Savannah turned out to be quite the place. With a few inches to spare, our tanks emptied, and a swiftly changing tide, we made our entrance into drydock. After We were situated, we were as- signed our sea projects and it was found that there was much to be learned. The Yard Super- visors didn't need to check their workers for every move that was made, they were under the constant observation by at least a dozen Mid- dies who made sure that every rule was followed by the book. Although we had seen the ship once before out of the water in Baltimore our freshman year, this time it appeared to be much bigger due to the cramped quarters in which it was placed. Savannah appeared to be a beautiful city where southern hospitality was readily apparent and re- garded as a rule and nowhere was there an ex- ception to it. Upon leaving, we car- ried with us fond memo- ries, a southern accent, and the thoughts of our next port - Europe.

SANTA CRUZ DE TE 121111212 Land ho! There it was! Tenerife. A beautiful sight in the early sunrise. After 10 days of sun lines, azimuths, screaming turbines and never ending horizons, we finally reached the islands of the Canary Archipelago. A tour of the Island took us to the craters of the volcanoes that had formed the land, and we were enthralled at their beauty. Many of us rented the small foreign automobiles which were available and took tours of our own, exploring those places which were not readily seen by the other tourists who frequently visited the island. We were amazed after passing through layer upon layer of clouds when we reached the top of one of the many mountains, at the indescribable view in our possession and also at the difference in temperature at that altitude. We witnessed scenes of ancient farming techniques still used by the natives on the island. Although it was a free port, we wrongly decided to wait until we reached the mainland to buy souvenirs, thinking they would be less expensive there. How wrong we were. Our next stop was Lisbon, the capitol of Portugal, where we would acquire many memories and lasting friendships. Strange American ship! All officers and no troopers. No it isn't my car, but for 7 escutos, the owner said I could sit on it for a picture - Getz You both are great to take me to America with you, and all I We were watching the gms on the boulevmd -, Haines Bw had to do, was buy you lunch, give you tour of island, loan Jones you my car ......
