. . . the Quarterdeck was busy, but I found Gedunk, or rather, he found me and set me straight. The Supply Department was the hardest working and the most put-upon de- partment aboard the ship, he said, and be- cause they were so busy, we were elected, Isince we had so little else to dol to learn -a little about supply and how much they did for us. I was willing t-o learn as long as I could stand still and simply listen. So Ge- dunk placed me on a truck where I could stand and listen to him-while I lifted down the hundred pound sacks of flour they were unloading. Move , he said, or that friend of mine in the disbursing office might lose your pay record - we pay you too, you know. And I st-ood still and moved-fifteen sacks of flour from the truck to the pier be- low. Gedunk seemed to feel we weren't do- ing our part to keep the ship running- though chipping decks for him to walk on seemed like quite a bit to me. But since his department fed us, supplied us with clothes, toothpaste, milkshakes, chipping hammers, and paint, mended our shoes, cut our hair, served our food, and did our laundry, the least we could do, he felt, was work at get- ting all his supplies on board. I remember- ed the last haircut I'd been given aboard, and assuming that he was in charge of the department, asked him if he could do any- thing to improve the quality of the haircuts. Evidently this was a sore point to him-as I would have known, if I'd looked at the rag- ged crew cut he was sporting-he spouted, Move , again. And I did-but this time up and over the brow with a sack of flour over my shoulder. I decided to give up working parties after this, and that afternoon I put in a transfer to the engineering department. I figured that I had a pretty good chance, considering that my mechanical ability with the chipping hammers had improved a cou- ple of hundred percent since I'd been in gunnery . . .
