It was a gripping hour that traveled along with U, §. Quakers who sailed their 50- foot ketch loaded with $10,000 worth of medical supplies for the Red Cross into North Vietnam. “Voyage of the Phoenix’ had all the sus— pense of a film chiller. Showing events of the trip in chronological order, viewers at various stages were led through a series of unplanned, unrehearsed high points: Namely, the Quakers’ attempts to get passport val— idation in Hong Kong, their own fears that they would be stopped by the U, S. Seventh Fleet in the Tonkin Gulf and whot events would occur as they neared the North Viet~ namese shore.
