ILLEMSTADT, CURACA What do you say we paint the town - Martin This 11sn't our ship? Where am 1? - Sullivan With Texas aboard, we headed across the Culf of Mexico and arrived at sunny Cartagena. Enter- ing the port, we were met by a Heet of local children who amused us by diving for the coins we threw at them and into the spinning pro- peller blades. Hey look, that kid just got his head out from between the blades just in time! As we stormed ashore, we were met by the descendants of those who met the notorious Henry Mor- gan when he entered their port, some 300 years previous to our arrival. Tours were arranged to the famous Fort of San Felipe and after coursing through the vast maze of dark recesses and steep inclines under the fort, we went to see the rest of this ancient city. The next day we basked in the sun and bathed in the luxurious pool of the modern Hotel Del Caribef, The evening before our departure all hands attended a swinging South American dance as guests of the Columbian Naval Academy, where buttons were traded, hat bands exchanged, and other swaps made. Back to sea again and our next scheduled stop was Curacao, and as sad as we were at leaving this unforgettable port of Cartagena, we all looked forward to our next port with much anxiety.

SECCND OPHO CRE CRUISE A steady cloud of black smoke was the iinal wave from the T.V. State of Maine as she left Castine on her first of the two cruises indoctrinated into this yearis curriculum. With the sen- iors at sea accompanied by half of each of the two lower classes, we, being juniors now, commenced on a new semester which, by the way, was the Hrst time in recent years that classes had been conducted during the months of January, February and March. Those two cold, snow-filled months Went by swiftly and it seemed like in no time at all the ship was returning with a shipload of tired, sun-burned Middies, regretful of the fact that their Caribbean tans would soon fade under their winter uniforms and union-suits. As the ship neared its berth on the wateris edge of the thriving metrop- olis of historic Castine, parents and friends waved a hearty welcome home to these salty Midshipmen. Coffee and doughnuts were served by the Castine Civic Club for all visitors in keeping with tradition. The refresh- ments were soon devoured willingly by the shipboard personnel. Much confusion and anxiety was displayed on the gangway and after many patient hours of waiting at the foot of the gangway, the second cruise party boarded and attempted to get squared away. It seemed like no time at all before we were sailing down the Bagaduce in search of Puerto Rico. GALVESTON MEXICO s k
