-1-1--nh-aqidgam SAlLOR'S PRAYER Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep Grant no other sailor take My shoes and socks before I wake. Lord guard me in my slumber And keep my hammock on its number. May no clues or lashings break And let me down before I wake. Keep me safely in Thy sight And grant no fire-drill tonight. And in the morning let me wake Breathing scents of sirloin steak. Cod protect me in my dreams And make this better than it seems Grant the time may swiftly fly When myself shall rest on high ln a snowy featherbed, Where I long to rest my head. Far away from all these scenes From the smells of half-done beans. 'Fake me hack into the land Where no demon typhoon blows, Where the women wash the clothes. God Thou knowest all my woes Feed me in my dying throes. Take me back, llll promise then Never to leave home again. Four year's later Our Father who art in Washington lHeavenJ Please, Dear Father, let me stay, Do not drive me now away. Wipe away my scalding tears And let me stay my 30 years. Please forgive me all my past And things that happened at the mast Do not my request refuse, Let me stay another cruise. Amen Author Unknown H5 E

TANGIER-E LOCAL MARKET On the tenth of September we arrived at the International city of Tangier, Morocco, a city of many people of different nationalities. The first day of liberty was cancelled due to high winds, but on Sunday a liberty party went ashore. As you stepped off the liberty launch, you were met by the local merchants who tried to sell you everything, including their mother-in-laws. As you escaped from their sales talk of Hey Joe, special price for you,'7 you found yourself in the small winding streets of the Kasbah, which reminded one of the streets of Boston. The first thing that met your senses were the variations of smells from the local cooking, to the odor of the flower shops. As you continued along you noticed the strange religious clothing worn by the Arabs and the veils on the Moslem women. As we made our way out of the old city, we found ourselves in the modern city of Tangier, with its modernistic buildings and shops. We also noticed the many new American automobiles. We,ve decided it's time for a beverage, so we seat our- selves in one of the sidewalk cafes, for which the Med is fa- mous. We are looking out over the Bay of Tangier with its many fishing vessels, ocean liners and water taxies all clus- tered about the Salem. After a few drinks, we continue on our way. We decide to do some shopping for local souvenirs, The merchants first try to sell us a used camel, but we end up buying some scarves and a fez, the religious hat worn by the Moslem men. Now the time has finally come for us to leave the city of Tangier, and return to our happy home on the Salem. Richard W. Cross, fr., MM3 ,. -,fa 'Q- .......,-..,..,. S , 25,5-' .,,.
