Close to the Sea, By the Mountains Under a Bright Sun, Rin de Janeiro Americans do everything in a big way .... This sentiment was expressed by a Brazilian Embassy worker. She was reterring to the QRISKANYS arrival in Rio de Janeiro on .iune I9, I952. As the ORISKANY steamed slowly into the beautitul harbor ot Rio, the ship's big guns sounded a sys- tematic 2l-gun salute to Brazil and concluded with a I7-gun salute to President Getulio Vargas. Then, trom a shore battery, Brazilian guns answered our greetings with a Zi-gun salute. Two great nations were express- ing a warm, friendly greeting as the big guns echoed in detiance ot the early morning stillness. Thus, atter ten long days ot vigorous training in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the otticers and enlisted men ot the OWSKANY were ready tor tour days crammed with excitement-excitement highlighted by sightseeing in a beautitul city, to be wined, dined, and entertained by a warm, energetic, colortul people. There upon the highest point in the city stood the towering statue ot Christ the Redeemer, l-lis out- stretched arms portraying a majestic and untorgettable-welcome. Gigantic Christ ot Corcovadou loolcs down on the entire city ot Rio de Janeiro. Wx sw 3 JI? E2 X , X -4- 1
