When he pulled an apple from his pocket while serving on Shore Patrol in Manila, Lt. (jg) Harold C. SMITH found he had something. A crowd, including both G.l. ' s and Filipinos, quickly gathered, and one G.I. declared, That ' s the first apple I ' ve seen in two years. And what ' s this about Lt. Comdr. W. M. HUNTLEY almost breaking up the Junior League when he switched in a pinochle deck on the sly? It is customary for all officers to stand when the executive officer enters the wardroom at mealtime, but last Thursday evening, after the breakdown, Comdr. L. H. RANKIN and ethers at his table stood as Chief Engineer Lt. Comdr. THOMPSON approached his seat. King for a day. Bartering honors among the officers should certainly go to the party which visited Tac- loban the day the ship left Leyte. When the party, which included Maj. J. W. SHER- MAN, Lt. J. R. McGRATH, Lt. fjg) W. A. CLAPP, Lt. (jg) R. H. VAN DOORN and Lt. (jg) W. O. COLLINS returned, there was some doubt as to their right to come aboard. They had turned the Rocket ship into a veritable bumboat with their purchases. Lt. M. R. QUINN, who failed to find anyone who spoke Spanish a la Los Angeles while in Manila, did a little better on Samar. He found one woman who seemed to show some interest when he proposed prices in Spanish, and therefore did most of his pur- chasing from her. Incidentally, Mr. QUINN, what ' s this about the shore patrol fouling up some of your attempted purchases. While decks in officers ' country were being painted, a catwalk passageway was estab- lished. Lt. (jg) BEIN, bull j.g., made sure nobody of lesser rank contested his use of the passage by chanting I March 1944 (his date of rank) every time he took a walk. And getting up to the minute, Lt. (jg) Carl ULTES, Comm. officer, is inquiring of Ens. HOOK as to How do I fill my fountain pen? Seems he grabbed off a fancy one at ship ' s service, and then was unable to figure out how to get the the gadget full of ink. Boatswain Harold G. Martin, who hadn ' t stood a watch since last October, was cal ' ed on duty when Ens. C. Lewis MARTIN entered sick bay. Ens. Paul J. METCALF climbed to the bridge to check as to whether the Boats was still an able watchstander, and soon found out when the Boats ordered him to climb to the crow ' s nest. 70
