HONG KONG, CHINA — Sailors of the U. S. Seventh Fleet have liberty in one of China's world-famed ports, Hong Kong. The U. S. Navy, which is helping China in evacuating Japanese military forces, also finds time to visit China's historic places.
Left to right: Seaman First Class Charles 0. Wilson of Newport, Pennsylvania; Seaman First Class Jack Lingefelt of East Point, Georgia; Gunner's Mate Third Class James Herr of Lititz, Pennsylvania, stop and ask the Hong Kong newsdealer, "How come such prices for a ten cent magazine?" "Velly dear" is the explanation the boys got. Five Hong Kong dollars are worth about ninety cents in U. S. money which still makes a copy of LIFE in Hong Kong an expensive item.
