Mates of the 2nd Division had plenty to do, but there were other things to remember on the l cruise: f -all the help and advice they got from Chief DeAngelo, a swell guy all around! -that voice of Davidson'sg if the ship's siren ever breaks down, he'll do as a standby! - a sparkling deck, except for the line of foot prints from the gangway to the ladder below. - calling Elmo half an hour before reveille so he'd only be thirty minutes late. - the' colorful flags when they rigged for the Admiral's parties. -the few times the turret got to fire, anyway, it rated a well done every time! 5 - Purdy's talent for getting off the ship as often and for as long as anyone in the crew! I - keeping all the men off the turret's periscopes in Ville and San Remo, looked good. though! l - getting McCullom to leave the ship, seemed like his feet were welded to the deck! f -that fancy work they kept so sharp down in forward officer's country. --the twenty man working party Tornillo and Ribetti called away to load souvenirs. -the cheerful sound of Hitson piping away, whether he was on watch or not. , G A i.y, .

I - maybe gin and tonic is fashionable, but Decosta and O'Connell swear by gin and cognac. ' - Rip Van Winkle could take lessons from Klug, and not in reading and arithmetic, either. - every junk merchant on the Med knows Gaudio with all his souvenir-marked greenbacks. X WM - about Lombardo who naturally dreams about girls, but calls out for his Mother -- how come? y 0 'tl -the geedunk goes begging when Grenier, Greiner, and Card are around-they like tapioca. i -about that poor, unhappy guy, Iorns, who missed a tour. 'H' --Hays and Hawks have decided the worst thing that can happen is to miss a liberty. 4 Q - 1300 liberty in Villeiranche is the greatest. 4 -if those chow trays were softer, Blevins and Michaels would eat them right up.
