Lt(jg) Tabel developed a chemical detection kit for use by .Market Time units. On several occasions the detection kit proved its value by identifying substances previously not discovered to be in the possesion of Vietnamese fishermen. During our many months at sea certain personalities became prominent, . lexander. our saltiest sailor was always one step ahead of the barometer turning green at the slightest change in the weather. It was also noticed that a dull mid-watch co uld he turned into a circus by our Spelling King . Fontana. If one was fortunate enough to be in the same section as Honest . be Rogers, you could listen to an unlimited amount of true stories. As time wore on there was serious discussion as to when Ogden would run out of ge- dunk and when Pream would stop eating the chow instead of just threatening to. Even Williams would relieve the watch early. In February we high lined silent Stanley Stasel for further transfer, he would rather have swum to the oiler, but he couldn ' t carry his trunk full of sea shells that way. Hineman. our hard luck man. would rather forget his two day stint of mess cooking for taking too much butter, so I won ' t go into that.
