They were brave men. They never had their civvies pressed before a bilge, never reported to sick bay Thursday mornings to evade P-work. and never visited the hold Friday evenings for the tree jam. They happily obeyed each of Amonetteis, Bier- bower's or Cecil's commands two steps after the burst of laughter. They never whistled as they passed Barnard on the way to church. never From their vantage points on the lower decks. its members always had a good view of any interesting pedestrians on llfvth Street. The low altitude. too, made niustering for formations and returning a little less arduous than it was for other men. When. during the first week. the tailors came to the bridge deck.
