After that I “candied” my eggs before 1 broke them. ‘The meals were not popular with any of the rest, of the crew, and the double standard of eating on the ship waa the subject of many comments. Just why the fishermen should have three squares and coffes and cake twice a day benides, while we had only two very poor meals, could not be understood. The “white galley” and the immaculate Bandy were « constant source of irritation among us “here below.” | WHAT SUPPER MEANT TO HIM What does supper time mean to you, the average American? Whether it be @ tablecloth dinner or an ol cloth meal, it always bas about ft something ef « function, It means the gathering of the family, relaxa tion from the daily annoyances, @ cheery get-together, a social event, What did supper mean to us? A clatter of ting at the scuttle. “La } comida.” someone shouts from 0 Gark corner. Frowny heads pop out along the bunk rows, as shoes are drawn on and the diners tumble out, rat- ting thetr tin plates and spoons, They make for one of the corners and dive with spoons Into a rusty pan.

CAN'T BEAT THE GAMBLING GAME | For hours a silent Chinaman eat at the head of a low table. Before him was a pile of Lima beans and an oll- | cloth on which were four quarters, numbered one, two, three and four ‘The gamblers threw their coin on Jone of these quarter spaces and the | silent Chinaman at the head of the | table counted out with a stick in his |vony fingers four beans at a time. | When he had finished with the pile, there remained some beans on the | table, ether four, or threa, or two, or one.

He tossed 600 on the table, and, whether to curry favor with™him or whether by chance, he won, The Chinaman gave him back $1. I know Ben, our boss, lost $100 at the man’s table. BLACKJACK) 18 BIG GAME The big game was blackjack. It was run by Ben or one of his mubor. dinate Guamese. The wall that divided ug from the fishermen was scaled at times, Thin was when some of the Finns came below to gamble, Two of them, young Viking» in appearance, had money to begin with, and were plunge’ They held tenaciously to the game, and bet wildly. They often played till 4 in the morning, the gang crowding eagerly around the candle-lighted table, watching the tense moments of the game. Bob, the exemuggier, wae alwaye there, too. Hoe waa superstitious, and never pinyed when he thought hin lek was going against him When he dealt, tt was like « parson pronouncing @ benediction. I never saw such dignity and solemnity. Between Bob and the Vikings, Ren's table went broke. Ben charged the for every blackjack, however, and he cleared $400 on the trip from this soures alone. Umually the story ts different, and the Mexican boss cleans up from his crew and gets most of their $10 fo vances before the trip is over, also loans men money to pide with, and unless they have a big wtake, as the Vikings had, to begin with, their chances of winning are small.
