WHEN ONE HAS WORKED ON A BOOK SUCH AS THIS, THERE IS A TEN- DENCYTO SIT BACK WITH A SIGH , LOOK AT THE MANY HOURS OF LABOR AND SAY, I WONDER IF IT WAS WORTH IT? . WE OF THE STAFF OF THE CRUISE BOOK CERTAINLY FEEL AS THOUGH IT WAS AND WE HOPE THE OFFICERS AND CREW OF TOPEKA CONCUR IN OUR OPINION. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE BOOK LIGHT, HUMOROUS AND STILL DESCRIBE THE PLACES WE HAVE BEEN AND THE THINGS WE HAVE DONEL 4 IT IS DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO CONTAIN WITHIN ONE HUNDRED SIXTY PAGES THE SPIRIT AND WORK IT TAKES TO KEEP A SHIP RUNNING SMOOTHLY FOR SEVEN MONTHS . IT WAS A GOOD CRUISE. REMEMBER IT WELL.
