SMOKING CIGARETTES WHILE CARRYING
GASOLINE IN OPEN CONTAINERS

This in itself, Of course, is not very
startling, but considering the close
juxtaposition of some gasoline carried
by them in open buckets, the smok-
ing was likely to have far-reaching re-
suits. Harbor officer Carter was inn
mediately called up, and general or
ders were given to the Japanese to de-
vote the whole of their time to one
thing or the other.
When Carter arrived the smoking
had been discontinued and the Jap
anese strenuously denied that they
had done anything so risky as to
smoke and carry gasoline. Carter sol
emnly warned them of the dire re-
suits likely to be obtained from such
combination, and they promised just
as solemnly that they would not do IT,
Carter then left.
