Malted Mixer at Sea With Bob Hope on USO Voyage
Bob Hope writes aboard a wartime troopship heading from New York across a rough Atlantic. He notes four hundred miles off land, forty mile per hour winds, and an eighteen degree tilt amid a Florida hurricane tail as the ship carries thousands of soldiers and replaces comfy bunks with two foot wide iron bunk rails. He recalls Chaplain Captain L O Wright and reflects on leaving the United States for a needed visit with the troops.
