x ARSEILLES ..... We began to feel almost at home in Italy, after having spent three and a half weeks in Italian ports. But the time came at last to work our way gradually westward. We cast off our Neapolitan moorings, and started on eight days of Fleet Exercises. But the exercises were interrupted, Dark clouds gathered. The air grew restive. Soon the Mediterranean, that for days had lain clear and blue and flat, was whipped into a violent fury. Winds whistled and roared through the superstructure, Waves crashed over the twisting, plunging bow, and their spray leaped forty feet in the air to be whipped back in watery bullets across the deck, Our visible world was upended, as the ship rolled 20, 30, 35 degrees on a side. Men hung on to their hunks, trying in vain tovsleep. Loose gear was lashed to whatever would not move. Hour after hour it continued, through the night, until finally with the coming of dawn the wind began to abate and the sea to calm. We groggily patched our digestive tracts together again, and continued with the Exercises. Marseilles would be our door to the Riviera, our gateway to France. We assembled on deck on the morning of 20 December to watch the Quincy sail into President Wilson Basin, Marseilles - 3' ' L ' 45... 1 ' Lu' ' V . - It ' - H' -T. -:ii ,,. v, h,,L,gg- ML, , 4-T N ' , f- A 4 : .. -M di . --, g- -111 t. l rv ' r . 5 S1 ': 'rl W ,'a :'-'M 'll I .
