We wandered up on deck
other day and were slightly startled
at the sight of a motor whaleboat
coxswain vigorously swinging his
tiller back and fourth and accom-
panying it with shouts of “kick it
ahead; put it in reverse”, etc., in
the most approved motor whaleboat
coxswain style. What got us was
the fact that he had forgotten to be
hoisted out of the skids.
We have become rather blase as
we meander hither and thither a-
bout the ship, but we did gasp a
bit at the sight of a baby carriage
rolling merrily down the gun deck.
It was untenanted —- as yet.
Our nomination ’for the hall of
fame — Red Mason.
With dogged determination, we
have been following the careers of
several authors who cater to our
lowly trade. “How I rose from
the enlisted ranks to become un-
crowned king of the pulps”. We
do have an unfeigned admiration
for some of them, but sometimes
feel the urge to let out a howl at
the sight of some of the poetry and
prose published by one of the more
popular mags about the Navy.
The most prolific of the cachet
collectors — Hays, CFC or Owens,
CMM.
The most insidious spreader of
the well known hooey—Huval, Yle

shoes.” Windy Sampson has “snow-
shoes.” Kavel and his number one

crashed in great by getting four-
fifths the attention of press photo-
graphy. Goodale of the Carpenter
Shop is expecting fan mail any day
now, after his smiling countenance
appeared in the paper. Rudy
Stewart of Seventh Division fame
gave all hands an earful at one
of the little Y gatherings. Your
old pal Obadiah must say you
have a mighty fine pair of ton-
sils, Rudy, and you should take
very good care of them. Bunt-
rock, air compressing whiz, says
he will have no truck with girls
in these parts. He says he is saving
himself for someone back yonder in
the States. Boles, J. 0. messboy,
seems to be getting along very
well ashore. Someone was heard to
call him duke just before we lifted
the hook. Siopes certainly likes
the flavor of salt water, and espec-
ially so when a whole swimming-
party of seventy is working on him.
Waikiki seemed to be the center of
all social activity. Also the Y was
a big attraction. It did more than
any other organization, perhaps,
toward making our stay in Hono-
lulu a pleasant one.

Murray the 1st, 2nd, and
3rd to Utz. Utz opened up in
this round and Murray had tough
going until the gong stopped the
battle.
The middleweight event was one
of great interest as Taggart of the
2nd had beat Bell of the 7th in a
former fight and the latter had
been training hard to redeem him-
self. This was a fight where boxing
was of second consideration and
fighting first. Both men seemed
willing to take two in order to give
one. The first two rounds were
about even, both men absorbing
enough punishment for a dozen
ordinary fights. Bell redeemed him-
self in the 3rd by putting Taggart
on the deck and repeating the pro-
cess when he arose. The fight was
stopped and Bell was awarded a
technical kayo over a game op-
ponent.
Kirske and Mason of the ship’s
team fought a three round bout.
The first round was even. Kirske
taking the second and Mason the
third. These men threw their
punches like they meant it and the
. spectators liked it.
Deatton of the Marines took a
decision over Brooks of the “M”
Division in four rounds. The first
round was about even but the
Cyrene took the last three. Deatton,
a veteran of many ring battles,
injured his hands again and claims
that he has hung up the gloves
for good.
The second fight in the light-
heavy class saw Zimmer, also of
the marines, beat Monsimer of “B”
Division. The Marine took the last
two rounds by a good .margin.
Monsimer put up a game fight but
was outclassed by a
hitting opponent.
