Finds Eats Aboard
Best of the War

Yet they do live well. Their food is
the best I've run onto in this war.
They have steaks and ice cream
they probably eat better than they
would at home.
They take baths daily, and the
laundry washes their clothes. Their
quarters r crowded, but each man
has a bunk with mattress and
sheets, and a private locker to keep
his stuff in. They work hard. but
their hours are regular.
The boys ask you a thousand times
how this compares with the other
side. I Ear only answer that this is
much better. They seem to expect
you to say that, but they are a little
disappointed too.
They say But it's tough to be
away from home for more than a
year, and never see anything but
water and an occasional atoll."
And I say yes I know it is. but
there are boys who have been in
Europe more than three years, and
have slept on the ground a good
part of that time. And they say yes,
they guess in contrast their lives
r pretty good.
Seaman Paul Begley looks at his
wartime life philosophically. He is a
farm boy from Rogersville, Tenn.
He talks a lot in a soft voice that is
southern clear through. He's n of
the plane-pushers on the flight deck.
Il can stand this monotony all
right" he says. The point with
us is that we've got a pretty good
chance of living through this. Think
of the marines who have to take the
beaches. and the infantry in Ger
many. I can stand a lot of monotony
If I know my chances are pretty
good for coming out of it alive"
But others yell their heads off
about their lot. and feel they're be-
ing prosecuted by being kept out of
America a year. I've heard some
boys say I'D trade this for a fox
hole any day." You just have to
keep your mouth shut to a remark
like that.
At least so per cent of the sail
ors' conversation, when talking to a
newcomer like myself. is about three
things:
The terrible typhoon they went
through off the Philippines; the
times they were hit by Jap bombs;
and their desire to get back to
America.
The typhoon was awful. Many
thought they would 60 the same way

sized. This ship is inclined to roll
badly anyhow. Today she still has
immense dents in her smokestacks
where they smacked the water when
she rolled that far over A lot OF
experienced people were seasick
during that storm.
Very few of the boys have devel-
oped any real love for the seattle
kind that will draw them back to it
for a lifetime. Some of course will
come back il things get tough after
the war. But mostly they are
temporary sailors. and the sea is
not in their blood.

difficult to maintain his city
