I thanked him for the advice, but explained
that had my things aboard, might just
as well stay.
IAN right, it's up to you" And So with
the aid of his FASH he led the way aft and
showed me the quarters, at the same time ex-
planning that after the longshoremen finished
work all the electric lights were turned on, to
conserve fuel; hence the darkness.
There were four glory-holes aft for the crew,
the large one on the port side being occupied
by the sailors. while the remaining three, on
the starboard, were used by the Black Gang
(engine room gang). First came the wipers,
then the oilers. and then the hremen. The
stern was really divided into two parts, the
port being occupied by the deck gang, while
the starboard was ruled by the Black Gang,
and incidentally each had their own messroom.
For some absurd reason. the two gangs never
got along together. They were everlastingly
finding fault and picking fights with one an
other, to no purpose at all.
The chief gave me a lantern and told me TO
do the best I could. The cabin was about
10 by IL; two hunks set along the bulkheads
at right angles; two steel-netted lockers piece
of wood nailed up to represent table and a
small bench completed the furnishings. The
dim ray Of light that worked its way through
the storm lantern seemed ashamed of its re-
hection in the filthy mess.
The walls, once white, were covered with
grease and in one corner several large blotches
stood out prominently the dismal back
ground. The mattresses lay on the floor COW

several others. returning from their nocturnal
prowlings, came in for few minutes to look me
over and then departed into the oilers room
where could hear them laughing among them
selves. I caught one or two of their remarks and
rightfully concluded that was the cause Of
the merriment. They were all obviously drunk
and out for amusement. That they were up to

And so we shook hands all around and called

me to wash my wounds, and doing what they
could for my comfort. It was hard to realize
that they were the same fellows who had start

The only response was impolite and unprint-

between the eyes. but restrained myself, owing
to his disability. To say that felt no fear
would be absurd. Put yourself in my position

drunkards and imagine the thoughts that would
pass through your mind.
