Departure Evier ' morning the sun, as if keeping pace in his revolutions with the progress of the pil- grimage, emerged with a silent burst of light exactly at the same distance astern of the ship, caught up with her at noon, pouring the concentrated fire of his rays on the pious purposes of the men, glided past on his descent, and sank mysteriously into the sea even- ing after e ' ening. preser ing the same distance ahead of her advancing bows. Such were the da -s. still, hot. heav ' , disappearing one by one into the past as if falling into an abyss forever open in the wake of the ship; and the ship, lonely under a wisp of smoke, held on her steadfast way black and smouldering in a luminous immensity, as if scorched by a flame flicked at her from a hea -en without pity. The nights descended on her like a benediction. Joseph Conrad Lord Jim, 1899 Combat Systems Department ' [ he I. (J. l(K)k is fashioned by: Krom left to rij lit: F ' rM2 Callicott.

Those who had been here many times before were telling sea stories of the wild times past of Subic as others were pre- panng to embark on adventures of their own. Tisdale crew members experienced such pas- times as dmng in coral reefs, the night life of Olongapo City, racing go-carts Le-Mans style, and playing golf through the base ' s jungle course. Wises of some of the crew members joined their husbands to disco -er the Philippine culture and life style Some took the 3-4 hour bus ride to Man- ila, which is an expenence in itself with its narrow bumpy roads shared by the big bus and water buf- falo alike.
