,. W -:' A 'V A RICO Entrance to the Fort, a National Museum Spanish cannon and WW ll gun stand together at Moro Castle San Juan is a fabulous place, as we all found out. There is the old French fort, the cramped old town of narrow cobble- stone streets and European restaurants and shops, the huge modern hotels on wide beaches, with busy gambling casinos, and of course the night clubs. The Renville remained at the sunny Caribbean port for three and a half days without in- cident and thereby gained for herself an outstanding record and a solid reputation in that dazzling blue world of the tropics. ., ' .. .W-.1-. , .- ..q..ff-rv-.g--vw .V wi:-,L '---A,1.-.vf---f-a-4svv:.w:nn,-f--,,lWfv..,,Lff,A.
