Back home again to the friends he lmew, His Ma, his Pa, his girl, He sees his pool pals one by one, And gives the night spots a whirl. He tells his stories of ancient lands, Of castles built of gold, He awes them with his inspiring talks, Of the naiden's hearts he stole. Too quickly, he finds, :lt's time to go, Out on the main once more. His Ma, his Pa, are left behind, The endless seas his lore. Twenty years a sailor's life, To Paris and London and Rom. There are his folks to hear his whispered words, Gee! But it's good to be home. Ellis, H.L., sxsn V 55 , I F .l4-L.JfS5C-'P ' X, 0 Q - 98 E-lava? 3'-9.9.'TfLz,ZgA f ,SV QQ?

And thus when volume one was thru The work began on volume two. Yes, here's the second chapter in A series which may never win Reward,or literary prize. . . . .4 These scenes as viewed thru sailors eyes Are written just to help recall ,The happy days enjoyed by all The crew who watched a wake that traced A record which cant be erased, In June of'Tiftyz you recall We'd been away from home since fall.

But really, though, we'd often wait For rougher seas or wind force-eight, AD sometimes to our consternation Hoses from the filling station Couldn't serve the oil as fast As we could burn it with forced draft. Another highlight of our trip and one which changed the scene a bit Was churning through the open sea To plane guard for the CVE We chased the windmill from our station ,Round and 'round the whole formation. Two weeks at sea, then August came, The ocean looking just the same. But wait! Look closely. After days Of searching in the distant haze The lookouts found Japan was there.
