Their cruise was highlighted by: ...the way they leaped out of the sack at early reveille to get at painting that stack! -Guddahl and the way he went for those tutti-frutti geedunks. -the way some of those men could workg you ought to see Gossert and Buzzard pitch in. -trying to slice Cobb and White loose from their sacks in the mornings. -hunting for Seese and Love, on liberty again, of course. Ns- .WMM -those quiet Sunday afternoons with holiday routine -once in a while. v . M4 -William's hollow leg, man, that guy would eat anything! y ' I 1 E -Sita's deep affection for the ship, they had to drag him off for liberty. y -the champagne they got to like so well, pretty expensive stuff, eh, Arthur?
