them into a white fakey mass fit for a king.
But this is not all he has to do, either. The
turkeys are browning in the long ovens and he
and his three assistants have continually to open
the doors, probe with long forks intc the swelling
breasts and ascertain when to take them out.
The mess tables are all numbered so that each
sailor knows just where to go when he gets down
through the hatchway, and he doesn't waste any
time getting there on this occasion. 1t is indeed
a singular and lively scene on the gundeck at this
period. Every mans plate is heaped to the brim
before him and all apply themselves with a dar-
ing and disregard for mere stomachs that would
make a ~dyspeptic vince and turn his head. Dozens
of tables dangle from hooks between parallel col
INNS of sailors, who seem only restrained from
eating each other alive by the fimsy, vacillating
boards which support the food.
