298-45, I gotta get home. . . . Stewart by claiming his desire to be a diver . . . and all hands by indicating that THE DIFFICULT WE DO IMMEDIATELY, THE IMPOSSI- BLE TAKES A LITTLE LONGER. There is only one place left to go now . . . thats down into the engine room. Ever since they did away with sails, the engineers have been men apart. The only contact we have with them is when they blow tubes , which is all the time when there is no wind, or when they emerge from their hole to travel to the beach club on the fantail for a sunning. The M.A.A.'s will swear that all the engineers must be mid-watch stander's - they all seem to sleep in. Of course this gang, fthe A, B, M, and EJ, are much-maligned, but that's half the fun . . . the fight between the apes and the snipes. As far as the boys below are concerned, We make her go! It's hard to recognize them when they are topside without greasemasks, in fact some- times they look like people. Now and then you can spot Connors or Cuffel on the way to loot some unsuspecting supply depot . . . or Fisher banging away at the punching bag. Stout uses his oil tanks for a darkroom when they are empty . . . and jones is away from the engine-room more than he was in it. Of course, the whole show is run by the World's Acey-Deucey champ, the Detroit bad boy, E. H. Sorvari, ably assisted here and there - when they could be unracked - by a whole slew of oflicers. The little Navy consists of, among others, R. E. Gosting, the Oklahoma pottery collector, and Hey, I just seen an Alnav! , Machinist Conningswood. This will have to end our grab-bag collection. The names we used aren't the only characters about, just put a fresh cup of joe in sorneone's hand, and set him out on deck with a loud yell and you've got another leading P.O.g put a swab in a little guy's hand and assign him a mid-watch, and you've got a seaman deuce. These are but a few of the little things that make Navy life what it is: Reveille, Quarters for Muster, Turn To, Clean Sweep Down, Knock Off Ship's NVork, may be repetitious - but they get things done and also provide a few incidents which may be recalled with a laugh.

lighter Alwavs remember men, the man on deck works hardest ...A I know because Franklin told me and he's associate bnSS Ziff- If We head into the superstructure from here, no doubt we will run into a pharmaeigtfs mate as thCY are on the loose again. This gang can put out more shots in a two weekvs 1-uh than any machine gun does in a lifetime. XN'ith Str:-itfert and Doyle ramming them home, and Mattson and Gooding putting the special burr on the needles, they make quite 3 team. Wheii Doc isn't navigating, he's down tln-re too . . . thinking-up more toxins, anti and otherwise. But sickbay is more than just sick bay, tthat's a clever statementj. Sickbay is the main deck social club and literary society, as well as major scuttlebutt factory and watch repair shop . . . also in off days it doubles as a cafeteria. Ah yes, but they were a happy crowd down there . . . if they were up long enough to smile Next stop on the Cook's tour is the Galley and Supply Office, fpunj. This bunch hit their peak going through the canal when Mr. Radtke finally opened the safe to pay the fare through . . . Starnes and Carr were on hand at their special G. Q. stations, with adding machines, ledgers and Hitguns, to make sure nothing went wrong. As far as mess goes, you'll have to see the Commissary boss and extra-curricular expert, P. C. Kieffer with his chefs . . . Monsieur McClard and Mons'eur Lyddane. Probably the easiest fellow to get along with is Kent, at his ship's store . . . the gedunk specialist never has come up with Tutti Fruiti though. All in all, the S division is a secretive gang . . . what they have they are keeping and they won't give away any samples. The big guns of the ship are the F division of course. lf they don't tell you so, they are just being modest. If you have any doubts, just look up Vitamin O'Toole, slugging it out with a swab in the port passageway, the M.A.A. force on his neck . . . or Barritt - from the Salt Lake City, please don't forget this - lugging a steaming cup of joe around with him . . . or Sam Bird Dog Franks, king whip-snapper of the division, who holds the straws to see who does the work. Sam can ferret out anything with deadly accuracy, including R. Valentino Passerini playing cards. Then there are Bussell and Mersereau, who came aboard in Samar, masters at throwing coconuts and jabbering in Goof: language. A typical gunnery operation proceeds as follows: Barritt enters with his spiritual guide, Matthews, and Chief of Operations, Giggar. Barritt, grabbing a cup of coffee to ease the nervous strain, barks an order at quivering Matthews, then retires to the Armory, fatigued from over-work. Slim, getting hot on the project, holds a conference with Giggar, Chief of GUUUCTY OPCYHHOHS - Who being a striker, ends up doing the dirty work. The whvle outfit - all of whom have not been mentioned for no particular reason are held together bY the Sfeadying hand of Mr. Silent Dan. Goldcamp, the Ohio barrister to be . . - You can say good-morning to him almost any time of day. Another Of fhCSe Specialist divisi-ons, the R division, has its moments too. Here the managership is split between the lst Lt., the executive Mr. Bowman and the one man Philadelphia salt cyclone, Chief Boatswain Picciano. Their shop, conveniently out of the glay sift, is alvyays a .bee-hive of activity.
