By this time, the general opinion of the Middies was that of exhaustion. Our sea time was barely recordable and for the Hrst time in the history of the Academy, the Middies agreed that there was too much liberty. We would get in from liberty and hit the rack and by the time we woke up we were in another port and found ourselves immediately getting ready for liberty again. Few went ashore and those who did came back aboard early. We had had Spain up to our ears! The city was large and what we saw here seemed like repetition. Most of the action took place at the Valencia Yacht Club where a dance was arranged. Tours were arranged to the amphitheaters and other sights about the country. As we departed for Gibraltar there was the familiar twang of newly purchased S15 guitars, which were later to crack due to the various temperature and humidity changes. Enroute we stopped at Ceuta, North Africa, to refuel, and were greeted by Ali Baba and his Forty Thieves, who did their best to talk us into buying watered perfume, and japanese rugs. Be- ing both amused and disgusted at their cheap offerings, we crossed the Straits of Gibraltar and headed for the Big Rockf' VALENC A, SPAI Don't worry Mama, l'm sure he'll let us on, sooner or later - Krupski 1'm sorry, I tripped and fell against the wall - Martin P. That must have been some party! ! ! As a spokesman, 1'll tell you why we came ashore . . . - Mer- 138 riam, Boyce Demaree

Those who had shyly re- frained from socializing in the previous ports displayed their reasons when they went on their shopping sprees in this free port. It is a strategic British military base which brought to mind new aspects of war and economy, and of the internal problems of a country. We rampaged through the narrow streets, reading signs, meeting people, and buying more gifts. The day before our departure we were surprised to see two Russian Surveyv boats arrive, and not long after the Queen Mary made her appearance. Tours took us to the top of The Rock, but to our disappointment, no Prudential sign, although the baboons and apes are still there. When we left, we had enough p e r fu m e, cameras, sweaters, and Scotch plaids to open a department store. Next stop - Madeira.
