And with them there always comes that mixed feeling - the desire to go, to do the new work, etc., and, at the same time, the desire to stay among the old friends and companions. Such was the case with LTJG Bernard Scarlett. Such was also the similar feeling of his Division. And so, on an evening before getting back into Rosyth for the second time, M Division held a surprise going away party for Mr. Scarlett. It was short and to the point, but it gave them the opportunity to express their feelings for their Boss. l MR. BRANN'S BIRDS It would seem that among every ship's company there should be a naturalist for wherever we go there are all sorts of inter- resting things to behold, and there is always the off-chance of making some startling discovery to shake the scientific world. For instance, who has ever heard of penguins living in the Arctic? Yet who can dispute this picture? Then, too, there are all of those other avian visitors that appear from time to time such as 1van .

But the question does remain, Why does the Mastodon have pes planus?
