A wall: through the entire fair would have fallen more time than any of us had to SPBHJ- so we paused only when we saw something un- usual. , , , flip. A amz-sr, - MP. During the day the Fairgrounds were silent, and the fountains and exhibits weni' unappreci- ated, but at night, as the crowds grew, and music iilled the air, the grounds became a wonderland of color and beauty, well worth seeing. Crossing the Aegean Sea from Athens we dropped anchor off the coast of Turkey. in the Bay of Ismir. The days were long and hot, and what would hate been an extremely dull liberty was made more interesting by the fact that an International Fair was being conducted at this time. Many countries from all mer Fiurope. including Russia had brought exhibits here and the majority ol' the crew. out of curiosity, went to see them. An amuse- ment center lealurecl a parachute jump and other attractions. Many bought souvenirs. the most popular of which were the Meerschaum pipes. The city held little interest lor the crew, but it was one of the last of the stepping stones in the path whit-li would lead us home. l ' : -' -for . , ,,-- igtgigg.-uulw i i ji ' I Q.. ,,s' ' t ' Q 6 ' .
