian Church until the Turks took over and made it into a Mosque. It is now a museum given as a gesture of friendliness to Europe's Christianity by the Turkish leader Kemal Ataturk. Other spots of importance that were here to be seen were the Blue Mosque, given this name because of the blue porcelain decorations covering the building, the Hippodrome, an old sports arenag the Archeological mu- seum displaying examples of ancient handiworkg the Sarcophagus or tomb of Alexander the Great and the Sea Palace from where Justinian once tried to run away from his people. During our stay in Istanbul we had aboard some orphans for a tour of the ship, movies and of course, ice cream and cake. No matter what country you are in or what color the skin of the children, their faces all light up just like Christmas trees when you set them down in front of a big bowl of delicacies like that.

This is the place from where nearly all of the Greek Mythology stemmed. Moving around in this vicinity We find that we are surrounded by temples, monuments, tombs and many other items we read about in our high school history class. Hoping that the pictures will give you a better story on these highlights than we could in writing, we will proceed to tell you just how Athens came to be known as Athens. It all began when Athens was originally built on the plateau of the sacred rock of the Acropolis. This rock was supposed to have possessed human life prior to the 16th century, B. C. King Cecrops was its founder, hence, it received the name Cecropia , When the small states of Attica were united into a single state, Cecropia became its capitol and was re- named Athena or Athens, in honor of the goddess protectoress of the ci y. -74- f f ,,X My XX--,,f- f XW 7, XX-WA! , f YWLW, Xf W , f 5,142 , - Q5-wf ,QW , X , '- - yr' , X f ,,-wi ,X ' Sh. 1- ff . ff 0 ,W ,,, !

Also there were tours to the isle in that beautiful song, Capri. Of course along with all this beauty we must handle in a diplomatic way, all the this is a good deal Joe boys with most of them selling items imported from the U.S. in the first place. Of course if we wanted something really made in Napoli, we could climb to the top of the big hill behind the city and purchase some of their very famous cameos, truly pieces of beauty. ' For the 1-over of Italian foods this was of course the place to be. Ravioli, spaghetti, pizza pie, and wines of any type, vintage and color. And it was also a treat to be waited on by a beautiful dark haired Italian girl. Re- member boys the next port is France. And we're off. 4 .78.

There IS abso- lutely nothing along the life-line on the side facing shore but a solid white mass of romplng stomping howling goggle-eyed bluejackets Straining at the reins like a wild untamed stallion Well this is the R1v1era right 1n the m1dd1e of the tourist season so what are we waiting for-stop shoving I want to make that boat too-did you see that B1k1n1'?

One thing we can say, it is all rock and plenty solid. We sort of doubt if it will be moved for a few years yet. As wepull away we take a last look at our trek through these foreign waters and countries and wonder if our paths will ever lead us this way again. 0 Street Scenes onfhe llRoCkll nM, . ,,,,.
