Well, let's go down to the bridge deck. At this paint the boot seaman asked: What's that shed over there? Well, replied the Fox, that's the spud locker and movie shed combined. Again the boot questioned the Fox: What is that fel- low doing? And the Fox replied: Ohl That is Maca- roni, the spud coxswain, but he never breaks his back you can bet on that, The Fox and his new ship- mate proceed down the lad- der onto the bridge deck The stairway sure is slip- pery today, Foxf' said the boot. This is no stair NM, f ,,H',,.,.v,.--,f,.v , .,..... rl lf. Jnllnxnn HJ, -It Tit F. 3-lm l 'v wax mate this is a ladder? Remember you're in the Navy noxxf replied the Fox. Get on the ball Wiiltat are those guys doing over there? asked the :ss-t Well, replied the Fox, that's flurrai Qdmertin and Powell taking the hatch lo-,trtls i, at and its probably the tenth unneces- dirt, time today that they have done it. And tfiini the way they are bumping their gums, the-, re ii.,t trio happy about it. What are those boys doing on their knees, shc-siting crap? asked the boot, Hell no, they are hgh, stoning the deck, answered the Fox. A bit perplexed the boot asked again: What are they doing that tor? The reason is, an- swered the Fax, they dropped too much cargo and gear on the deck that they have to smooth it down Those two characters on their knees against the bulkhead are commonly known as Funk and White. Each of them is afraid he'll do more than the other, so they work together to make sure they stay even. l'That white canvas lying there is our movie screen, ln a few moments Jenkins and Lett will rig it and we'll probably see a picture tonight. At this moment the boot asked, l-low come those two holy stone characters are on the chim- ney now? And the Fox replied, That isn't the chimney, that's Charlie Noble. That is Mr. Weir, the officer in charge of the Second Division, trying to explain what he wants done to Charlie Noble. But l'll bet White gets the last word in. maid
