SHIPMATES:
HERE WE GO AGAIN---ANOTHER STORY THAT COMES TO MIND. I THINK IT WAS ONE OF THE SEAMAN GANG THAT WAS UP PAINTING THE BULL NOSE, OR SOMETHING. (SAT. OR SUN. ).

WE WERE TIED UP TO A BUOY. HE WAS A LITTLE TIRED AND THE SUN WAS WARM. HE LAID BACK WITH HIS ARMS UNDER HIS HEAD AND FELL ASLEEP. ROLLED OVER AND HIT SAN DIEGO BAY. COMES TO THE SURFACE AND SEES THIS SHIP COMING AT HIM SO HE STARTS TO SWIM AWAY. THEN HE REALIZES WHAT HAPPED. THEN TRIES TO COME BACK ABOARD WITH OUT ANYONE SEEING HIM.

CLEM, YOU MITE BE ABLE TO HELP ON THIS ONE. I THINK IT WAS SOME TIME IN '60.

ETHER BEFORE WESTPAC OR JUST AFTER.
