In addition to personal visitation on the ships, the missionaries used another effectual method of evangelism. They would cruise by a large vessel, American or foreign, and throw on its deck water-proof packets of Gospel literature in the language of the men on that particular ship, then speed away to another. Sometimes a ship they wanted to visit was already on its way out of the harbor and the little cruiser would be put in full speed to catch up with the ship; and then they would "bomb" it with the Gospel packets. 

The crew who manned the missionary boats consisted of a first mate, an engineer, and other workers. After a day of making numerous visitations and throwing literature on scores of ships, possibly 30 to 50 feet above the little boat, it was no wonder that the workers went home with weary bodies and sore arms; but their hearts were rejoicing to know that the Gospel message in various languages was on its way to distant shores. 

The Morning star II was used in the harbor work until World War II restrictions limited our efforts. One of the veteran workers, keenly disappointed, said: "We were sailing along so nicely the forepart of this year, bringing boys from the ships, right and left, and they were being saved. Then we had restrictions about getting on board. Sometimes that difficulty was removed and we went on as before. If we could not, we talked to the boys over the rail and invited them to the services and many of them came."
