You always find one of them tinkering around the guns or treating the pas- sengers to an unwanted shower bath when they are wetting down. The O division is famous for its hobby lobby, and what they can ' t do to a piece of plexiglass and a knife handle isn ' t worth telling. But despite everything else, they would be handy guys to have around if we ever got into any trouble. 18

Sailmaking is their responsibility, and they are in charge of all line and cable. In port they man boats, drop the hook or tie the ship up to a pier, and do more painting. In ad- dition, there is always the dreaded call, Now two hands from the first division and two hands from the second division lay down to the quarterdeck. Irregular hours and seemingly incon- sequential jobs would seem to make a deckhand ' s labors drudgery, but all salty songs commemorate the deck forces, and who wants to sail the ocean without being topside to see it.

We have all of us marvelled at the model carpenter shop, which looks as if it came out of some hardware company ' s catalogue. The mysteries of the locked damage con- trol lockers intrigue us. There is always a valve being turned off or on, and the division takes a beating when water hours are in- voked. But on the credit side is the excellent work they turned out for the Neptune Party, even if the water tank had an accident. ■C AND R ' DIVISION t l!
