During their stop in Valletta, Malta, the sailors of the Great White Fleet left an excellent impression. The officials of Malta were very hospitable to the troops. When news reached Malta of the anti-Japanese immigration legislation in California, there was “uncomplimentary” discussion of the politicians involved among the American officers. A single case of smallpox was discovered on the USS Kearsarge.
