-f ENGINEERS iCon1inuedl i People wonder where he gets all his energy from. They have have never seen him eat. For breakfast he will have three trays of navy chow - beans. For d1nner,,he has the same except when they have rabbit, then you can't drive him from the mess hall until he has eaten all the cooks have prepared. He consumes a regular ration for supper after which he sneaks off' to his private den, which this author is not allowed to reveal, and nibble on h1s'favor1ty delicacy- cactus buds. Alfred has been asked many times what he thinks of reserves and will always reply with the answer-- I respect them in every way and if it were not for them I Wouldn't have any work to do! He would then laugh and tell them that the PAWCATUCK was very fortunate for there was a fine bunch of reserves working with him. . Alfred has pulled as many liberties as any sailor afloat. His types of liberties range from gedunk to shooting the moon on pay day. They have been in Argentia to Haiti and .from Houston to Zanzibar. Alfred has seen them all. He is the happiest first class kangaroo this side of Australia, whenever the ship sets out for some foreign port. After the cruise and sitting in port in Norfolk, he will start telling sea stories about his advantagous, liberties. His greatest story-is about Paris - Ah! Gay Parcel! he would always start. His war was ,117 to Paris which served as his club car-sleeping car which he shared with four other first class characters going to Paris on tour. With much partying and little sleep, Alfred and his crew arrived in Paris ready for anything- Alfred was in his devilish mood and manners from the start. He would stick his tail in bicycle spokes and make taxi cabs run' up the sidewalks and drove the French people crazy in general. His greatest sight was the Follies Bergere, in which he took part as a jocky on a wooden horse. After a day' ,of events, he would always end up in Pigalle at Morgan's of Oregon, an American bar. He would sit and talk for hours on end to anyone who was within earshot. After spending his last, francs he would go to the goor and leave and fall back at the sight, for outside was sunlight . . .V . . thus starting another ay. After gathering his senses he would take his friend Mrs. Morgan and everyone .else in the party to the Market Square for Onion Soup-the best in the World. Alfred was really first class with the French. He would end his story by saying that you can't beat their onion soup, but it is always swell to taste good ole American beer. ' A .Alfred has a rough billet to fill aboard ship for he has to know every little valve and switch, for 1n an emergency that is important. You will always see him with a rag, screw-driver, oil can and the sh1p's only tool - a.crescent wrench sticking out of his pouch. ,He is forever wiping oil, repacklng valves, washing paint work and many other jobs with these bare essentials. When you see Alfred, don't just look at him in amazement, but in respect for he is an Engineer First Class. E301
