fellows seized my legs and my back
was grinding on the bunk edge
before I could Jack Robinson and a
drop of 3 1/2 feet is one of the very best
of sensations couple with a few more
feet occupied in planning the deck
with your backbone which caused
a yell & a laugh at my expence
You are not able to do any thing
else beside laugh too so after
rubbing my poor bones I turned in
again and after about 5 minutes
sleep oh 'delicious sensation' I felt
some water trickling down my back
another joke not a very nice one
this was the cooling balm for the
other one I suppose It is not at
all pleasant to sleep between
wet sheets & blankets but "necessity
is the mother of invention" there
