to refresh myself at the cooler, Having
done so, returned to what conceived to
be my section, and observing that my COM

moved over to the outside OF the berth,
shook him by the shoulder with gentle force,

my inehable surprise and horror the

the opposite sex. She shrieked aloud, and
in another second had bounded into my own
